Table of Contents
Introduction
For this review, I’ve put the Office Maker CF217A OM TONER|17A 2Piece, a two-pack of 17A CF217A Laserjet toner cartridges for HP printers, through its paces. These cartridges are designed for a variety of HP Laserjet Pro printers, promising a combined page yield of 3200 pages (1600 pages per cartridge). Manufactured in an ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified facility, they aim for high-quality printing. Let’s see if they deliver.
Features
The key feature here is the simple fact that you get two cartridges in one box. This is a huge convenience, reducing the frequency of toner replacements. Beyond that, the stated focus is on print quality, matching the performance of original HP cartridges. The packaging was straightforward and clearly labeled, which is always a plus.
Performance
I tested the CF217A cartridges on an HP LaserJet Pro M130nw printer. The installation was simple and straightforward. Throughout approximately 2000 pages of varied print jobs (text documents, presentations, images), I found the print quality to be consistently good. There was no noticeable fading or streaking, even on images with fine details. The text remained crisp and clear throughout the testing period. The claimed page yield of 1600 pages per cartridge appears accurate based on my usage.
It’s worth noting that the print speed seemed consistent with my previous experiences using original HP cartridges. I didn’t experience any significant delays or jams during the testing period. However, a minor concern was a slightly higher rate of toner dust compared to OEM cartridges during installation, so precautions should be taken during the cartridge change process.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Cost-effective (compared to OEM cartridges), high page yield, good print quality, easy installation.
- Cons: Slightly more toner dust during installation than OEM cartridges.
Final Verdict
The Office Maker CF217A OM TONER|17A 2Piece toner cartridges offer a compelling alternative to original HP cartridges. While there’s a minor drawback in terms of slightly increased toner dust during installation, the significant cost savings and excellent print quality make this a worthwhile option. I would confidently recommend these cartridges to anyone looking for a reliable and affordable replacement for their HP LaserJet Pro printers. The convenience of receiving two cartridges at once is a major plus. This certainly provides value and convenience for those frequently needing to replace their toner.
