Kyocera TK 65 - toner cartridge

Advantages: Print quality, reliable, easy to use.
Disadvantages: Expensive!

...a local company for around the £65 mark. Generally these toners seem to be priced around £60-£70. This toner cartridge is packed in quite a large cardboard box and is securely packaged with cardboard holders to keep the toner from being shaken whilst in transit. As with all HP toners, the cartridge is sealed in a black plastic bag, which seems to me to closely resemble bin bag material! In Use In terms of use, as with HP toners generally, these quite easy to fit into the printer, (once you have a bit of practice with them). As an IT support person, I get a lot of practice in this area!! Once the toner is removed from its bin bag(!) it is simply a case of removing a plastic strip from the side of the cartridge to make it ready for use, and then placing it in the printer. These toners are the type that slot straight into... 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
