worked perfectly for 1/3 the cost of OEM Canon
By reviewer at large
I'm now on my 3rd CRG-104 compatible toner cartridge, and if there is any difference between this cartridge and Canon OE, I can't tell. Note: this review pertains to CRG-104 cartridges ordered from "TheFactoryDepot" -- can't vouch for anyone else's merchandise.

I was deeply skeptical of aftermarket cartridges, so much so that the first 4-5 replacements I bought were genuine Canon. Still, I print easily 1,000+ pages a month, and at $70 a pop, the cost of Canon OE cartridges for my MF-4150 laser multifunction printer was really starting to add up. I figured that for 1/3 the cost of genuine Canon these cartridges were worth a try. Thousands of printed-pages later, I would never go back to being so shamelessly ripped off by Canon. There is something wrong with this world if this no-name company (I have no idea who actually makes these things) can sell a cartridge this good for 1/3 the price charged by Canon.

One caveat, the cartridge is rated to print 2,000 pages at 5% coverage, but in reality prints only about 1,400 pages. I attribute this to the fact that "5% coverage" is actually pretty skimpy and a typical densly-worded page of text is closer to 10-15% coverage. Anyway, the OE-Canon cartridge turned out roughly the same number of pages before going dry. Now, for the cheap among us (and if you're buying this cartridge--and still reading this description--there's a good chance you're pretty friggin cheap) it's possible to squeeze out about 150 extra pages after the printer tells you it's empty by removing the cartridge and shaking it in the same manner as when you first installed it (plus a little side-to-side shake for good measure).

*** June 20, 2010 - By way of an update, I've now been using these aftermarket CRG-104 cartridges for well over a year and still can't tell the difference between these and Canon OEM cartridges.

First 100 or so page was perfect, then ...

*** This is a 9/20/2010 update to my previous posted review ***
I need to echo on the 9/5/2010 review by another user. After 200 pages of print, I start experiencing black dots on the edge of my printout. I will try cleaning my print path, but I am pretty sure that is due to the toner. Amazon, I think you need to do some quality control in terms of the product being sold here. I have to say I am quite disappointing after my initial excitement.

*** This is my original 9/7/2010 review ***
My product is from Factory Depot. I just installed the replacement toner in Canon D480. After one day of use (~80 pages), I cannot tell the difference between the OEM and this toner. Please remember this comment is based on one day of use (~80 pages). As for my starter toner, it only lasts 900 pages. Let's see if this one can last 1800 pages. If this toner does not live up to standard for 1800 pages, I will definitely update this review.

Disappointingly poor quality
By TheDecider
I've owned laser printers since the mid 80s when they cost as much as a small car (really). I have always purchased branded toner from the printer manufacturer. HP printer = HP toner. Canon printer = Canon toner etc.

Until this purchase I had never bought one of these "knock off" compatible toner cartridges. I wondered if maybe I was a sucker, paying too much for toner, so I figured I would give this a try - there are plenty of reviews with people saying the quality is the same as the OEM branded product.

Wow what a mistake this purchase was. The first 50 or so pages looked OK but then they started to have a small black mark every inch or so down the side of the paper. Now all of my prints have a thick black smudge every inch down the right side of the printed page.

So, into the trash can with this toner (after only approx 200 basic pages) and off I go to buy the more expensive Canon branded toner that I've never had any problems with. Maybe I was unlucky, but I don't feel like gambling any more.
