I have only used the HP toner and have never had a problem. I have owned my printer for several years now, and it gets plenty of use.

Not sure; but I am now getting a "red" alert on my printer. It shows "low on toner", so I will keep an eye on it and if it doesn't clear and runs out of ink, I will have to send it back. That's not a bargain if it is out of Ink so soon! So just to let you know to be aware, I may have gotten a "fluke" refill, but time will tell. I don't use that much Ink so it's way too soon to run out.

I have always bought the original HP 15 printer cartridge and had good luck with it. When the printer cartridge runs low, I usually take it into Costco or some other "reputable" HP printer dealership, and have them refill it at for me. Costco has always refilled it for me without a problem and on top of that, I've saved some money, as well. The best advice here is to be sure you're dealing with a reputable dealer!!! Good luck - - and thanks for your question!!!

I brought 2 and both came with toners. However, like all laser printers I have had (various HP) the toners don't last in my office for more than a month. The good news is that generic Brother toners have worked very well for me in the 2 years I had had my printers. Also much less expensive.

Hi,You are correct. It was the best price I could choose for the set to be the lowest.There is no difference in the products/ They are all as pictured genuine HP in sealed retail HP boxes.You are better off buying the separately. Once they run out, I would raise the prices for the individual toners.Thanks,Ray

Mine is 2 years old and I have filled the toner cartridges several times....I use a local company who specializesin refilling toner cartridges...they find away to refill anything !!!! It might be that the original starter cartridge which lasts a very short time is sealed

Yes. I have an HP Deskjet and just refilled for the 4th time. The only thing that is "wrong" is the ink level indicator is now inaccurate.

Hello Lucinda, I had successfully refilled my HP 2140 Fax with TM brand dinsink 3x30ml ink kit (Amazon)... BUT unfortunately I got big problem with machine which is running and not printing at all...I did my best cleaning contacts, cartridge is full (8/8) and WORST of all there NO any help or technical support from HP (practically there was English accent woman from India (HP?) repeating senseless baloneys)...She suggested buy another unit (best advice I ever heard)....good luck with your HP 2140 Fax - there is bunch of people disappointed with this machine....

Toner (typical available at Office Supply) is 3000 pages. Ext Life is 8000. Drum says at 25000. Printer will tell you to change toner before you need to. Printer will also tell you to "Change Drum Soon" and when you do, will still tell you same thing even when going thru resets, etc. I have not been a big fan of my printer, but it has all the features I need that others just aren't offering (it is all small things, doesn't keep me from getting more work done--just maybe have to do a "work around" here or there.) The competition, well...they aren't competition--just look at their reviews for comprable features.

I have the exact same printer. Based on memory alone, I think the instructions suggest to not use all of the toner when refilling. I may have used 90% + and even though it didn't spill out I still may have overfilled as printing quality is not nearly as good with the refilled cartridge.In addition to figuring out how to remove the filler cap, prying the container apart without damaging the cartridge, and determining the correct amount of toner to pour in I also installed a new chip and updated the firmware on the printer. Printer didn't recognize the cartridge with the new chip without the firmware update)If I had to do it over again, I think I would just spend the extra dollars and buy a new cartridgeGood luck!!

Sorry it won't work, you will need to buy a different refill kit for the HP60 cartridge. Amazon carries the kit for the hp60.

I haven't yet. I plan to try to reuse it with OEM refill at some point (or at least try just to answer my own question). Staples and Office Max will take them and give you credit against purchases if you want to go that route.

&gt;For some low end printers, it's almost cheaper to buy a new printer than to buy replacement cartridges. Exactly, I just bought the MX860 and will test it against HP C7280 (both brand new still in box). Problem is that I can't find third-party toner for the MX860. Those CLI-221 are availible only without chips and I am worried that to some design and patent scheme that will not change. I am guessing that replacing a full set of toner twice will be more than the initial printer cost. For HP I can find descent (according to some reviews) third-party toner. Yet I am guessing the MX860 is a better machine...I'll have some decisions to make.

yes it is, I've also found that it was resourceful to buy the ink refill kit instead of recycling or replacing the cartridge itself...it's somewhat messy and for some reason the printer still reads replace the toner but that's an issue that Brother needs to address with the printer function, everything else works as it should.

It is all depend on the toner chip is compatible with HP or not. I have not tried it on this one, but on my last laser printer HP2884 it damaged the interfac and even genuine toners did not work any more.

I did my nephews HP564 using a very small 30 gauge needle and just punched a small hole through the sticker above the vent hole. About 3ml in the standard, and 6ml in the XL black. Then tape up the hole you created. So far the easiest refill. Also, you will have to ignore HP's low ink level alerts. There is a way to reset or change this, but I forget.Had to run 5 clean cycles as my nephew let it go dry for months before letting me know.
