product arrived on time and the printer had no problem recognizing the cartridge (i had a problem with a competitor) i don't think the page is as dark as the oem on the 600 but at 10% off the OEM price I find the print dark enough for what I print. I could make it darker by cranking it up to 1200 but the toner runs out quicker. I found the product more than met my needs at this price point.
