Review on Cool Toner Compatible Cartridge Laserjet by Sam Kriegshauser

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good value for money but not HP quality.

April 2019: Photos I uploaded in order: - Spare cartridges in the printer - Spare cartridges in the printer closeup - Old cartridges coming out of the printer - Protective paper and plastic (to be removed) before inserting Replacement cartridges - installation instructions - printer screen when calibrating after replacement cartridges are installed and powered on. does not correspond to the instructions. The instructions say to peel off the protective tab on the side. There is nothing on the side. There was a protective paper sleeve on top, so I took it off. In addition, one of the cartridges (cyan) did not have a protective cover. Let's see how the color will look over time. It was hard to tell which side was up/down and which side was left/right. There was a bit of trial and error before the cartridges fit into the compartment. - Recycling old cartridges. HP usually includes a box so I can send old cartridges back for recycling. This product is no longer plastic in the landfill. Please send me the box and postage so I can send it back to you. You can fill them up and resell them. Positives: - The biggest is the value for $. HP wanted $298 for the kit, and it costs $58. 1/5 of the price. Let me try it first. If it's really bad I can always get HP cartridges later - see photo of my sample printout. Looks a little brown. But then the ambient lighting was beige-brown. We'll see for a long time. Comments: Interesting that HP gave me pop up warnings (4 x 4 cartridges I think) saying they can't guarantee the quality. scaremongering. I will come back and update this review after a few months of printing to see if the quality is good. March 2020 no problem.
