HI-VISION HI-YIELDS Compatible Toner Cartridge Replacement for MLT-D116L MLTD116L D116L 116L, Black, 1 Pack

I purchased this for my classroom printer and it's been great!

Aftermarket cartridges can be hit-or-miss. So far, this one has worked perfectly. I didn't even reboot the computer or printer and the first print was perfect. There was about a 20-second delay after installing the cartridge where the printer was clearly thinking, "Foreign object detected; should I self-destruct?" I was dreading a flashing red light, but in reality, the green light came on. Samsung is way behind HP in making their printers incompatible with aftermarket cartridges.

Arrived quickly, works fine.

I don't print much, but my trial cartridge, even while still at 75% total capacity (after 4 years) started streaking in it's prints. Shaking to even out the toner did not help; the drum or some other internal mechanism started to fail, which is apparently part of the toner cartridge for this printer. I was a little concerned since the plastic housing of this product did not match my OEM model, but it did eventually, once I got the angle right, slide into place. It wasn't as nice as the OEM in that regard, but once it was in, I was back to printing, sans white streaks. Excellent value.

After installation, it worked fine with print quality as good as those higher-priced "genuine" cartridges. I rated all the features 5 stars but overall only 4 stars. That's simply because it didn't slip into the printer quite as easy, in fact I thought it wasn't going to install at all. After some jiggling around, it slid into place and works great.

Waited for a month to write this review so I had time to use it. It works perfect for my Samsung M2885FW. Absolutely like it is an OEM cartridge. I am certainly going to keep using these.

Works fine now. As received it would not go all the way into the printer. About to give up and send it back for refund when I noticed a small screw was not all the way flush. Took a screwdriver and tightened it to where it should have been and now it installs correctly. Print quality the same as the original that came from the manufacturer of the printer. It was received promptly.

I was so glad when I inserted this in my printer and it worked. I have an old Samsung printer that I use at home. The toner was empty and I searched months and different places for a replacement with no success. I am grateful to God I found this.

Printer recognizes it as a non original cartridge and refuses to print.
