HP 58X Black High-yield Toner Cartridge

After purchasing a new HP laser printer (Laser Jet Pro M404n) and the initial cartridge was coming to its end, I had to weigh the cost of this cartridge with simply purchasing another printer. The later course of action has been what I have done for the last five printers (inexpensive Brother printers) which I discarded once the printer was out of ink and replaced with a new printer. However, the print quality of this printer plus the quality of the machine itself, integration with my computer plus the quality of the cartridges far exceed any other printer I have previously owned. Thus I invested a small fortune for one HP 58X cartridge which once unpacked slides easily into place and restarted my printer for endless clean, sharp prints. I have tried none brand name cartridges in the past but you get what you pay for - terrible results. Thus we are held captive by HP and how much they charge for these toner cartridges. They are certainly not worth their current price of $222 since I purchased the printer for nearly half of this one sale. I never see these cartridges on sale anywhere. Thus we shall see if it delivers a much large print quantity. If so (lasts me six months or longer), I will reinvest in another one. Anything less, I will likely go back to replacing printers as they are on sale. Seems like a terrible recycling waste yet it would be foolish to fall for these companies' games. Businesses typically do not have the resources to do this but as a private consumer who has 4-5 printers in my home office, not a problem. With all that said, I was impressed by the quality of this toner cartridge and the best looking laser printing I have from many different printers. I use HP high quality paper as well - this I can find on great sale prices even here on Amazon in bulk. Wish they offered the same for this toner cartridge or at least a 15% subscription plan discount.
