Just bought a Samsung CLP 315 Laser printer which I am going to send back as you cannot refil the ink toners, is there any on the market you can do this with ?

Mono or Colour? I've just got a refill kit for our HP CP3505, it worked fine apart from the Magenta cart for some reason but they refunded without question.

Not ideal but worth a look. Have found in the past it was cheaper buying new HP with full(not half full!) toners (when on offer) than replacing the toners!!

I recommend the Xerox solid ink printers.

They don't use toners just squares of wax you plonk in a hole. No waste and expensive dust left in a plastic box you have to bin.

As such the price per print wipes the floor with laser. There is also a good market for compatible ink.

Check out the Xerox 8560 which is the cheaper of the two units. The 8860 costs half as much again to run, but costs more to buy.

Can highly recommend the Dell 1320c laser. Got mine for abut £120 inc 2 sets of toners. At that price, it is cheaper to throw it away when they run out rather than buy new ones.

It is network connectable, fast, quality is superb. One of the best printers I have ever bought.

Kyocera printers have a decent cost per page. Don't get hung up on the ability to refill - look at the TCO.

Having had more than a few clients make a mess out of their printer by trying to save a few quid by using shoddy remanufactured cartridges, I usually just ask my suppliers to get the cost of the OEM toners as close as possible to the 3rd party price.
