any thoughts on this one? for those who have tried? been spending a lot from original manufactured toner. i over heard this generic toner refill kits at the mall yesterday. are these similar to a typical ink and toner for printers?

Having been a Laser printer/toner cartridge tech and business owner in a former life I can tell you that the quality can be as good as OEM but may not last as long. Also, laser printers don't transfer 100% of the toner to paper, some of it is stored in a waste bin inside the cartridge. Once this fills up it will spill onto the paper so this limits how much toner you can refill the cartridge with. In addition, there are other wear and tear items inside the cartridge that may produce overexposure or lines, ghosting, etc. So I don't recommend simply refilling toner cartridges unless the print quality isn't a big deal. They should be properly remanufactured. BTW, there is no 1 single toner for all printers. You need to match a toner to the printer engine. Also, toner is nasty stuff, let the pros handle it. There are thousands of companies who remanufacture cartridges."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

Toner carts are retardedly cheap anyway... Even if you buy knockoffs. I got a set of colour + 2 blacks for my printer for like 100nzd.Comment

Toner is so expensive where I live, so I just replace my printer every time it's empty. It's actually cheaper, and OEM ink is best.'91 E30 316i
