HP 53A Black Toner Cartridge | Works with HP LaserJet P2014, P2015 Series; HP LaserJet M2727 MFP Series | Q7553A

My home PC setup includes an HP 2015 monochrome laser printer, which has provided me reliable service for many years and under three operating systems. The HP laser printer hardware approach involves two major component assemblies: the toner cartridge, which includes a new image drum and a reservoir of toner powder, and the basic hardware operating components such as paper trays, paper path components, and the fuser, which "develops" the image provided by the drum onto the paper using toner powder and heat from the fuser.The 53A product is the HP branded cartridge comprised of a new image drum and the toner powder, combined into a plastic cartridge which is inserted into the printer. While the cartridge is relatively expensive, the unit replaces two of the most used components in a laser printer, and thereby has a greater probability of providing consistent, high quality printing. Given that the cartridge's cost is a significant percentage of the cost of the printer, in my opinion the best results are obtained by using the HP brand cartridge purchased at the lowest cost that you can find. While I have never used "refurbished" cartridges, some friends and acquaintences have, with mixed results, and their advice has usually been that refurbished cartridges may be adequate for casual use, or for internal purpose reports in a business, but that printed products that go out to the public, such as invoices, statements, and shipping labels, are best produced using HP brand cartridges.The unit I purchased needed to be inserted almost immediately upon receipt, and my trusty P2015 didn't skip a beat in providing the high quality printed material I needed.

I returned product - did not need.

It's amazing! You just open the package and the ink cartridge is right there! You don't have to send in a coupon or call back your dentist or get your oil changed or wait for your number to be called or check the mailbox everyday for your refund or hope that the next remake of "Amazing Grace" will be better than the last 100 or buy 2 to get 3 or exchange the Great Dane for a Goldfish or see every single last episode of Star Wars (including the Christmas Special) or turn back every blasted clock in the house for six months or wait for the next election or look innocent when your wife asks you if you changed the ink in the HP. You can say, "Yes! And it was the Original LaserJet Toner, too!" Just amazing! How easy can it get?

it was the right one for my printer

I would recommend always purchasing HP Brand Printer Cartridges for any one who is concerned with quality printing. I have tried other less expensive off brands or comparable cartridges however they never lasted as long. I do believe you get what you pay for and if it sounds too good to be true it usually is...Stick with HP Laser Jet 53A print cartridge and you will not be disappointed or embarrassed by poor print quality. I have learned you need to stick with the HP name brand print cartridges and search for the best offered price. Its has to be HP for me.

I have always found HP toner cartridges to be very reliable. The print quality is outstanding and I highly recommend purchase of an HP toner cartridge over a remanufactured one.

Glad to have this cartridge. Our printer is 15 years old and replaced another we had for 15 or 18 years. HP holds up and, while expensive, I think it is worth it for us to have our reliable printer working with the brand cartridge.

I purchased an OEM HP printer cartridge, but started to get "low toner" messages after less than 100 pages. In the past when I've purchased OEM HP cartridges, they have lasted me for one or two years of use. The new cartridge began to show "low toner" messages after only 5 weeks of use. I feel totally ripped off.
