Printer Toner Cartridges?

  I use them in my FujiXerox laser and they are fine. Cannot notice any difference to the originals.

  I bought mine off ebay from Magic_pro123

  I have nothing to do with that seller for clarity, I am just a happy customer of theirs.

    Thanks, they have toner for my Brother HL-4150CDN cheaper than I'd priced elsewhere. I'll give them a go when I need to stock up.

  I have a 13 year old Brother laser printer (HL-1250) that I am still using and have gone through quite a few TN-6600's (rated at 6000 pages). I have bought both the genuine Brother cartridge and compatible ones. Compatible ones are usually half the price of the genuine Brother cartridge.

  I do find the genuine ones are generally better, and last longer as well. I have one or two "compatible" ones died on me half way through their expected life. Mechanical fail not just running out of ink.

  anyway. YMMV.

  This might be helpful to you but I also have a Brother printer (don't think it's laser but it prints..). Buying the genuine ink from Officeworks kills me a bit inside every time!! Until recently my dad found ink at a news agency (Tatts or whatever it's called) and they're $3.95!! I swear there seems to be no difference from my eyes. I have been getting my ink there ever since, I've been to a few news agencies around my area and they all have it so maybe they're every where? Sorry if this doesn't help.

  I have the brother mono laser printer.

  I bought one of the cheap inks from ebay, because I got sick of paying $70 to refill it.

  At first it was no different, but it has gotten a bit grainy after 6 months, and gets a bit of a tiny blob here and there. Still quite usable, as long as you aren't printing something that needs to be perfect. I mainly use it for lecture notes and such.

    a lot of china carts are refilled old toners so its luck of the draw - this can be an issue with the drum/conductor is a part of the toner car

    but hey… <$20 beats $70 any day

    for most household purposes the slight lack of quality is fine
