Lasted a little less than a year in use

For the price, it suited me very well. However, be careful. I had two problems with this drum. 1. The drum I bought from EZ Ink started doubling and streaking after almost a year of use. We use the printer quite a bit, but the original drum has lasted much longer with the same usage. The drum shows lines that were not on the previously used drum. 2. After installing this drum unit, paper jams will occur in duplex mode when printing on the other side of each page. Jams not always, but often (only when printing on the back of the sheet). I've found that if I tap the side of the printer lightly as it feeds the back of the page, it comes through. Of course it's not perfect and it's possible that something else is causing the jam, but it didn't get stuck with the drum installed previously and I cleaned all the feed rollers with alcohol and cotton swabs. Might be worth it due to the shorter lifespan and reversible feeding issues considering the price is 1/10th the OEM price but I'm not sure if that's the case I'll probably order again but if it'll be a lot less than a year next year, I'll probably bite the bullet and go back to the OEM.

Pros
  • Hands-free
Cons
  • Very expensive
