that has been my feeling as well. But I have a Okidata Color Laser. Remanufactured = 85 for all four toners ... Manufacturer = 250 It is crazy expensive but I love this printer. It never fails, never gives me any problems, 256megs of RAM Duplex Network. I guess I will wait and think about it. All remanufactured toners damage fusers?

I am placing a order with monoprice and happened to notice that they sell their own remanufactured toner. I have a color laser that is going to need to replace toner sometime in the next 9 -18 months so I am thinking of ordering a set.. the price, as always at monoprice, is very good. A Google search shows the shelf life at around 2 years but it can much longer. Anybody have much real world experience with storing toner... how long is the shelf life?

I wouldn't purchase remanufactured toner unless the savings is more than the cost of a fuser for the machine, since it'll damage the fuser. With manufacturer toner, I had boxes on the shelf for two years and used it with no problems, but given the speed at which you can get toner now, I'm not sure I'd bother doing it again. When you get the toner low warning you usually have a couple of hundred copies left, so just order it at that point.
