    The 3 stars is not for the quality of the ink. More for the price point. Paying 23 dollars for 1 ink cartridge is a little steep. But other than that, the ink is solid.

    I really like my Inkjet printer but the ink is expensive. I checked and Best Buy had the best price, and it was delivered the next day.

    It's an OEM cartridge. It works just fine. Because it's OEM it's a little pricey.

    Good product, although the printer seems to go through this toner rather quickly making it a tad on the expensive side.
