*He uses the OEM toner catridges? Guess we'll have to see what he says. BTW, the cartridge on InkSmiles is new (the only one they have) and costs as much as the Canon OEM and more than from Staples. The other site you mentioned has them (says built from scratch) for less than half this price.

I have not bought a printer cartridge from Dell since we bought it over three years ago. I have been using refurbs/generic from a number of sources. The ones from LD are refurbs. Which means they get used carts. Strip them down and rebuild them. Not just refill. This gives you much

Would be hard to prove it. Secondly with the short warranties on these things you are usually just past the warranty when you change out your first toner. When we got ours I got extended warranty plus ordered a hi yield cart. The first one lasted about 6 mos. The hi yields last about 9-10

Your printer will be obsolete and unsupported by then-current software long before it actually dies. Or they just won't sell toner cartridges for it any more because the market is too small. (for home / home office use) We are getting more and more paperless as time goes bye. At 05:53 PM
