About HP 202A | CF501A, CF502A, CF503A
Overall Feedback:
82% positive
76% liked the consistent color output, though 24% noticed slight variations
The cartridge's quality and vivid colors make it worth the slight premium over other toner options.
The color quality is poor and the colors are not as expected. Reds don't seem red, orange doesn't seem bright, and brown doesn't show up where it should in my photos.
I have faced color consistency issues with the laser-printer-drums-toner. Primary colors get deposited on the paper while printing black and white documents.
I have complained that my printer was locked by HP after an update and displayed a message that the cartridges were not from HP, even though they had been in the printer for at least 2 months and were printing fine.
83% praised the compatibility with various printers, though 17% experienced compatibility issues
I will only buy genuine HP laserjet toner from now on.
I faced an issue where my printer detected non-HP chip cartridges which had been in the printer for at least 2 months and were printing fine. This indicates that my printer is not compatible with non-HP chip cartridges.
83% praised the durability of the drum, though 17% experienced premature wear
I am dissatisfied with the current batch of toners as the color quality is poor even though they are 90% full.
I am dissatisfied with the company's strategy of limiting the durability of the printer drums and toner to increase profit. Therefore, I plan to switch to Canon printers in the future.
83% appreciated the high ink yield, but 17% found it lower than expected
I had been using the same ink cartridges for 2 months and they were printing fine. However, after an update, my printer got locked and detected non-HP cartridges. I had to spend $326 to get all new HP cartridges.
81% praised the excellent print quality, while 19% experienced blurred text
I have found that the OEM product works better and lasts longer without any printer complications.
I am dissatisfied with the quality of the toners. The color quality is poor and specific colors like red, orange, and brown are not appearing as they should in my photos.
Initially, the off-brand laserJet replacement cartridges looked good but later started depositing primary colors on the paper while printing black and white documents.
