MC2300 MAGENTA TONER 1.5K

Summary: You CAN do BETTER
Review: Please do not missunderstand the rating. The 2300 Magenta Toner 1.5 is an excellent product. Toner is high quality and performs well.

BUT BUY THIS ITEM AND YOU ARE BEING ROBBED!!!

The Konica/Minolta standard toner is only rated for 1500 pages at 5% coverage. (You usage will likey be a substancially lower page count if you are printing graphics on a regular basis, but we'll use their numbers for standard comparision purposes.) The HIGH capacity toner replacement cartridge is a far better buy. First at the listed price here on Amazon at: Konica Minolta 1710517-007 Magenta Toner Cartridge ASIN: B00006LHSZ, is more expensive at $120 vs $70. But the cartridge is rated at 4500 pages at 5% coverage. In other words 3 times the toner for about 67% of the cost, think of this as a buy two get one free sale. (And sorry Amazon, this cartridge can be found for as low as $105 (shipping inculded) on other sites giving you a savings of 50% (or more if using the Amazon price) ($105 vs $210).

Remember that while Konica/Minolta makes a high quality product, you,the consumer, deserves better than this item. Do not settle for this underfilled, underperforming, overly priced "standard" product when the manufacturer offers a fully filled, exact same quality "high capacity" product at what amounts to a bargin price.
