Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)UPDATE: 2/28/2010: My original review was a year ago. Since that time I ordered a Cyan toner from LD and as soon as I installed it, I got the error "Service Call: 231 Fatal Error 03". I've learned that this error has to do with the inability of the Okidata printer to properly recognize or read the RFID chip embedded into the toner cartridge. So the LD toner either doesn't have an RFID chip in it, or it is defective in some way. But since there are many people complaining about this, it indicates a major problem with LD toner cartridges and their use in Okidata printers. I can't revise my star rating unless I delete my review entirely and submit a new review. I've decided to update my review and let you know of my experience with these cartridges. As it is right now you would be well-advised to NOT buy these cartridges.

The following is my original review but is no longer valid since the cartridges no longer look the same or work the same.
___________________I had a huge amount of skepticism when I began to consider buying this "compatible" laser toner cartridge for my Oki C5500n printer. You can get brainwashed rather easily by reading the Okidata literature cautioning you against using anything but the Okidata branded toner cartridges. But I wince every time I have to shell out the money to buy the "genuine" Okidata toner cartridges.

I finally threw caution to the wind and decided to try one of these Okidata compatible cartridges and so far I can say I'm completely satisfied with not only the quality of printing, but the value of the cartridge.

I can see no difference whatsoever in the print output produced by this cartridge as compared to the Oki cartridge. The cost savings is so great that it is extremely unlikely that I would ever pay the premium for the genuine Oki toner in the future.

I've waited over two months to post my review since purchasing this cartridge because I wanted to print hundreds of pages before drawing any conclusions. But from the very first page printed using this cartridge, to the page I just printed a few minutes ago, the quality certainly is every bit as good as the Oki. Also, my printer still reports 100% toner level for this cartridge even though I have printed at least several hundred pages with it.

No complaints, no problems and I am so glad I took the leap of faith and gave these a try.

There are only two caveats... The first caveat is that this cartridge did not come with an alcohol saturated cloth to wipe down the LED array as the Oki cartridges come with. It's no big deal to "make" your own using a cotton ball and rubbing alcohol. The only other caveat is that I have only used the black cartridge so far, but I would like to think that the color toners will perform equally as well. When I ultimately do order them, I will be sure to review them.
