Always reliable and good quality.

I don't normally go for remanufactured cartridges but that's all changed after I near had a heart attack when I discovered the price of Samsung original toner. Cartridgesave toner is very high quality stuff. I have compared CS toner to the genuine Samsung toner that came with the printer (M3320ND) and frankly the CS toner is identical to the Samsung. Except CS toner doesn't stink to high heavens!

The Samsung toner has a very unpleasant smell (acrid and nauseating) and even after 1 page the office reeks of burnt plastic and mouldy milk (which is what the Samsung stuff smells like to be blunt). The Samsung toner is very glossy, which is not surprising since they have been taken over by HP.

Cartridgesave toner is equally as glossy as the Samsung original. It fuses onto the paper without a problem, is very crisp, very bold, very glossy and very good. I am a toner snob and always go for genuine toner but even I now use Cartridgesave toners. The cost savings are superb and there is no sacrifice in print quality for text.

However there is an issue with banding in graphics (i.e. charts and photos) that is less pronounced (but still present) with the genuine Samsung toner. Given that the majority of the print jobs are text this isn't an issue. For small graphics (e.g. logos on your letterhead) this isn't a problem and no banding appears on small graphics. It's the only thing that is wrong the toner.

I suspect it may have something to do with the toner's manufacturing process. Most toner nowadays is spherical "grown" toner with uniform shaped and sized toner particles. HP pioneered this in the late 1990s and since then every printer manufacturer uses grown spherical toner for the improved print quality, resolution and so on. The old way of manufacturing toner was to crush and mill it which gave a random assortment of jagged particles. They didn't fit nicely together in a uniform manner. This is how a great majority of non-OEM toner is manufactured. The problem is that these jagged random particles don't tesselate nicely together like grown spherical toner.

However if you ARE printing a lot of graphics then a mono laser is not for you. I would suggest buying a colour laser or a high-end inkjet (for graphics and photos we use a high-end Epson WF-7710 which gives superb print quality even on plain 80gsm stuff).

In summary, it's excellent toner and that's coming from a toner snob who can actually tell the difference between different laser printer manufacturers solely on examining the printout (and also identify the resolution used) like a modern-day Sherlock Holmes.

It's got the same quality as the genuine Samsung toner but for less cost, but for large graphics bigger than A5 size there is a bit more banding than the genuine Samsung toner. Mono lasers are mostly terrible for graphics bigger than a logo on your letterhead and most mono lasers spend 99.9% of the time printing these small graphics and text. I highly recommend this toner and if you are printing large graphics you need a printer that is designed for the job such as a high-end inkjet or colour laser.

I am one very satisfied customer and I am incredibly (and probably unreasonably) picky about print quality. Cartridgesave toner isn't the usual cheap grey stuff that doesn't fuse to a page that you get with other remanufactured cartridge suppliers. It's very high quality and frankly you wouldn't know it wasn't the genuine stuff.

I also have an HP LaserJet and found the Cartridgesave toner to be even better than genuine HP toner (i.e. the gold standard for print quality). There isn't any banding issue with Cartridgesave toner on the HP LaserJet, however. I think it's a quirk of the Samsung's print engine rather than the toner.

Great product.

Prompt delivery and good quality toner. Cartridge Save has always been very reliable.

My ordered arrive very quickly and I'm very pleased with the print quality from this compatible cartridge. As well as normal document printing, I print on to plastic, peel-off membership cards, so toner quality is important to ensure the lettering does not rub off afterwards. These cartridges have worked admirably with no issues at all - just like the branded ones, in fact. They therefore represent very good value.
