Review on Replacement 202X CF500A CF500X 202A by Josh Jeffries

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A couple of problems with two cartridges

I bought this product for the HP M281cdw MFP. Installation was easy, there were no problems recognizing the cartridges. I followed all installation instructions and was very careful not to touch anything I shouldn't have touched. However, after printing a few pages, the magenta cartridge started leaking off the side of all the printed pages and into the printer itself. It looked like someone had splattered paint around the edges of each page and inside the printer. Also, other carts had the same splatters on the edge of each roller. I took out this cartridge and replaced it with an almost empty original. After that, the cyan cartridge will start printing each printed page in cyan. Each page now has a very light blue background. I would compare this to manually tinting each page blue. Since ink leaks all over the inside of the printer and I can't print anything unless I want it to look blue, these cartridges are an absolutely terrible replacement and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. Especially those who are looking for replacement cartridges in the MFP M281 cdw.
