HP CE320A Black Original Cartridge Review

A word of caution. When the 'Low Black Ink' message appeared on my printer screen, I ordered a replacement. Two hundred printed pages later it shows "Very Low Black", now after three hundred pages it still shows the same message and I'm still printing great. Don't rush to change.

Toner refills may seem expensive at first, but in the long run they save money compared to inkjet refills. And I think OEM brands are worth their money. In the days of inkjet printers, I learned not to save money by buying run-of-the-mill refills that would subsequently clog the printer nozzles with inferior items. I'm not sure if the same applies to toners, but I feel more secure using OEM replacement cartridges and they haven't let me down yet.

Excellent product (of course this is the original equipment for the printer as it should be). The company got it to me quicker than I thought which was great. I am very happy with the service, the company and the product and highly recommend getting your printers from Revain. The only reason to go elsewhere is if you ignored the 2000 warnings the HP printer gave you about the toner shortage!

I thought I needed a new printer or one of those maintenance kits but they cost about $200 or about the same as a new printer. I WAS USING "Refurbished" or "Compatible" toner cartridges and I started bleeding and it looked like it was just a black cartridge so I took a chance and bought an HP recommended CP1525nw printer. It's good that the problem is fixed, but my goodness those HP materials are EXPENSIVE! However, I'd rather pay $60 to have it work than pay $20 and keep shelling out more and…

The printer ran out of toner so I ordered this new cartridge. It arrived well and looked good when I put it in the printer. The first few prints were good, then it started to print occasional black streaks all over the document. Now it looks like the picture, almost the entire document is in black bars. This never happened even when the toner was low until I changed the toner cartridge. I've never owned a toner cartridge like this before.

Original HP toner cartridges contain not only toner, but also drum and corona wire (e.g. important parts of the duplicating system). I've used laser printers where these parts were separate and they work great too, but the replacement process is a minor maintenance issue for non-technical people. You also need to know how they affect printing and when to change them. (Of course, if the average user never uses their printer too much, that might not even cross their mind.) The genius of the HP…
