Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)So far I have only replaced the black cartridge. At first, the printer did not recognize it. I removed it, put it back in again, and all was well.
However, after a short time, the printer reported the ink tank as empty again. I contacted Toner Pals and they said this is normal; sometimes the printer does not recognize their cartridges. While I have had no printing problems, not having reliable information on the status of the ink tank is an issue. I have heard some reports that this problem occurs even with the manufacturer's tanks; one user recommended simply continuing to print until the ink runs out. However, others warn that this risks damaging the unit.
The problem may ultimately lie with the chip/sensor that monitors the ink tanks, but at this point I feel safer using the manufacturer's cartridges.
Update: A few days later, the printer now says the ink tank is dry. Looking at the color cartridges from Toner Pals, they come from two different manufacturers. Since I don't do a high volume of printing, I feel more comfortable paying a bit more for the name-brand and hopefully getting more usage out of the ink tanks. The Amazon price for the OEM is reasonable.
