My printer is an older Brother mono laser jet.
It has some good functions like duplex and and scanning, but only single page scanning.
I’ve just changed the toner for the first time after 700 pages, and it doesn’t like my remanufactured cartridge. Thanks Brother.
After some restarting and screaming at my printer it started to print, but complains the toner needs replacing every time.
I’ve ordered another toner, just in case, but who makes good quality, ADF, colour laser jet printers that don’t cost an absolute fortune to replace?
One that’s happy with a refilled toner.
Definitely agree. Most printers are sold at a loss with the plan to milk the buyer long term through ink and other services. EcoTank printers are more expensive, but Epson makes their money at the time of purchase. The ink is extremely cheap, and there’s no way for them to tell if you use 3rd party ink at all. We’ve been printing out textbooks with ours, which would be financially disastrous with a traditional inkjet printer.
Overall I’ve bought two, one for home and one for the office at work. The cheaper ink has paid for the printers several times over now.
I was curious about the ecotank machines for the cheap ink, I will do more research.
