Your posting suggests that the HP 128A color toner cartidges have a "2000 yield". Usually the color cartridges are only 1300 yield. Please confirm.

Not sure how long they last actually. The original cartridges had a page count of about 1400, but often originals have a lower fill ("starter" cartridges). I only replaced the black and have the others as spares. I have had much better luck with laser printers, over inkjets due to the reliability. Ink cartridges always seemed to have dried out way before being used up.

I've found the cartridges last significantly longer than when the printer indicates to replace them. Often a month or two depending on your printing style and volume.

I have no idea. The printer does not have a counter, at least it seems so. However I do know "2000 yield" does not seem right. I installed the full set on 2013-02-08 and it is already indicating low level. Since 2013-02 I know I have not used up 4 reams of 500 sheets. May be 2 reams have been used. The printer works beautifully but I do not know how long I can keep up paying for the costly toner cartridges when the printer is for Home Use. Because of the toner cost I do not print photographs at home.

Yes - typical for almost all printers today, the toner supplied was not full retail amount - probably will yield about 1200 pages, depending on color saturation. Very good printer - fast and good color - not bad for photos - does reasonable job though

We do not get the amount of sheets the cartridge claims to print. However, in all fairness we are an insurance agency that is printing quotes and there are areas on the quotes that do have gray shaded lines. We only got about 2300 on the first cartridge and then on the extra high yield ($400 cartridge) we should have gottenaround 25000 (i believe that is what they claim) when we only received about 13000. The machine is lightening fast and will print a very high volume in a short amount of time. We have not had a run in with the warranty so I can't help you there.

Since I am still using the cartridge that I purchased, I have no idea. Even if I was out, I don't keep track of the number of pages I print on a print cartridge. Actually, my experience with toner cartridges depends on how you print... mostly text = more pages, mostly pictures (more toner per page) = less pages yield. Right now, I am expecting a yield that is similar to the yield of the official Brother cartridge.

Yes, HP wants to sell toner so it's in their best interest to have a low toner message early! Just ignore it and keep an extra cartridge handy. Machine is worth the price of otherwise.

Those who READ the specs provided by Amazon will note the following: "High-yield replacement toner cartridges4 (TN-336 BK/C/M/Y) print approximately 4,000 pages7 black and 3,500 pages7 color to help reduce printing costs. And footnote "4" says "Additional purchase required." Thus, the printer does NOT come with HIGH-YIELD toner cartridges.

On the average, one toner cartridge will do about 2000 at about 5% surface area. For the normal printing and copying, you will see a typical yield of 1500 to 1750 copies. Hopefully this will help you on your decision.

The printer started complaining about low toner at about 1,000 pages with the starter cartridges, but I adjusted the settings (low threshold and low color toner behavior) and continue printing until I notice loss of quality on the printed page. This will save thousands of dollars over the life of the printer. Learned this trick with my previous HP color Laserjet. The HP default settings suggest replacing these very expensive cartridges LONG before you'll notice any degradation of the print quality.

The Technical Specifications page I have on this (my) Printer says it'll print 1000 pages in color, 1200 pages in black. Don't expect this with the 4 Toners that are included with the unit it's shipped with though. Those are called "introductory toners" that only print 500 pages. Obviously they are only half full so you better pick up the standard (full) toners when you buy the printer since they may be at a discounted price if you "bundle" them together at the time of your purchase. Expect to pay around $55- $60 per toner. Remanufactured toners are hit and miss. I think they are what caused my 2 year old HP 6500 All-in-one Ink Jet Printer to die an early death so I won't use them anymore. If you're going to buy toners on Amazon, EBay, etc. then make darn sure the Expiration Date (marked on the toner box) is still good before you buy any. Hope this helps.

It's 2000 per cartridge. I've used these many times but never really counted. I'd be willing to guess, though, that the yield is more than 2000 per cartridge. Definitely a good deal. Take a chance--you'll be glad you did.

TN221BK yields 2,500 pages & TN225 colors 2,200, but there is a catch: all this is in accordance with ISO/IEC 19798.This means that many factors like paper size, font size & format, page margins, print quality, toner density & contrast affect the yield count.Also keep in mind that is based on Letter/A4 paper size, not Legal or Ledger paper size. Hope this helps.

inkjetsuperstore dot com has OEM toner for this for $34+5 shipping - which comes out to 1.95 cents per page. Couldn't find a higher yield cartridge for this model printer. 2k is pretty low.

Hello Cindy, That's not an easy question to answer. If you print graphics on a page, it could shorten cartidge life. We have 3 of these printers and the cartridge life varies. 3500 is my best estimate.

I have run the color toners "low" which means less than 50 copies left per toner. The message now says color toner is low and that the printer will print in black and white. It appears that it will continue to print B&W; as long as the cartridges are left installed but empty.

Staples site says about 2400. The "X" is the high yield black cartridge. The "A" is the regular yield of up to 1600.

Definitely NOT the same. The cartridge included with the printer is about half full compared to the 128 replacement.
