Are Discount Toner Cartridges a Bargain? - Comments Page 1

I've also used LD Products for more than a decade and been extremely satisfied with the results and the savings. I've used Canon, Epson, and now HP replacements and have no complaints. Their service is quick.

I don't know if it's me, but it does seem that printing photos on glossy paper fades more quickly. But I can't vouch for that or explain why.

I have a Samsung Xpress C430W Laser printer. I am very happy with its performance But I buy refilled toner cartridges. Anything I should worry about? So far I have been warned not to update the printer software as the newer versions can detect a refilled or third party cartridges.

I have an HP printer. The toner cartridges come in a box meant to be shipped back to HP when the cartridge is empty. Then I buy a new one from HP. I assume HP recycles the cartridges.

I have been using Linkyo toner cartridges for years, with no problems at all. they are available through Amazon at prices lower than the LD cartridges. They come with a two-year warranty. Linkyo is ISO-9000 and 14001 certified and is an STMC certified company.

I have been using LD products for years, I did have an Epson Inkjet that quit working but I had put enough cartridges in it to more than offset the price of a new printer. I now have a Brother Color laser printer and all I use is LD cartridges. I am a happy customer.

Yes! I've been using LD cartridges for my Canon copy machine for a few years and have never had any problem. I keep track of my copies, and I seem to get about as many from the LD as from the expensive Canon cartridges. And, the price is great! I also use LD cartridges for my Epson Workforce printer with no problems.

I have also used Linkyo toner caerridges, and have been quite pleased, for my Brother printer. Available through Amazon.

I have a GCC Elite 1200N laser printer. Anyone any experience of replacement cartridges now GCC Printers are longer longer in business.

Thanks for this article, Bob. I cannot speak to toner cartridges, but have been purchasing refilled ink carts for many years with great success and considerable savings. I also refill several of my older HP cartridges myself. Before purchasing a printer, I always check on the ink cartridge price and whether refilled cartridges are available. Too many people are tempted by a cheap printer only to find that buying replacement cartridges cost more than the printer itself.

I have used inkfarm.com with some success. One for my old HP890c didn't do so well but my laser and other printers run fine on their replacements

Off brand cartridges are hit and miss.
Each supplier and brand yields different results.
I use cartridges from CCS-Digital.com for my HP B/W M1319f with great results. But color cartridges for my Brother 9340 from the same distributor were inconsistent (and when I discussed this with the distributor he told me he does not know who his Chinese supply is buying from).
Greenbox cartridges from Amazon for the color Brother 9340 have worked well and are cheep.
So every brand is hit or miss and may change over time.

I've been using cartridges from 499inks for both my HP monochrome laser printer and my HP officejet all-in-one for several years. I get their house brand "premium" cartridges for the ink jet for about $10 each and the laser printer for about $19, usually when there is either a sale or a discount and sometimes free shipping. And they ship the same day if you get them early enough. I've been completely satisfied with their cartridges and will continue to buy from 499inks.

I have been using LD toner cartridges for a number of years and am very pleased with them. Bob, does LD accept the empty carts? Hate to just toss them into the trash.

I have a HP Color Laserjet Pro M252dw. I've been using V4INK Compatible Toner Cartridges (from Amazon) at $53.99 for the set of four. They have worked perfectly over the past few years.

I subscribe to HP's InstantInk; they access my HP printer remotely, and each month I pay a certain amount of money for a certain number of pages. The ink is shipped free before it's needed, per remote access to the printer. I never need to buy ink, the cost of the package is one charge per month for the specified number of pages printed, plus ink shipped without any additional charge. I don't know whether it's the best deal available, but I like it. I never have to order new ink; the ink and printing is a terrific value.

Do the LD replacement cartridges come from China? If so, probably we would be wise to stock up on the cartridges while they are available. My cartridges from LD (following your recommendations) are used in my HP printers and they work quite well.

I'm in Canada. Have used 123ink.ca for years.

All of my Brother laser Printers are real work horses. 98% of what I print is black and white with a cost of $.001 per page. Mytoner brand replacement cartridges deliver the 3000 pages to match their claim. They come with a new chip and are easy to install. The cost of four toner cartridges is $49.99.

There are CISS units available for many printers.
For my Brother printer I have four tanks continuously supplying the printer cartridges via tubing.Whilst the cartridges are microchipped they still tell me to remove the the cartridge after a period of printing. Remove cartridge and then slot back in after 10 seconds. Each tank holds 100mls of printing ink. Cost of a 100mls of printing ink is less than the cost of a cartridge.

HP Deskjet 2130 Series: Mine - Deskjet Ink Advantage 2135. Its predecessor a straightforward
printer had cartridges which COULD be topped up ad infinitum and I enjoyed many hundreds of beautiful copies for some 10 years. NOW - not the case. One year after experiencing excellent printing and especially SCANNING ability I topped up the cartriges as usual ONLY TO GET C 20 COPIES BEFORE THE MACHINE STOPPED PRINTING.

Using CORERECT MAKER'S CARTRIDGES I am back to loving the machine.

My advice to all it to 'bite the bullet' when it comes to replacing ink cartridges.
