HP - 12A Standard Capacity - Toner Cartridge - Black

This HP Laserjet cartridge provides quality toner. It is easy to install and lasts quite awhile. I use it both for personal and business quality printing.

I've always used HP toner in my HP laser printers, and I have never had any problems. I have friends that have tried other brands of cartridges, and have complained that they had print quality issues, or they did not get the number of printed pages they expected. Besides personal experiences, I found some test data at this site that supports the quality of HP versus other brands. http://www.qualitylogic.com/emeamonotonertest.pdf Be aware that the tests were done at the request of HP, although the lab appears to have used industry standard test protocols.

I don't remember how many years I've had the HP printer that uses these toner cartridges, but I never have any problems with the cartridges. They install easily, print well, and I just never have any issues. We just put the old ones in the same new box and take them to be recycled. Pretty simple.

Good cartridge, not messy. Easy to install, seems like it's been years since I last replaced it. I only print a few things a month.

This was an easy purchase since it is the specific cartridge I need for my printer. When it starts getting low on toner, a good shake will keep it printing for another couple of weeks if not used all the time. I was happy to purchase the cartridge at Best Buy as it was the lowest price as compared to Office Depot and Staples, but I was also able to get reward points.
