£229.44 inc. VAT
AI-generated summary
I’ll be blunt: £190.84 ex‑VAT for a Canon 059H black cartridge is only “good value” if you’re confident it’ll be used consistently and you’ve got a machine that this specific high-capacity toner is meant for. The upside of sticking with the original is predictability—print quality and reliable black density tend to stay stable, and you’re less likely to waste time on odd banding, misreads, or finicky firmware behaviour you sometimes get with cheaper alternatives. If you run busy desks or a print-heavy team where downtime isn’t an option, originals like this usually make life simpler.
That said, if your usage is modest, or you’re trying to bring down per-page costs, this price is hard to justify. In those cases, a compatible or remanufactured option (from a reputable supplier) can cut spend significantly, and you can still manage risk by buying from someone who offers clear compatibility guarantees and returns. The only “should buy” situations I’d call out are: established Canon fleet, predictable monthly volumes, and you’re prioritising consistency over chasing savings. If you’re on the fence, look at your actual pages/month and compare cost per page—without that, you’re basically paying for peace of mind.
