RE: Replacement toner? New printer + same toner = cheaper
My family hasn't run OEM ink or toner in a printer for the last 5 years or so. The price of the name brand ink and toners is ridiculous. We run canon and brother printers and multifunctions that do not require chipped ink cartridges or toners.
For example, The printer my girlfriend is using right now is a Brother MFC-240C, (highly recommended by me BTW.) If were were to buy the ink cartridges at Staples, it would cost approximately $87 not counting taxes or shipping. For us to buy off brands from our favorite supplier, it only costs about $18, and we buy enough at one time to qualify for free shipping.
We don't print photos, but the ink is great for what we do with it.
Considering we paid $100 for the printer (on sale). Paying $87 for 4 cartridges is hard to swallow.
