These are good cartridges. Well packed. You have to remove 2 protective strips before use. A tape that you pull out and a black paper. Then drop them in and all is ready to go.
One thing. The weight of these cartridges are about 102 grams more than the empty one. That amount of toner is supposed to print 2,000 pages as rated. I think this toner will print closer to 2,000 pages and not 2,500.
This is based on actual weights of the empty (no longer printing) and the new one.
Otherwise, it has been fine so far.

I appreciate the 2 pack high page yield capacity. However, while the print is OK for everyday use, it leaves a light gray smear down the left side of each page printed out. This problem make the product poor quality. This is the first time in more than 5 years that I have ever had this print problem with my hp LaserJet 3030. All the previous cartridges purchased from Amazon.com have produced high quality printing. This cartridge only produces fair to poor printing due to the gray line smear down the left side of each page printed out so far. I wanted to wait a month before I rated the cartridge to see if the smear would clear up but it has not.

Do you have any suggestions to eliminate the smear line? Should I try the second cartridge to check its performance also before I return the cartridges for refund? Please forward a return label for the package. Please let me know what you you would prefer me to do.

I am not a person that often writes reviews. I logged on to write this review specifically to say what a great deal this is. I have always been skeptical about these generic (non-hp) toners. I bought two hp OEM toners before I decided to give the generic ones a try (coz they're so cheap). I am totally and pleasant surprised - the print quality is at least as good, and probably better than the hp oem toners I had, but the price is only like 1/4!!! I have yet to find out the page yield, but am so happy that I made this purchase.

I just want to tell everyone out there who have the same doubts I once had what a great deal these are. Wow.

I was leery about buying a "compatible" toner cartridge after seeing all of the bad reviews on similar products. The only difference I can detect between this and the original hp cartridges is that this one delivers a better quality print job and is supposed to yield more pages. At less than a third of the cost of the HP and the good quality I will buy these again.

I just installed a new cartridge a few days. So far the cartridge itself seems to be working fine and there doesn't seem to be a noticeable difference in toner quality between the two cartridges.

As a graphic designer it is important that I get good toner coverage and a dense black image, and this cartridge gives me both (as good as the original HP cartridge).

Before I purchased these cartridges, I spoke with Thomas Henry, one of the owners of JP Quality Cartridges. I found Mr. Henry to be extremely knowledgeable about his products, and he said that this is one of the best cartridges he sells as far as quality is concerned.

If this cartridge works out, I will be a return customer for sure. So far, so good!

this compatable toner cartridge works veru good i couldn't find a difference with the quality from the original hp product. with this low price and good quality i would buy it again. quick delivery from the seller is very good.

Poor quality cartridges. Not as dark as the real HP. Two shipping is 12 day shipping.

I purchased these replacement toner cartridges for a seldom used HP Laserjet 3015, the print quality is good and considering the cost of cartridges from HP, these are a great value.

I am a high production at home remote office for a large finance company with a tight budget. Paper and toner are my largest expense. Shopped Staples, Office Depot, Office max. Average retail price for non-hp brand toner is approximately $70.00 in my area. hp toner is priced higher. This is the first time trying internet and this brand. Have not finished with first cartridge yet...so far quality of printing and page count are similar to other cartridges (perception only no scienitific analyis applied). Only concern is what to do with used cartridge? The above retail outlets included in box / locations as an option to recycle spent cartridges. Will buy more of this brand if available on next purchasing cycle. Pricing and performance so far would be a 5 on a scale from 1 to 5.

No problems with this non OEM product, had it for a few weeks now and working like a champ. Fast, cheap shipping to boot! Highly recommended.
