Is Having Toner Cartridges Refilled (worthwhile??)
Thinking of getting my toner cartridge refilled rather than buying a new printer. Is there a good place in Vancouver to have this done?

LOL -- Richmond *is* a scary place to drivekitty wrote: ↑Have you considered buying another cartridge?
I tried a store on West Broadway near Yukon, but they used cheap chips and my 13 page per minute (ppm) printer became a 1ppm printer because the printer detected the fake toner chip and went into a cleaning cycle every time a page was printed.
Now, I use a place in Lansdowne Mall... but only if you dare go to Richmond.

Thanks for your input. A new cartridge for my Brother would cost $89 (the cost of a new machine) so I was thinking of something midway. Btw: I saw some horrid reviews about 123inkcartridges.ca, so backed off on that idea.medalgo wrote: ↑i tried both methods (refilling and buying a new OEM cartridge on ebay/123inkcartridges)
refilling yourself is messier, but costs about 1/2 the price if you do it right. OEM toners for me cost ~$22 and refills ~$10. What I do find though is because of poor technique/impatience some powder gets into the rolling portion (not sure what it's called) and after a couple of times enough of the debris gets on to cause spots on your pages, cleaning it is not possible
so after a couple times doing that I just decided to buy the OEM cartridges, it's still significant savings

What's your brother printer model? I have a brother all in one that almost 4 years old and I have been using ebay cartridges for 3.5 of those 4 years. A set of four cartridges costs me about $10-12virtualblu wrote: ↑Thinking of getting my toner cartridge refilled rather than buying a new printer.

Did you buy an inkjet cartridge or a toner cartridge? If you bought a toner cartridge for a laser printer, I'd be interested to know where on EBay you bought it.Blackmajik wrote: ↑Bought a recycled cartridge off of EBay for almost half of the asking price of a new OEM cartridge and works well. I don't do much printing but of the 30 pages I've done so far, I had no problems.
