Re: Printer toner refill, question said by signmeuptoo:I was given a toner refill for my ML2010 because I helped someone with something. It came from monoprice. I've only printed about 5 pages so far, and they look perfect, but I read some reviews where they say that after a while the pages start to look bad, how long would that take to find out? I would not put too much concern into that, however, if this is an "all in one" toner/drum combo, I would not use refills...but, if it is working for you, and the print looks good, hey, you saved yourself some money!

| I'd just keep printing with my fingers crossed. The problem with refilling toner cartridges is that the other parts continue to wear out and there's nothing you can do about them. I'd say getting a new cartridge might be a good bet when this one starts to have problems.

I'd say getting a new cartridge might be a good bet when this one starts to have problems. ControlP The best way to to it is to buy the $50 or so after rebate laser printers. Refill 2-3 times for $10 each time. I can usually get 1-2k pages on the original toner and then 3k or so on each refill.
Then when it stops working toss it and buy another. |

| Agreed. My problem is that whenever I get close to toner powder, I make a big mess that takes forever to clean up.

| Good idea, but I know I'll come inside covered with the stuff, and it gets everywhere.

| I also have had many problems with refilling my own cartridge or buy remanufactured ones. I always make a mess when pourin the new toner and wheil at first the prints look fine, they degrade quickly. I now only get the company's replacement cartridghes. To save money I buy hte high capacity cartridges, which helps a lot.
