Review on ๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ GREENSKY Compatible Toner Cartridges - 5 Packs for 202A CF500A 202X Color Pro MFP Printers by Adam Martin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A reliable alternative to the more expensive HP laser toner with two black cartridges on top of that!

Working from home has been taking its toll on my HP Color LaserJet Pro M281cdw MFP over the past few months (so much for going paperless). I wanted to have a spare set of toner cartridges on hand when my current ones run out where they come in handy. I chose this Greensky offering because it comes with 2 black cartridges (along with the other 3 colors) which is handy considering I use more black cartridges than anything else. These are regular capacity cartridges so they can be compared to HP's 202a offering. Normally I would use High Yield cartridges (202x) but I haven't seen Greensky's 202x offering with two black cartridges. Since these are used the fastest, I decided on suggestion 202a. Pros: *Package is solid, good considering it will be in the basement for a while before use (comes in a stronger box than a normal box, cartridges are well protected and sealed inside)*Includes instructions, that someone might find useful. including when to replace and contacting the seller (good for beginners)* Comparing these cartridges to my used HP cartridges shows slight design differences (but does not affect performance as mentioned below)* Electronic circuitry on standard HP cartridges and Greensky look different and the printer recognizes that it is not HP, but again this does not affect performance* Cartridge installation is the same as HP cartridges and you can replace one or all as needed* The printer goes through an initialization cycle after recognizing them as third-party cartridges all color levels are full I've printed about 5 pages so far, the quality is t Identical to original HP cartridges. I'll come back when one of these expires and update the review with thoughts on durability. Imagine black toner comes first. I gave them 5 stars for durability with the expectation that they will last, time will tell and then so will I. The printer usually recognizes the cartridges, the quality is the same as the OEM and you get two black cartridges instead of the usual ones. The only thing I could ask for is the same number of toners but at the high performance level of 202x.
