Ricoh Toner Cartridge Yellow

This oem toner got my printer back on line. Price was very good.

Not much to say here. It's a genuine Ricoh replacement and works perfectly, just as it should. It is pretty expensive, though, so minus one star for that, but it's easier than refilling so whatever.

This is a little bit more expensive than other 3rd party ink cartridge than I have bought before. So far, works well, and print quality is very good. Only sight concern is that when I opened the packaging there were some excess ink dust that somehow came out of the cartridge, but other than a little bit of mess, it appears to not affect printing quality.

Update. I have received other colors, YMC and did a sample test print of a photo of my grand daughter. The new colors printed the same as the original colors. I could not see a difference in the pictures at all. (Original review) After years of messing around with after market inks and printers, I hate to buy ink. I researched around and found all of it to be re-manufactured or whatever. I am always fearful of seeing low reviews which all of the after market sellers seem to have, even this one. That said, I bought from the "Ricoh" seller for my black and it worked right out of the gate. If it is re-manufactured I can't tell. I returned the old cartridge in the free return box and printed for a long time before I had to buy the colors. I am ordering the colors today from same seller just because I feel better about it. Hopefully color works as good as Black.

I ordered this because my Ricoh printer was getting low on black toner. When it finally ran out a few weeks later I installed the new one and it prints every paged with some smudged/blurred lines. I printed some color only items which came out fine, so it's clearly the replacement cartridge. I can't use it to print anything other people will see, and because I ordered it ahead of one needed, I can't return it through Amazon. I would say if you order one that you need to test it out immediately. Otherwise you run the risk of either having to print important things elsewhere, or buying another replacement.
