Laser Printer Toner (1 Viewer)

[redruM]

I have a Brother HL-1430 laser printer. The toner has run out (or shall run out very soon).

This is the first time I am going to be buying toner for the printer since I bought the printer, so I was wondering if it is possible to replace the toner "ink"...As was the case with the old bubblejet cartridges. It used to work out much cheaper back then.

The model of the toner I am after is TN-6300, if it helps.

Also, if this is possible, is it a safe thing to do?

Thanks.

edit: I've found out that I can, courtesy of the CArtridgeWorld site. Do people generally replace the entire cartridge or just refill the toner?

Are you sure...? I don't see laser toner refillin service on the website, instead just the availability of remanufactured tonerz. Personally I'm not aware that you can refill a toner, I just buy new onez all the time, and it costz a fair bit since my one iz a colour laser too.

Yes you can refill. There are plenty of kits on ebay or other websites.

Do not go to cartitage world, they are total rip off. I went to get a quote and to refill it practically costs 90% of the new toner. They don't sell kits to do it yourself, they have to take your old one in.

I have never bought from this place, but you can always give it a try:

Just get a new toner. I have two of the exact same printer, and we always just use a new toner. That way you can maintain quality. And besides, its not that expensive - each cartridge lasts a while!

They are awesome.

I bought mine over a year ago, and the original cartridge has lasted me till now. Very convenient and definately worth it.

So far I've only found a price at techbuy...Where do you normally buy them from?

Or you can just buy a new laser printer for $99.
