Ricoh407540 SP C250 Cyan Toner Cartridge

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.

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.

Buyer Beware!!!! Ricoh WILL NOT guarantee their toner if sold through Amazon. If you order toners before you need new ones make sure you test them before amazon's return policy lapses. Had a defective toner cartridge and Ricoh told me that Amazon is not an authorized retailer, so they would not fix it. Fortunately Amazon returned it even though the 30 day window lapsed.

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

I have ordered from this seller previously and never had an issue. Feel like a bait and switch on this one though. Def not the advertised brand.
