Has anyone any experience of the above company or products? I have long been a user of inkjet compatibles, but now need a replacement laser toner cartridge for a Samsung ML1865W.
The remanufactured ones are £22, compared to £48 for the genuine Samsung article. But not much of a saving if they don't work or mess up the printer.
No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Looks like people have a lot of trouble with remanufactured carts:

    'Not supported' and SUPPLY ID as 'Invalid Toner'.

    Quote below made me laugh - its not about the make you mention but its for your model of Samsung:-


    "You would think that SOMEONE could make a decent aftermarket cart for a low-priced laser printer. These guys haven't. The performance of this cartridge is deplorable. It leaks, it streaks, it wreaks. It came in a nice box, and I can use the box for storing rubber bands and shoe laces. I think I might put my old crayons in the box as well. The box is sturdy, and made from quality cardboard with colorful logos and pictures on it. There is a picture of the World on the box, which you could cut out, and paste on something else that needs a picture of the world on it."
  • As above - There's always a risk when you're buying third party peripherals for anything really.

    I've bought replacement carts from here before and they've worked just fine - other times, not so much :)

    I don't buy them anymore.
    I love adventures. Unfortunately, I don't get to go on them nearly enough. My simple solution? - To indulge in the digital artefacts of the adventures of others. Feel free to indulge in them with me.
