I bought a £700 colour laserjet earlier on in the year. I now need to think about buying some additional cartridges.

Is there much/any benefit to sticking with the manufacturers refills?

HP want 566.28 for the various supplies but I've found I can get them for 363.28 elsewhere.

I'd appreciate thoughts.

Thanks

I've never btought gen HP supply's I think they are well over priced and the copies I have used have always been fine. It got so expensive with some of our colour toners that I used refill kits from these people.

I'd definately go for remanufactured toners. HP only fill the OEM toners to a max of 75% of capacity. A remanufactured one will be totally full.

I can sort out some quotes for you if you want.

Just bought non HP consumables approx half price, and they are absolutely sh*t. False economy as I have had to go back and buy the proper stuff. I'm sure their are some non OEM cartridges that stack up, but I have found it very hit and miss

I've used these many a time too.

It can get a bit messy refilling if you're not careful but you'll soon master it. You get complete instructions and all you need with their starter kits for a first buy, then just buy the refills.

It's much cheaper and I've not noticed any loss in quality.
