AI-generated summary
The Canon 723BK original toner is the sort of “pay more, sleep better” purchase. If you’re running a Canon laser in an office where reliability matters (and you don’t want to play games with print quality, fusing, or support), this is a safe bet. It tends to be consistent cartridge-to-cartridge, which is what you want when multiple people rely on the same printer and you don’t want weird banding or coverage surprises. At £107.98 ex-VAT, it’s not cheap, but originals usually justify themselves when uptime and predictable output are worth more than saving a few quid up front.
That said, I wouldn’t automatically buy it for everyone. If your print volumes are low, you’re cost-sensitive, and you don’t mind taking a calculated risk, compatible toners can be better value—especially if your printer’s happy with them. Also, if you’re currently using compatibles and seeing acceptable quality, switching to an original purely because it’s “Canon” doesn’t add much for day-to-day documents. Bottom line: buy this if you need dependable, consistent results and want the lowest headache rate; skip it if you’re chasing best cost per page and you’ve got a printer that tolerates alternatives well.
