Product Review - HP C3909A Toner Cartridge Vs HP 8000 Toner Refill Kit

It is typical to associate quality with the product's pricing. True enough, we get the best value for our money with products that are above mid-range in terms of price. Take for example the monochrome laser printer HP Laser Jet 8000. With the unit retailing for over $1500, reviews have so far been confined to commendations for its resolution potential of 1200 dpi (dots per inch), speed of 24 ppm (pages per minute) and duty cycle of 15,000 pages per month. Impressive indeed! But users producing heavy volume printouts each month won't rejoice in the fact that the printer's C3909A toner cartridge retails for over $200 per unit. Just imagine how much it would cost the user in the long run if he replaces the toner cartridge twice or thrice in a given month.

Nonetheless, users would be delighted to know that a cost-effective alternative to frequent cartridge replacement is available. Instead of purchasing a new toner cartridge each time the Toner Out message is prompted, users can instead refill the cartridge's toner chamber with fresh new toner powder using the HP Laser Jet 8000 toner refill kit. An empty toner cartridge can be refilled for up to 3 times until print quality will begin to deteriorate.

If you're not yet convinced of the toner refill product's performance, find below a brief comparative review of the C3909A toner cartridge and the OEM toner, up against the HP Laser Jet 8000 toner refill kit.

Compatibility. The OEM C3909A toner cartridge is compatible for use with HP LaserJet 5si/MX and Laser Jet 8000 printer series. Similarly, the HP Laser Jet 8000 toner refill kit comes with high grade toner powder that is designed to replenish the C3909A toner cartridge used by HP printers of the same series mentioned.

Yield Performance. If the OEM toner can produce 15,000 pages a month so can the refill toner. In fact, the toner refill kit is supplied with toner bottle that is filled with the same gram load of toner as the OEM cartridge. This way, users get to print the same number of pages for every gram load of refill toner.

Print Quality. It's true that the C3909A toner cartridge can produce page after page of crisp and professional-looking monochrome prints. But it would be incorrect to assume that the more affordable HP 8000 refill toner won't be able to achieve the same level of print quality. Just like its OEM counterpart, the refill toner is micro-fine and has been manufactured following the specifications of the OEM toner in terms of particle size and composition.

Cost. Unlike the over $200 price tag of the retail cartridge, the HP 8000 toner refill kit only costs over $35. That's over 80% savings from the price of a brand new, replacement toner cartridge.

Best of all, the HP toner refill kit user not only gets supplied with an easy to comprehend instructional material but is also provided with reliable customer service over the phone that they can access for after sales inquiries and other troubleshooting concerns.
