HP 48A (CF248A) Black Original LaserJet Toner Cartridge

Purchased this over a year ago, had it in storage until it was needed. Finally opened the box to install into the printer only to find someone at the factory placed the wrong cartridge inside. The box showed the right cartridge number (48A), but the cartridge itself showed a different item number (W1410A), total disappointment when the error was discovered, ended up ordering another cartridge which should arrive before the end of the week. Wished there was better quality control to ensure customers receive what they've purchased, and not be disappointed.

I tried using a cheaper ink in the past and it never lasted very long. I went with the HP and put a date on it so I would know how long it lasted. Lasted a little over two years. I won't be using the off-brand again, which cost me more in the long run.

When this cartridge starts running low take it out shake it vertically around 10 seconds it will be good for another few prints. (remember to use some rubber gloves due to sometime ink will get on hands) when it happens again do the same. I actually did this 4-5 times and the 5th time i gently bumped a the counter to give a little jolt , and the shook it and i am still printing with it. i usually print 6-15 pages a day for work,hope this helps you save like me!

It's a shame that i purchased a printer and have no choice but to buy your ink cause u put a chip in the printer that won't allow other cartridges to work!!!

I have been buying this cartridge for many years now, it has always worked great with my HP lasserjet pro printer. It lasts a long time and always consistent in the clear print! This is the best one I have every had in my life of using computer/printer set up.

I always have a little trouble inserting the cartridge. Otherwise its great.

Apparently, the USP recycling return lable for the old cartridge has been terminated. It went into the local recycling bin, but I'm sure it will be literally trashed.

HP toners have always been reliable.

For some reason, the printer prints lighter than normal even after setting it to high density.

Easy to install, prints well
