Toner Refill kits, ideal for your laser printer, fax and copier toner refilling needs

Cutting costs is just a normal part of any business practice and it's also a practice we follow with our personal purchases as well. Everyone loves to save money! However, one of the most often over looked places for cost savings is with our day to day expenditures on printer consumables. An example of this is the case of laser printer toner cartridges as well as fax and copier toner cartridges. Many owners of laser printers, faxes and copiers may not realize there are options available when replacing their toner cartridge. One economically viable solution is to use a toner refill kit. Using a toner refill kit could save you hundreds of dollars a year depending on how heavy your toner use is.

In tandem with the evolutionary progress of inkjet printers, the inkjet paper industry has also witnessed considerable research and development activities. The goal was clearly defined. Inkjet paper should be cheap, plain and glossy enough to produce high quality textual, graphical and photographic printouts. This kind of inkjet paper was developed by application of a primer agent on the paper that is capable of binding the pigment onto the paper thereby producing bright quality color prints.

A history of toner refill kits

The first popular desktop laser printer was introduced in 1984 and at that time laser printing costs were very high. Laser printer owners began looking for more cost effective solutions to replacing the toner used by their laser printers. Rather than replacing their laser toner cartridge each time it was empty the idea of refilling the cartridge with new toner seemed more practical and cost effective. The initial methodology of refilling was coined as the “drill and fill” approach. A hole was drilled into the empty laser cartridge and toner was then poured through the drilled hole. The hole in the cartridge body was then sealed with tape and the cartridge would be ready for use again. However the drawback of this particular method was that debris from the drilling operation, would find it's way inside the toner cartridge and cause printing problems.

Adding to the difficulties was the fact that the quality of toner wasn't always comparable to that of the original toner. These and other shortcomings paved the way for toner refill kits and better techniques evolved as toner refill kits grew in popularity.

Cost saving potential of toner refill kits can be huge!

There is a huge potential for cost savings to be had by using a quality toner refill kit. For instance, a high yield cartridge for a popular laser printer brand costs about $94, whereas a good quality toner refill kit for the same printer costs about $25. Toner refill kits with “made on site” toner formula ensures 100% compatibility with your printer. In addition a laser toner cartridge can be refilled 2-4 times on average (sometimes even more) with a toner refill kit, which translates to savings of about 75% or more versus purchasing new laser toner cartridges when a replacement is needed.

You at least owe it to yourself to explore the cost advantages that can be obtained by purchasing a toner refill kit tailored for your specific laser printer, fax or copier. After all, you have really nothing to lose and everything to gain!
