That goes for all printers, The Manufacturers have adopted a very strange policy as to pricing, during a product launch One of the company executive answered to this question saying one has to choose between Hi initial cot and low operational costs Vs low cost entry with Hi operational costs the logic is Low entry cost use then occasionally and would not mind hi operational costs (like personal printer of an MD /GM etc,) on the contrary a hi cost printer is usually part of the operational team and the cost of these toners are generally low.
NONE of the vendors advocate refilling toners / cartridges and warranty is VOID when a problem is found due to such use (personal Experience) The refill business is there to be used at YOUR OWN RISK as every one has to survive in today's competitive WORLD.
