Thanks, Duncan. I just wondered as I've used 3rd party toners in my HP 1012 for a long time and they have worked very well. Thanks for the info.

I mix it up and do whatever "quality control" I say I do and then feed it back into your toner cart. or, pack it into my own "brand" toner cart........... :) Refill toner - Your toner cart. is running dry? No problemo! Let me refill it with this "just as good" stuff. (same stuff as above!) UNLESS, The REFILL is being done by the OEM. Like same as retail!!!! In both cases the retail buyer saves some money. But, many printer mfgs. state that the use of Reman and Refill toners void the mfg warranties. If your printer is OutOfWarranty then not a problem (until the fuser fails). If IN warranty, it is your gamble. JMHO.
