HP - 131A Toner Cartridge - Magenta

I bought this HP Laser Jet Pro 200 printer a few years ago. I have kids who are constantly printing things for school. We printed a few thousand pages before needing to change the toner. The pages always look great. I hope we get another 2500 pages from these new cartridges. There is one drawback ... they cost too much.

I really like my HP laser printer. The color is fantastic. The cartridges are easy to replace. Only problem is that the printer needs 3 color and 1 black cartridge. Four new cartridges at $80 each. Ouch!!!!!!! That's how much I paid for the printer. HP really needs to bring the price down.

Refuse to use generics after destroyed a different (inkjet) printer. Premium priced, as usual, but gain peace of mind. Nationwide HP ink sales are absurd, where usually "2 for" and a multipack counts as one item. Who really needs 2 blue toners as they typically won't let you mix and match when a week after this purchase I bought a magenta toner which I knew was low when I bought the blue. Best Buy actually has the best deal, but don't know if it is limited to Elite Rewards customers. Recycle my old toner (and ink cartridges) at the office supply stores but they are tightning up their policy and may have to buy at least one cartridge there in 180 days (a $12 Canon single color ink) for the $2 recycle store credit.

It fits and it prints and it is made by HP. Win. Yes it's expensive, but color laser printing isn't for the faint of heart.

Toner is very expensive, but compared to inkjets that always dry out or just don't last as long is worth while. Always prints perfect images every time and is easy to install.
