Kyocera TK 17 - toner cartridge

Advantages: quick, cheap
Disadvantages: none really

...with the installation, the website does have a section in it's help pages to assist you with the printer set-up. --Price-- You can buy the FS1010 for about £200. It puts it down at the cheaper end of the Laser printer scale but the cheapness doesn’t hide a lack of quality. --Cartridge Cost-- We can buy our cartridge (TK-17) for £46 from our supplier and according to the manufacturer it will last for about 5,000-6,000 sheets, which works out at an extremely cheap 0.0092p-0.007p per sheet. We use the printer mainly for producing very wordy letters which increases the ink usage and reduces the pages to about 3,000 per cartridge (0.015p per sheet). --Online Support-- Kyocera has a very comprehensive UK-based website which provides a lot of information on each of their products, including where to buy, cartridge costs etc. It has a support helpdesk...

No-one has ever noticed the difference in quality page to page, so I think 600dpi maximum offered on this printer is more than sufficient. Toner/Running Costs As many of you will know, one huge advantage laser printers have over ink jet is not only the speed at which they can print but also their running costs. I’ve found the toner to be generally very economically priced. One toner cartridge is approximately £30 ex VAT... Read review

Advantages: Ease of use, reliability, print quality
Disadvantages: Quite expensive

...This toner is designed for use with the HP Laserjet 1100 series printers. We have a number of these printers at the company I work for and so make use of these toners quite a lot. The toner is quoted as having a page life of 2,500 pages and retails at a price of around £40. The cartridge comes packaged in a large box with the toner type clearly labelled on the front, which is handy. The toner is secured within the box by two large cardboard holders and comes in package that closely resembles bin bag material! In Use This toner cartridge has been sensibly designed so as to make it a fairly easy process when removing an old toner and replacing with a new one. The toner itself slots into the printer, and so this means the old toner just needs to be removed from the holding slots in the toner bay and the new one put in its place... Read review
