The middle of the week last week my grandson had a cartridge filled and so much printing has been done in the past week the cartridge needed ink again so once again he got it filled. There have been thousands of pages. Correction ..... the price was $12.99 plus tax so $14.68. This is a larger cartridge than my friend's. The down side is it takes approximately 45 minutes to fill the cartridge so drop it off before browsing the warehouse. Take care, Pat Edited by goldengal, Mar 2 2017, 10:50 AM.

I would not dare to vacuum up toner with it, so I must settle for brush clean. So then wildie, you are on the side of DISCARDING waste toner rather than REUSING it?

The instructions were specific that toners, old and new should not be mixed. I figured that if the new was contaminated, that it might clog up the jets. If this happened I'd be looking at dropping another $70 at Staples.

A dried out ink cartridge should be left overnight business end down in a saucer of water. It often revives. Wildie, if that cartridge refill works out, please let me know the link. The family artists do a lot of colour printing. I have been buying online, usually genuine HP toner cartridges because the colour wasn't satisfactory on generic ones. I do have a set from a new source ready to try. Delphi, I tried to connect to the Hong Kong site and I can't connect. I found this site https://www.inkowl.com/ and the prices are more than I paid in Hong Kong but better than Staples.

Prices are good for toner refill kits. <I also found out that a proper refill is 90 grams... good to know.> Edited by Trotsky, Mar 5 2017, 03:13 AM.

Big City Boy Posts: 38,319 Group: Member Member #79 Joined: September 8, 2005	I just put in an original OEM Samsung Cartridge and was startled to see black blacks. Last cartridge was a knock off by Innovera and it got 395 pages before becoming so light as to be near unreadable. It is SUPPOSED to get 3000 pages.

Have yet to load it as I want to run it empty first!
