HPCF400A 201A Original LaserJet Toner Cartridge, Black, Single Pack

Whilst more expensive its definitely worth it! Brilliant colour and no leaks at all. I 100% recommend this product and will definitely be re purchasing!

it is what it is

This was delivered to a neighbour. Which is why the delay in getting to meIt is exactly what I asked for and what I was wanted so I am pleased with this order.Thank you.

I've had mixed results with 'compatible cartridges in the past, so I plumbed for the HP original high capacity toner. It arrived promptly, was recognised by my printer (Colour Laserjet Pro MFP M277dw) as a genuine HP cartridge and works fine and gives a nice even black.I'm pleased, but they could be cheaper.A complete set of 4 genuine HP toner cartridges is nearly £100 more than the printer cost to buy! And inkjet cartridges are even worse in terms of value for money.

This refill goes into a truly wonderful colour laser printer - both my son and I have one now and neither machine has let us down once (except when it goes into sleep mode - somewhat irritating but is energy saving, I suppose). We've both decided to stick with buying original HP toner having both come unstuck with a previous Epson printer using re-made refill toners. We look out for special offers on the original HP toners like this one from Amazon and keep a set in reserve. The ink in these "X" toners seems to last forever so, overall, we're thinking HP offer reasonably good value and at least the printer warranty (three years) won't be voided.

Toner is something that makes white paper black.A piece of paper is born virginal, pure and unsullied.Like gods, we control its fate by writing its future on our computers.Then the paper (which knows nothing of what is about to happen) is fed into our LaserJet.With a whirr, it is pulled around into the drum where selectively electrically charged toner particles are attached.Finally like a branded steer, the heat unit permanently fuses the toner to the paper.Now the paper is used. It is permanently and irrevocably changed.Gone is its whiteness, its purity, and in its place is a stark image or text.And the colour - black. The darkest colour you can get.It is a complete contrast to the white - the yin and yang is clear.If you have a large enough piece of black it is like staring into the abyss.Like that paper, all of us are marked.Some of us are saying something useful.Some of us will make people happy.Some of us will make people sad.But we will never be pure again.And once marked by toner (or life) we know we are inexorably heading towards decline and death.If we've been printed with the wrong marks, perhaps we are thrown away immediately.Perhaps we will be around for a long time.But eventually the shredder or the dustbin awaits us all.And then everything will be black.

Order this cartridge and it arrived with the box re taped, the cartridge holder opened and no security / pull off tab on the cartridge - in the process of returning it.

For some time, I was using compatible cartridges, but found they started to leak. Decided to revert to original HP cartridges and whilst more expensive, they are the best. No leakage, great colour!
