E-Z Ink (TM) Compatible Toner Cartridge Replacement for Samsung 404 404S CLT-K404S to use with Xpress C430 C430W C480 C480FW Xpress SL-C430W SL-C480FW Printer (Black, 2 Pack)

I bought the rainbow pack. The colours seem to be working well, however, the black cartridge was terrible from about 50% fill (which got there quickly).It was patchy and required removing and shaking for every page printed, and even then, it was patchy, and really disappointed when I had to done a critical campaign mailing.Very disappointed with this product (the black cartridge). I ended up having to replace with a another product and chucked this cartridge away. I will continue with the other supplier going forward.

I buy these because they are at a better price point compared to the manufacturer's replacements, but they have risen in price a lot since I first started buying them on Amazon. My printer always accepts them. The black is black and the other colors are true. The first few pages of print from a cartridge is always a bit heavy, but evens out after a page or so. NO CARTRIDGE ever prints 100% of the toner it contains. At about 10% remaining, you must remove and shake the cartridges every few pages to get reasonable color density. At about 5% remaining, it usually isn't worth the bother and a new cartridge is easier to cope with. I cannot say I have ever gotten close to the estimated page count, but I don't print purely black and white documents...and I have never been willing to waste 1,000 plus sheets of paper and a black toner cartridge just to find out if the print capacity estimates are true... Generally speaking these are a decent substitute. The packaging is good. The cartridges seem well made, but I have had a couple start squeaking about mid-way through their life span and one dribbled more toner than I thought was normal and had to clean the printer (which is not all that hard to do). I hope this helps.

I purchase E-Z Ink toners and cartridges for several different printers that I use in my business (inkjet and laser). My bottom line is important, but I don't want to sacrifice quality to save a few bucks. So far, both the inkjet cartridges as well as the toner cartridges that I have used from E-Z ink have been top quality. I have not noticed any difference in print quality from printing photos to printing standard word documents. I have not used glossy or photo paper so I cannot comment on how well the ink works on those mediums, however, I could guess that you would not be able to tell the difference based on my experience so far.These black toners as well as color toners I have used from E-Z Ink, are identical to OEM quality at a fraction of the cost. I have not had any compatibility issues as each of the different toners I have used have worked in my printer without issue (direct fit).As you can see from the pictures, the cartridges come shipped in quality packaging.I have been very happy with these cartridges and will continue to use them.

Detected as Counterfeit - followed all instructions with toners, still no go. Quality of box and internal materials are acceptable.Installed toner, turned on machine, all toner spots went hard red and attention light went hard red. Turned the unit off and on via unplugging 3 times per instructions each time got the same. Printer detected the chip, flagged it and went to error mode. Put old Samsung back in and printer corrected itself. Returned to Sender.

I tried all of the trouble shooting this manufacturer recommended... I tried shaking the cartridge, rebooting the printer a dozen times, starting the printer with no ink, then inserting the ink, even tried dancing on one foot and praying to the ink gods but to no avail. It doesn't work.I'm upset with Samsung for making off brand ink not compatible anymore but the sucky part is that we have no option, they're holding us hostage to buying ink from them. my heart aches
