I will very shortly be ready to renew one of the toners in my Samsung printer and I've ordered a refill kit from these people..
http://www.refilltoner.com/index.htm

I've purchased the starter kit which is only needed once,after that it becomes even cheaper.At the moment the cost of the starter kit comes to £24.00 with postage which is about £16.00 cheaper than a Samsung refill,it seems that after the initial starter kit there is only the actual toner to buy which is about £3.00 cheaper.
If there are any problems I'll post about it.
If it's all to be believed these people invented the melt and pour system.

just dont drop the new/old toner powder, its a nightmare to clean up after.

We had a cannon engineer drop the waste toner bin from a large colour lazer printer in the office where i was doing a placement for university it took a professional cleaning crew 3 days to get rid of the mess.

Wear some gloves and an anti dust mask and do it in your garage or outside  :goggleeyes:

Ah, toner bomb ... ... ... I remember it well ...  :doh:

Years ago (mid 90s), there was a type of laser that when you refilled it, you placed the cart into the printer tape side down, you then held it down and then pulled the tape off ... honest !  The damn things never held properly, and you were guaranteed to have the damn thing move just as you got half-way across - you can imagine the mess  :-X

Boy, was I happy to be asked which of the lasers we should retire next !!! :claphappy:

Think I'll have to check this site out though; getting close to needing a refill  :thumbsup:

Just a word of warning on this.

I am only able to speak for Lexmark (old printer) and HP (current) printer, I have no experience of Samsung devices, but as the issue happened on both its worth saying.

On both occasions I have tried re-filled cartridges the respective printers really didn't like em.

The Lexmark never produced a quality print again (faded, smudged), no matter how many time I did the clean or re-align cycles.

The HP was worse than that. It steadfastly refused to accept that the "new" black cartridge had any ink in it at all. I bought some "refurbished" WH Smith cartridges as they were about 12 quid cheaper (even after offers) than the new ones.

After a series of pop-ups warning me that I had not bought "official HP products", I could not get a drop of black ink out of the WH Smith product. Took them back and bought official ones (luckily had some vouchers) and printer accepted it without a fuss.

Now this might just be HP being greedy gits, or WH Smith actually selling me an empty cartridge ( :confused1:), but just in case others find issues.
