HP 128A Black Toner Cartridge | Works with HP LaserJet Pro CM1415 Color, CP1525 Color Series | CE320A

This toner cartridge s working good until now, it looks original, I will see if it gives me the pages it offers in a hiwl and will update this review maybe.

Had to replace all four ink cartridges in March 2015 for an HP laser printer. Purchased this in late December 2014 and it is still going strong.

original oem toner cartridge by hp. costs a bit more, but never a problem or issue.

Definitely more reliable than the re-fills.

I have used these toners for years. The colors are bright and last for months. I am an artist and use it to sell my art prints and greeting cards in bulk at a low cost for me. Great quality, easy to install. Highly recommended

Great product at a great price.

good deal. works.

There is a 3 streak of black ink down the right of every page I print. Like others I bought this to have on hand, so by the time I needed the cartridge the return date had passed.

Product was just as stated! Excellent quality! So pleased to have it come to our door!

HP original toner cartridges contain not only toner but also the drum and corona wire (e.g., the key parts of the duplication system.) I have used laser printers that had these parts separate, and they also work fine, but the replacement process is a bit of a maintenance challenge for the non-technical. Plus, you must be aware of the way these affect the printing and know when to change them. (Of course, if the average user never uses his printer very much, this might not even come up.) Still the genius of the HP system is that it always works, and always works well--at least many more hours and copies than historically we have ever had the right to expect from a printer. and TOTALLY in a different class than ink jet technology. So if you want that reliability and error-free reproduction, you guarantee it by buying original HP toner cartridges from HP. However, the technology is not rocket science. So a good refurbished cartridge can be every bit as reliable as an original, fit exactly the same, and the corona wire and drum can be replaced. However, this adds quite a bit to the cost, and they dont need to be replaced as often as the toner wears out--anywhere from 2x to 10x less frequently, probably only the people who refurbish cartridges could tell us for sure and it may depend on the smoothness of the paper you use, etc. Consequently, often a refurbished cartridge is going to have had the drum and corona wire inspected, but not replaced. In fact, if used cartridges are available enough and cheap enough they might never reuse cartridges where the drum or corona wire are damaged. Some companies might even have a lower standard than HP--imagine that! They are after all charging less. So what I do, is a) try to buy refurbished cartridges from as reliable companies as possible, b) always have an original on hand as a back up in case anything goes wrong, and c) only buy refurbished if the price difference is considerable, say less than half. Also, this particular cartridge is for a very high resolution color laser printer. Im getting printing-quality copies that are better than what print shops provided some time ago. 3600 dpi in color boggles my mind. I have printing-quality paper (thicker, glossier, whiter stock) for my PR pieces. It looks awesome, and I can print on demand for less than I can order copies (of lower quality actually) from a print shop. Im not going to compromise the registration of the four toner cartridges and the pristine quality of original toner powder and new drums and wires for a few pennies per copy. Hence here you see me buying original toner cartridges from HP! (But I dont always for every printing application. I do buy laser printers from HP whenever possible, because I know how they will last.)
