Genuine HP Toners

I have multiple HP printers and I've used only genuine HP toner cartridges since they were first used. While these toners are bit more expensive than most, I've always played it on the safe side and stuck with the brand names to avoid future headaches.

Now one of our managers has gone out and purchased the following:

- Laser CTG HP Laserjet (black and other colors)

It's from Allstate Imaging, who I've never heard of before.

What are your thoughts for using 3rd party toner cartridges?

Is it worth the $$ savings??

Thanks,

Simply put I tried once, just once, and only once. So no I never had success with refilled toner cartridges.

In my experience, you can save a lot of money, but finding a good supplier is the key. You may go through a few bad ones before you find a good one... but it's worth it.

I have one supplier on eBay I use for my Canon Pixma, another for my Epson Workforce, and still another for my HP CP3505n. I don't know about Allstate Imaging, but try it and if it's not good buy from a couple of others until you find a dependable... it'll be big savings in the long run.

Printers and Scanners

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
