Non OEM toner replacements

I am on my third company in one years time, it is hit and miss with the non OEM units some are great and some are horrible from the start. All the companies are great and will replace the defective units it is a time thing with me. I had to send back 4 units and a shipment got lost in UPS system so I bought two OEM units and if it was not for the cost $90/ each I would use them all the time.

One company had a 30% defective rate, the price for non OEM has gone up still cheaper then OEM 3:1 ratio on cost.

Anyone find a solid company with free shipping and hardly and defective units. I order 10/month

Have you checked Amazon? When you type in what you are looking for it usually brings up companies that sell that product then you can research each one for the best quality/price.

I have an HP LaserJet Pro 500 that takes 507a toner and its about 129.00 each on a cheap day. OUCH. But it runs like 5500 copies. its about 25 loan packages IF that was all I did( I think) although been taking me a while to get to 25 these days. Been 2 months and only at 18. Oh well.

Wow you go through 10 a month? . I use high yield non brother from ldproducts, rated at 7500 pages, never had a problem. I'm surprised your printer is still printing, actually I'm surprised you even have time to post! How many drums are you going through?

I was thinking the same thing.....

10 toners a month is awesome then. Good job on getting all the jobs. Yeah. Like I said I try not to rely heavily on doing loans right now. I do a lot of printing for attorneys and their clients trusts etc. to bring to the signing appt. That's a lot of paper itself. I love my laser jet printer though.

All in one unit, no drum needed.

Its the drum in the unit that causes most of the issues (scratched or defective)

Each non OEM drum goes about six loans safely

after that they go south or I pull them as a backup in case I run out or low.

OEM toner is only good for 2100 pages Non OEM some less

Depends on ink they use in them.

You don't mention the companies that you have ordered from. I use suppliesoutlet.com & supermediastore.com and I've never had a problem.

You're in the right place. Check "RESOURCES" tab above

They're thru LD. I've been ordering from LD Products for years with no problems. There was a period a year or so ago when things got bad & a lot of people were complaining. I took heed and ordered someplace else (Monoprice) and that was a total disaster so I returned to LD Products and just got cartridges within the past couple weeks and am still a happy camper. I have HP printers.

I used LD Products for years, but now use SuperMediaStore.

They offer both OEM & remanufactured toner & drums at great prices.
I did have some QC issues with LD, even though they always replaced anything defective.
I'm curious on what printer you're using that goes through so many carts.
I have a Brother HL-5240, and toner lasts a mo. or two & drums every 6 mo. or so.
You're obviously using HP or one of the brands that have everything in the toner cart.

Yes it is HP product 1536dnf

Only down fall of this machine is toner size, 3rd HP machine in 12 years will always stick with HP printers and all in one systems.

Yikes--that machine uses an HP-78A cart or equiv. &

those are rated at only 2100 yield. I can see why you go through so many carts. That's a high-maintenance machine!

Re: Yikes--that machine uses an HP-78A cart or equiv. &

Yes it is, if I were to buy OEM it would run me 700-900/month in toner cart. Only down side of this printer, but it is fast and perfect for the office.

Only had one problem in about 10 years with them I use Lexmark T644 printer and get about 22,000 pages out of a cartridge. I consistently get over 21,000 pages per cartrige, it's the least expensive way to print.
