I have been buying toner cartridges for HP Laser Printers for more than 20 years - when they held a good amount of toner but at least you felt like you were getting some value for you buck but todays cartridges are so small they hold very little toner but the price keeps going up. The bang to buck ratio is sorely out of balance and forcing me seek the alternative knockoffs.
I am very happy with my printer's performance. I do like the two sided printing feature (saves paper).
The results are not in as to ink usage. The ink cartridge that came in the printer only lasted for 125 to 150 prints. The replacement cartridge claims to last for 1600 impressions. I am keeping track as to how many copies I will get from this cartridge. To date, I am showing 60 prints after 8 weeks of use. Hopefully this ink cartridge will preform as advertised. If not, you will be hearing from me. I am holding off on addressing the questions that you have below for further consideration. I now see that you will not let my send this until I answer all questions so I will check required selections as negative.
Have use HP laser printers for decades for home office use. Very reliable quality printers. Have always used HP toner Cartridges, This printer seem to go through the toner much quicker than usal. Not sure why, I do not think my usage went up that much.
