Review on πŸ”΄ HP 125A Magenta Toner Cartridge CB543A by Scott Rao

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Toner powder squirts out of cartridge

Like most online shoppers, I ordered a replacement cartridge when I opened the last cartridge in our inventory. I usually order Original HP from HP or Revain. But I was impressed by the price of the cartridge offered by Vivamart and decided to give it a try. I ordered the "HP CB543A Original Magenta Color LaserJet Cartridge". Delivery arrived on time. The packaging seemed good. And I put the cartridge away to use when it's time for the next replacement. Seven months later, when I opened the cartridge packaging and followed the instructions inside the box, I shook the cartridge before inserting it into the printer. When I shook the cartridge, a magenta powder remained on the bottom. i thought it was normal I cleaned the cartridge and drum with a Kleenex cloth and put them in the printer. When I did a test print, all my sheets had magenta streaks. I then thought it was a new cartridge, but after printing about 20 pages I'm still getting magenta dots and streaks/lines on the pages, plus the magenta ink is now dry on my print drum. I have contacted Vivamart for advice and they have told me that it has been over 180 days since I placed the order and have no further advice or advice. I've never had this problem with an HP original. You pay extra for the original, but it seems like it's worth every extra penny. In addition to the inconvenience, you also risk ruining the printer.

Pros
  • Printers & supplies
Cons
  • I can't remember, but there was something
