*Not happy anymore - almost ruined my printer* (revised previous review) HP โ€‹โ€‹Color Laserjet Pro MFP M281fdw

*Edited review - 10 to here. In the beginning it all started with spotty printouts. My black wasn't that bright anymore. Color printouts were washed out. Next came the stripes. Oh dash! I figured it was time for a replacement. No, all my cartridges were more than half full. Then I thought maybe I need to clean the printheads and/or calibrate the machine. Numerous calibrations and cleanings have not fixed my prints. ALL toner cartridges showed uneven color spread. Upon closer inspection of the cartridges and rollers, I noticed clumps forming where the powder should have landed on the roller. Tapping the cartridges to try to disperse the gunpowder was useless. Black and white prints are mediocre at best. The black was uneven and looked like a washed out gray with a gray to zero gradient. But when it comes to color prints, TERRIBLE! Lines stretch everywhere. Tonics are not new to me. I prayed it wouldn't ruin my printer since I use it for my home office. There was still so much toner left, but I had to admit defeat. This will be the first and LAST time I will purchase an unbranded product, especially this one. There's a reason to stick with branded toners. Luckily it didn't damage my car. I'm afraid if I keep it and keep using it, it would ruin my car and its interior. When I opened my printer, toner was leaking from the cartridges everywhere. BAD PRODUCT. QUALITY NOT MEETING THE STANDARD. I'm canceling my previous 5 star review and giving this one a 1 star at best. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this product unless you want crappy printouts and a broken printer. I threw away all those brands of toner cartridges, bit the bullet and prayed to my wallet god for forgiveness for being so cheap to begin with. and bought HP toner. It was an embarrassing moment when the total cost of HP branded toners to replace this mess popped up on screen. But guess what โ€“ hooray! Problem solved. From the first print out with HP toner, I repented of my sin. My printouts are now what they should be. I will never use anyone else's brand again. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT AT ALL. ************************************************** **** * * *Reviewed December 2019 If you own an HP color laser printer, you know how expensive HP replacement cartridges can be. I was lucky enough to stumble upon this brand, which I was unfamiliar with, but I read some reviews from other customers who happen to have the same HP printer as me. I'm always wary of trying unbranded products simply because I'm one of those people who tend to stick to the brand for everything because of the quality. Well, at the time I needed to replace cartridges, I couldn't shell out more than $300 for toner, and I wasn't planning on breaking the bank to replace all my toner cartridges at once. But I was desperate and needed replacement cartridges as soon as possible. I decided to take a risk and I am happy to say that these cartridges will not disappoint! They are in no way inferior to branded cartridges. They fit perfectly in the printer - just follow the included instructions. We've been using it for several months now, no streaks, smudges, and inferior cartridges. I've also printed on glossy photo paper and the quality is very close to the brand so you won't even notice the difference. These cartridges are so good. Happy and glad I found this and will have no problem coming back to buy another set of cartridges when they run out. I thank you and my wallet thanks you!
