Smart Ink Compatible Toner Cartridge - Review

When it comes to replacing toner cartridges in printers, the cost can quickly add up. That's why I was excited to try the Smart Ink Compatible Toner Cartridge Replacement for HP 58A (2 Black Pack) for my HP Laserjet Pro printer. After using them for a few weeks, here's what I found.

First off, the packaging was straightforward, and the cartridges were easy to install. All I had to do was remove the old cartridge, give the new one a gentle shake, remove the protective plastic, and slide it into place. My printer recognized the new cartridges right away, which was a relief because I've had issues with knockoff cartridges not being recognized by my printer in the past.

Another thing I appreciated about these cartridges was the built-in smart chip. Setting up the cartridges was hassle-free because the Smart Ink produces cartridges with a new built-in chip, so there's no tinkering around with installation. It was also a relief to know that they come equipped with the most up-to-date version of the chip and work well with all compatible printers, including those with the latest firmware.

One issue I encountered was with the printer auto-updates. When using compatible cartridges, printer auto-updates may interrupt printing when most needed. So, it's best to turn off the auto-updates as instructed in the fourth image to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

When it comes to printing quality, the Smart Ink cartridges provided sharp, clear lines and did not smudge or smear. I printed off some important documents for work, and they turned out just as good as they would have with the original manufacturer's cartridges. Smart Ink claims that the cartridges produce up to 3,000 pages per black cartridge, and while I haven't printed that much yet, I'm hopeful that they will last that long.

One impressive feature of these cartridges is the toner level tracking technology. With a smart chip, you can monitor the current toner level and order a replacement pack in time. This is a convenient feature that can save you time and money in the long run.

Overall, I'm pleased with the Smart Ink Compatible Toner Cartridge Replacement for HP 58A (2 Black Pack). They provide excellent value for money, install quickly and easily, and produce high-quality prints. If you're looking for a cost-effective and reliable alternative to OEM cartridges, these toner replacements from Smart Ink are worth a try.

However, I did notice that the product has a 3.9 out of 5-star rating with 20 reviews. Some customers complained that the cartridges ran out quickly or didn't work with their printer models. While I experienced none of these issues myself, I recommend double-checking your printer's compatibility before purchasing and keeping your invoice as a receipt.

In conclusion, the Smart Ink Compatible Toner Cartridge Replacement for HP 58A (2 Black Pack) is a cost-effective and easy-to-install solution for people looking for reliable alternatives to OEM cartridges. They produce high-quality prints, come equipped with a built-in smart chip and toner level tracking technology, and offer substantial savings compared to branded cartridges. While there may be some reported issues, I found no problems with their performance, so I will continue to use and recommend these toner cartridges.
