Assuming your doing it yourself.
On the other hand if you purchase good quality factory refills, it should be the same as a new cartridge.Do refilled toners last the same as new ones?
I personally don't like the refilled.
I've had problems with the quality and the quantity more than once! They will replace it free usually, but who wants another after a problem?
If you need to print anything important, keep a spare and replace it as soon as you install the last remaining one.
Seems to always be problems when I need it most!Do refilled toners last the same as new ones?
supposed to last long or longer than new ones but it all depends on how it was refilled and how much it was refilled, if you want you can try to contact these store www.optinex8@yahoo.com they supply a remanufactured toner and it is a good quality
If you buy them refilled from a reliable source, it's ok.
In general, I hear that refills do not last as long. I also hear that some GENERIC toner modules do not last as long.
Some claim that refill and generic toner modules are not good for your printer. Something about the grain of the toner itself, that does not meet the manufacturer's spec.
It would be great if CNET.com or other websites reviewed these sorts of products. After all, what's the sense of reviewing printers, where the REAL cost of a printer is in the lifetime of inkjet or toner modules that you put into it.
STAPLES, for instance, is a big promoter of recycling toner modules, and has their own brand of generic toner modules. I only buy HP for my HP LaserJet, but the savings is pretty tempting.
A friend of mine bought hundreds of BRAND X inkjet cartrides, only to learn that they lasted about half as long as the name brand. But this worked out OK for him, since the discount price was about a third of the regular inkjet cartridges. He used them to print thousands of brochures, and went through dozens of inkjet cartridges. He was also using three computers with three different printers. YES, he spent DAYS printing this stuff.
They can if they are good quality
