I replaced the "starter" toner cartridge in my p1006 that lasted almost a year. This cartridge is about 40% the price of a genuine HP one, and it installed without a hitch. On my PC a window popped up saying "Genuine HP cartridge installed".

After printing a couple test pages I can already tell that this will not be a great product. This cartridge is prints MUCH lighter than the HP one I had. With that, I could set it to "Econo mode" and have perfectly fine prints (crosswords usually). With this cartridge and the same settings it was about 50% lighter than the HP, and very uneven. Even in Full 600 (middle range) mode I could see lines of white where there should be solid black... This does not bode well. I'll see what the yield ends up being, but id guess much less than the original.

I would not buy this one again.

It was worth giving this toner a try, given the huge price difference. The cartridge slides in with no problem, so it does appear to be compatible. However, the printing is so light that I had to select the highest printing density just to get easily readable output. It's too soon to tell whether printing at highest density will dramatically reduce the number of pages I can print from this cartridge. However, even at highest density printing, the pages are still not as crisp and readable as I'm used to. If you don't need your printing nice and dark, this cartridge may be fine, and the price is very reasonable for draft quality. However, I wouldn't buy this cartridge again.

These are cheap chinese knock offs that have really poor quality toner in them. After running five or six pages through the new toner, I found that my grayscale tones were not coming through on documents at all. Thin lines do not appear either - it's almost as if the toner grade is so low is doesn't statically charge up enough to stick in small amounts.

I printed some map directions and folded them up in my pocket. When I unfolded the paper, the toner was flaking off in several places! I have never had this happen in any toner cartridges I have ever owned.

These cartridges are only good if you need to look at the printed word for ten minutes of less than throw the paper away.

I guess you really do get what you pay for - I wish I had paid more for something else.

I ordered this cartridge because the original HP one cost around $70, so this was a great bargain. It slid right into the printer and the first few pages came out OK, although with a few blemishes. However, after about 5 pages it started printing like it ran out of ink. You could see some things on the sides but there would be barely anything in the middle of the page. Completely unusable. I was not trying to pint anything fancy, just word documents using regular fonts. I packed this thing right back up and requested a refund from Amazon. Thank goodness for their refund policy, it was accomplished easily. Then I went to Office Depot and paid $70 for the original HP cartridge that's been printing good quality documents from the very first page. Don't waste your money and time, buy the original and stay away from this product.

Don't be fooled by the fake positive reviews on these "compatible" products. I don't work for HP either. I'm Just a small business owner. I bought the 3 pack of this compatible product and I can tell you first hand that the print darkness is less then half that of a genuine HP cartridge. That's comparing a printed page with this new "compatible" cartridge to a page printed with my almost expired HP cartridge. Plus, many areas of the printed page is even lighter to the point where you can barely see it. You know when you get a pop up from HP that says your cartridge is almost out and you still get like 100 good pages but then you start to get really bad pages? The bad page is what you get when you install one of these "compatible" cartridges brand new. Believe me, I've been known to try to bend back used staples and reuse them. I need to save $. But the cost savings here isn't worth it.

The cartridge was not compatible with the printer (Laser Jet (P1006), which I have.

When installed, the printer did not operate.

Delivery was fast but the product is so cheap it's only work for a week and out of toner already. I left the voice mail to there customer service but no respond. Don't buy this cheap made in china junk.

I can't figure out what all the complaints are about. This product does what it is supposed to at 40% of the price of an HP cartidge.

I hesitated buying this cartridge, because a coworker told me the print quality would not be as good as an HP cartridge. Boy were they wrong! This is a fantastic cartridge that works perfectly with my HP printer. I have not noticed a change in the print quality from the previous cartridge to this one!

Not too much to say here - this toner cartridge worked exactly as it should. Nothing odd, no special tasks to complete - no compromises. There is no reason to pay full price for a new one boxed by HP. I'm confident you will not regret purchasing this version!
