HP announced findings of third-party research detailing that Original HP LaserJet toner cartridges outperformed non-HP toner cartridges in all areas of the study.

The research tested 216 non-HP toner cartridges available in Europe, the Middle East and Africa against Original HP LaserJet toner cartridges.

The results showed that when combining all problem categories, Original HP toner cartridges exhibited no failures in the study, compared to an average of 41.7% for the 216 non-HP cartridges tested. Results indicated that original HP toner cartridges printed an average of 97.0% of sample pages categorized as acceptable for all uses, commercial or otherwise, compared to an average of only 61.0% for the non-HP cartridges tested.

During testing, Original HP LaserJet print cartridges demonstrated solid toner adhesion; while pages printed using non-HP toner cartridges had issues with bonding to the paper. When toner is not well-adhered, there’s a greater chance that it could scratch off or transfer to other pages. Most non-HP toner cartridges printed lighter text and graphics when compared with Original HP LaserJet print cartridges.

Luis Casado, Marketing Director, HP LaserJet & Enterprise Solutions, GTMU Imaging & Printing Group, EMEA explains that to make an informed purchasing decision customers should look at several factors, including quality, reliability and productivity.

“The results of the study demonstrate that Original HP supplies consistently deliver more professional-quality pages and in turn a more productive business environment than non-HP toner cartridges,” said Casado. “With every purchase of Original HP supplies, HP customers are provided with a return on investment they can rely on.

In fact, non-HP toner cartridges can cost up to 20% more over time than Original HP LaserJet print cartridges
