Have only ever used refilltoner. Good service and prices as far as I could see.

I've just ordered some for my Samsung ML-4500 from https://www.cartridgeco.co.uk - £30+VAT for 3 bottles which is 6 refills.
Seems good value to me.0 -
Just done the first refill - undo 5 screws, fill, tighten 5 screws, put back in printer.
Easy enough and not very messy!
Used about half a bottle of toner, so looks like 6 refills for £35 is realistic - £6 a throw, compared to well over £30 for a new cartridge.

I am clearing out my old laser printers and associated toner. I have one brand new (compatible) HP 95A toner cartridge (for Laserjet II and III and Canon LBP-8II and 8III) and 2 part-used ones. I also have a part-used cartridge for a Brother HL-631 printer.
If you make any reasonable offer for the unused one, I'd happily throw in the others for free - if you think it's worth the marginal extra postage cost.
The Brother one is a small item so the postage wouldn't cost much.
The printers keep jamming, so that's why I'm ditching them - not because of the print quality, which is fine.
If anyone wants the printers (Canon LBP-8II and Canon LBP-8III which are clones of HP Laserjet II and III) and Brother HL-631 or any parts for spares, give me a shout too!
If I don't hear anything within a week (i.e. by Sat 22 Jan) the whole lot will go to the tip.0 -
Hi
Anyone out there refilled a Samsung ML-1710?
It's supposed to be easy but this would be my first time. Can you only refill toner cartridges a certain number of times?
Thanks

Can you refill a Canon EP 27 or if not where is the cheapest place to buy a toner cartridge?

You can refill them with bulk powder maybe twice if you are lucky. The print quality depends not just on the toner powder (and they are NOT all the same- the manufacturers spend mucho dosh developing their kit) but also on the amount of waste toner left lying around and the state of the drum/ fuser. Only by replacing all of the elements when required will the print quality remain A1. Overall the best method of saving £££ is to buy remanufactured or compatible cartridges/ toner. Not bunging in a generic powder with a used drum and full waste tank.0

You could also try https://www.zinetic.co.uk - they stock both do it yourself laser refills and also remanufactured cartridges.
You are also really helping the enviroment by refilling/buying remanufactured as it takes 100's of years for a cartridge to decompose..0 -
