Non-OEM toner cartridges

I've used refilled toner cartridges from 123refills.com for years on three different laser printers both color and B&W with no problems at all.

Maybe he has to print specs on possible new campers? ;)

I have have poor experience with refilled cartridges or non- original equipment cartridges.

Yes, try the refill or aftermarket cartridges. If you are lucky, your printer will work well with them. Otherwise, you have to buy from the manufacturer.

My local Staples store stopped carrying aftermarket, generic printer cartridges years ago. One of the employees there told me it wasn't to charge more, but they just had so many returns of the non-OEM cartridges they just gave up.

Nice thing about laser printers is that the "full size" cartridges should last far longer than ink jet cartridges... so yes they are expensive, but you shouldn't have to be replacing them every few months.

It is $50 to buy new inkjet cartridges for my bottom-of-the-line HP inkjet printer (which prints horrible with anything other than HP ink cartridges). That HP printer cost me $39 originally, lol! If a laser printer lasts 3, 4, or more times longer, then they are worth it.

We just bought a new Brother multi function laser printer, and it came with "starter" laser cartridges. So I'll find out for myself how long they last, and how much fun it is buying new, full size cartridges. Which I am hoping will be rarely!

I have use non-OEM cartridges -- No problem.

I have refilled cartridges. A small tool burns a hole in the top of the cartridge and you refill. Then put tape over the hole. Takes less than 5 minutes. Works as good as an OEM cartridge and only a few $.

And this has to do with an RV?

Says it is $19.00 make sure it fits yours

No, they lure you in with the low price of the printer. Nowdays, you should look more at the cost of the toner than the cost of the printer. I remember this from 5 - 8 years ago at work. The IT dept paid for the printers because they were capital equipment. They liked the Dell printers because they were cheap - and because the user departments had to buy the toner cartridges because they were expense items, and very expensive.

I seem to remember that Costco refills some of the cartridges. Give them a call.
