For weeks, I’ve been putting the Office Maker OMW1106A 106A Black Toner Cartridge through its paces in my office. This review dives deep into its performance, ease of use, and overall value, offering a balanced perspective for those considering this replacement cartridge for their HP Laser MFP 135A/135W/137Fnw and 107A/107W printers. Let’s get started!

The OMW1106A boasts a straightforward design. Installation was a breeze, fitting snugly into my HP Laser 107w without any issues. The included manual was clear and concise, though honestly, the process was intuitive enough that I barely needed it. One notable aspect is the stated page yield of approximately 1000 pages. We’ll examine this claim in the performance section. The cartridge itself feels sturdy and well-constructed, inspiring confidence in its longevity.

My testing involved printing a variety of documents – from text-heavy reports to image-rich presentations. Throughout the testing period, the print quality remained consistent. Text was crisp and clear, and images reproduced with satisfactory detail and color accuracy (considering it’s a monochrome cartridge). I printed roughly 950 pages before noticing a significant decrease in print quality, falling slightly short of the advertised 1000 pages. This is still acceptable and within a reasonable margin of error for such products. The toner consistently fed well, without any noticeable jams or streaks during printing.

Pros:

• Easy Installation
• Consistent Print Quality
• Good Value for Money
• Sturdy Build

Cons:

• Slightly lower page yield than advertised.
• No significant downsides to report.

Overall, the Office Maker OMW1106A 106A Black Toner Cartridge provides excellent value. While it fell slightly short of its advertised page yield, the consistent print quality and ease of installation make it a strong contender in the budget-friendly toner market. I would confidently recommend this cartridge to anyone looking for a reliable and affordable replacement for their compatible HP printers.
