SINOPRINT 069 069H Toner Cartridge Replacement Compatible for Canon 069 for Canon imageCLASS MF753Cdw MF751Cdw LBP674Cdw Printer Ink(Black Cyan Yellow Magenta 4-Pack)

This is probably a good product, but since printer manufacturers are requiring a "Chip", no aftermarket cartridges work. I give HP a "0", and this manufacturer a solid 2.5 for trying.

The color was off with printing. Guess one needs name brand on this one.

The printer saw this as a counterfeit cartridge and would not display it ink level. It also made the printer print horribly slow. Not acceptable.

About this productI have high printer demands and use high-end photo and general office laser printers. Until now, I have always used Canon toner cartridges in my Canon Color imageCLASS MF753Cdw printer. I decided to save money and try using a third-party toner. After installing these third-party cartridges (four colors), however, I found that the resulting prints could have had a better overall quality. Characters were oaky and relatively crisp. My concern was that color images were excessively dark. Unacceptable. On the plus side, I could see no streaks. Some people have reported printer damage to the printer drum, although it is hard to tell if this results from third-party cartridges. Also, not all parts, such as gears, may always be replaced in these off-brand cartridges.Furthermore, this product appears to be marketed under at least one different name. Two items listed as Sinoprint and Sav Finto are shipped in duplicate boxes, have the same colors and graphics and only have different product numbers. Several of Amazon's third-party toner cartridges also appear to use similar descriptions on their product sites. Ironically, these blurbs sometimes include the same grammatical errors across multiple listings.Therefore, I am returning to the Canon toner. Others may be willing to take the risks, but I will stick with Canon products from now on.About third-party toner cartridges generallyMany complain because printer toner cartridges cost almost as much or even more than the printer's original price. People have, therefore, turned to third-party toner instead of the name-brand, in my case, Canon toner cartridges. Sometimes, the third-party alternatives offer up to 80% discount. Hard to resist. Companies like Canon often sell their printers at cost or even below market value in the competitive printer market. They make their money, then, on the sale of replacement cartridges. So, their strategy makes sense in the long run, but the sticker shock on the cost of replacement toner can be staggering. Do you want to minimize risk and buy the name-brand replacement, or are you willing to take some risk and save yourself a bit of money in the process?However, Canon does not make it easy for users to transition. Buying Canon products promises quality control that off-brands may or may not offer. Furthermore, Canon and other name-brand manufacturers are known to regularly update the printer firmware to block the use of non-Canon cartridges.There are many third-party brand toner cartridges on the market today. In principle, many of these brands should work in your Canon printer, yet it is not necessarily a seamless process. The first problem is that the Canon cartridge nowadays has a built-in chip, so the printer will recognize when the cartridge is not a Canon product. If using a third-party cartridge, a popup message tells you that no toner cartridge has been inserted or you have a "counterfeit cartridge" error. If this occurs, the easiest solution is to press "continue." Another adverse effect is that the toner will not display ink levels on your computer. That means you will not get a heads-up when your toner runs low. Some third-party toner cartridges are now available with chips included. This may enable you to avoid the pitfalls noted above. The incompatibility message may also pop up occasionally, creating at least a minor but manageable irritation.Note that many of these third-party products come from China. Some, it appears, even come from the same factory, save for differences in inventory numbers. Therefore, there may be fewer competitors out there than you first thought. We noticed cartridges marketed under different names but distributed in the same box. Several Amazon sites appear to use the same descriptions, including the same grammatical errors across multiple listings. Suspicious?These are just some of the problems. Other issues include text that could be sharper and crisper, has streaking, and exhibits less vibrant off-color and dark images. Additional problems include ink/toner leaks or the printer not operating when the alternative brand is inserted.The bottom line is that, although it may be pricey, purchasing the name-brand toner cartridge will help minimize risk. The quality should be at "factory" specifications. If, on the other hand, you choose an off-brand replacement, you can save yourself quite a bit of money. The downside is that your printer likely will not recognize the cartridge as legitimate.The ultimate question is: Are you willing to take some risks to save some money? I considered the alternatives but finally decided that the safer, more costly route may be the better overall option.

Print quality is horrible. Garbage product.
