AI-generated summary
If you’re after a straightforward, low-drama option for Canon laser printing, the Canon 728 toner is a solid pick. At £62.18 ex-VAT, it’s priced in the “reasonable replacement” bracket rather than the “premium tax,” and for most offices the biggest win is simply reliability—Canon OEM toners tend to behave predictably with fewer hassles like print quality drifting or annoying compatibility messages. If you’ve got a Canon device that calls for 728 specifically and you print consistently (not just the occasional page), this is the kind of cartridge that keeps workflows moving without you thinking about it.
That said, I wouldn’t buy it if you’re chasing absolute cost-per-page above all else. Depending on your exact model, the alternative could be compatible/high-yield options that bring the unit cost down—often worth it for high-volume printing where you can tolerate a bit more variation. Also, if you only print intermittently, OEM can feel expensive versus buying larger packs or using a cheaper alternative that’s designed for cost efficiency.
**Who should buy:** small-to-mid UK businesses running Canon printers regularly who value dependable output and minimal maintenance headaches. **Who should skip:** teams trying to minimise cost-per-page at scale or anyone printing so sporadically that the toner spends more time on the shelf than in the printer.
