Many companies offer discounts if you return your old toner cartridge prior to purchasing the replacement. While the savings seem minimal, often times only 10% off the next purchase of toner cartridge, the savings will add up. Rest assured, there are many third party vendors that are very reliable, produce quality toner cartridges, and are around 75% less than the cost of the Brand competitors.
Some potential cons of recycled cartridges:
- Recycled cartridges may void your printers warranty
- Poor or inconsistent printing results
- Increased number of printer errors.
- Fewer documents per cartridge.
