Where to buy Cheap HP Toner (original retail only)?
« on: July 07, 2011, 03:02:39 PM »
Amazon is cheaper than Quill, and they typically ship overnight, anyone have any better suggestions?

I'm looking for a place that's consistently cheaper than Amazon, usually has everything in stock like Amazon, and ships quickly like Amazon.

Asher0 - before you buy new toner, have you tried giving your toner a good shake? My printer said I needed new toner 2 years ago.  I gave it a shake and it is still working. 

It also helps to put a piece of black tape over the hole on the side.  The sensor says it is empty well before it actually is.
If you don't care why would you comment?

All kinds, we have multiple printers that use different toner cartridges. Right now I'm looking to buy 42A and 27A/27X.

We're a proper company, and with the letters we mail out we go through lots of toners. We use that as a last resort in case we run out of toner, but it doesn't usually make sense to do so. The printer needs to be monitored closely with shaken/taped toners, as it runs out quickly and paper needs to be replaced. Replacing 50-100 preprinted letterhead papers + the time/labor of figuring out which need to be reprinted (because of fades due to low toner), makes it worthwhile to just replace them when necessary.

AsherO I would  go with 42X if your printer supports. I can get you high quality compatibles for very cheap.

I refuse to go with "high-quality" compatibles. These printers are expensive and I'm afraid I'd be ruining them over time. I've been told this by a 3rd party technician who knows these in and out and has no vested interest in which toner I buy.

 I've printed 10,000s of pages biweekly on both HP4015 using compatibles (you can't get OEM MICR ink) and the printers have lasted me 6-7 years.

If it were my printers I'd consider it, let me run it by my boss.

How much of a difference in price is it? Are you selling them yourself or do you just know where to find good non-original ones?

Its around 50% percent price difference. I'm not selling them however I have a friend who gets a percentage for referring. The company that manufactures the toners name is ImageMaster.

50% off retail, or off Quill, or off Amazon?

I'm not looking for the 42x, I don't print so much on the 42a printer.
