Performance & Testing
I printed a variety of documents to assess the cartridge’s performance. These included text-heavy documents, images with fine details, and even some full-color brochures. The text quality was consistently sharp and clear, living up to the “laser-quality” claim. Images, while not photo-lab quality, were vibrant and reproduced details well. I didn’t experience any noticeable smearing or bleeding, even on slightly more absorbent paper types. The cartridge lasted significantly longer than my previous, off-brand alternative, justifying the potentially higher upfront cost through overall cost savings.
In terms of speed, I didn’t notice any significant impact on print times compared to other cartridges I’ve used. The consistency of the print quality across numerous pages was commendable. There were no noticeable drops in quality even towards the end of the cartridge’s life cycle. However, I did notice a slight increase in drying time, especially when printing in high-volume.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Consistent print quality, sharp text, vibrant colors, long-lasting, cost-effective for high-volume printing, reliable performance.
- Cons: Slightly longer drying time for high-volume printing, Not suitable for professional photo printing (minor limitation).
Final Verdict
Overall, the 123 Replacement Ink Cartridge Black (2724446277366) is a solid performer. The print quality is excellent for everyday use, and its longevity makes it a worthwhile investment, particularly if you regularly print significant volumes. While the slightly longer drying time for large print jobs is a minor drawback, it’s certainly not a deal-breaker. I would confidently recommend this cartridge to anyone looking for a reliable and cost-effective solution for their printing needs.
