This is the second time I have ordered this item via desertcart. I have read a lot of negative reviews which stated that they did not receive an authentic HP product as described, therefore I chose a seller (Electro Hub) which did not have any seller feedback indicating that their products were anything but as described. I know this is a review of the product but it is important to receive the actual product which is shown, which I did, at the best price available on here. Review: Genuine HP Introductory Cartridge - Value for money - The product is not a full HP cartridge (it is an introductory cartridge similar to what is supplied upon purchase of the printer) however the price is the cheapest for a REAL HP cartridge. I know I can easily get more than 600 sheets from it (as from previous experience using the product and seller). Therefore I feel the price is fair for what the product offers. I originally reviewed the product stating my concerns with the lack of a full cartridge, and the seller was quick to respond by sending a replacement cartridge, which I personally feel was unnecessary in my case. However this shows seller is conscientious and keen to please,and made my purchasing experience a pleasant one. I would recommend this product as a value for money with good customer service and a GENUINE HP product! ## Features - Original HP Toner Cartridge – exceptional reliability and consistent print quality - Page Yield: 1600 Per Cartridge - Cartridges Per Pack: 1 - For use with: HP LaserJet Pro M1132/M1212/M1217/P1102 - Recycle HP Original Cartridges for free with HP's Planet Partners Programme ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003BFU4TI | | Best Sellers Rank | 8,170 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 154 in Toner Cartridges | | Guaranteed software updates until | unknown | | Item model number | CE285A | | Manufacturer | HP | | Product Dimensions | 11.3 x 37.49 x 12.5 cm; 790 g | ## Images ![– CE285A 85A Original LaserJet Toner Cartridge, Black, Single Pack - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71GWpvjY0jL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: how long does the toner last** A: I reckon that I can get well over 2500 sheets out of it, if not more! I use it nearly everyday and the one I have in at present has been in since.... September? And it shows no.signs of running out! **Q: Should I save 80% and buy a compatible non-HP cartridge?** A: A saving of 80% would appear to be very good value. **Q: Is this a full toner? I'm already getting printer might be out toner message, it just goes to show you pay peanuts you get monkeys!** A: Mine came in a HP box and was in a sealed plastic bag inside the box. AS far as I can tell it is an original Hewlett Packard full toner cartridge. I haven't installed this one but the previous one lasted me 3 years. Depends on how many pages you print and what's on them. I would guess I printed about 1000 pages but I don't keep track. **Q: Is this a genuine HP Toner?** A: This is indeed a genuine toner made by HP, it may be a AC version (different colour box, but genuine hp ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP CE285A Toner Cartridge - Black *by A***1 on 10 June 2014* Great product.
