I'm using a LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP for years now. But, for a long time with non-HP toner cartridges, simply because of the cost reduction if I buy compatible cartridges from a different company. During the last year the color cartridges (for some reason the black toner never leaks) start to leak on the left and right a bit, also new ones after a week or two, which smudges the right and left side of the prints. Now, if I would have a guarantee that if I were to use original HP cartridges that these would never leak at the sides, then I would be choosing for original HP ones after all. So basically, my question is : do original HP cartridges also leak some times?

Very rarely, mostly due to the fact that all seals used are new and remanufactured or refilled reuse old seals sometimes.
And if HP cartridges leak they will replace them until the low toner message comes up.

So basically, what you're saying is that HP ones also leak (but less frequent than non-HP brands). The replacing of cartridges once reported leaking is also done by this less expensive supplier of mine, obviously with returning to them the leaky ones. Okay, I'm going to reconcider using the HP ones then. (Set price for 1 black and 3 colors is €152 in stead of the €342 if bought from HP)
