Thanks - I'll have a dig around to see if I can find a suitable laser which will take aftermarket toner then to compare to my other options. As long as it's not too expensive then it doesn't matter if it only lasts a year given that most warranties are only a year (and then hugely expensive...
Thanks for the reply. From what I read, I'd stick with OEM on a laser. I've had decent experience with non-OEM inkjet cartridges so not too worried there. Given our volumes, purchase cost of the printer is relatively insignificant, so even if they don't last a long time it's not a deal...
Thanks. What do they mean then...
e.g. on a Lexmark CS720de
Monthly Duty Cycle 120,000 Pages/Month
Recommended Max Print Volume 15,000 Pages/Month Pages/Month
Is the recommended maximum just because of the size of cartridges and because you'd have to change too frequently?
Interesting point...
Internet ink in the UK seem to offer these. I've not used them but do use this supplier for my MG7550. I've not done much photo printing with that but have done high volumes of business documents in colour using these inks.
I find these duty cycles confusing. On all the lasers we're looking at at the moment, there are monthly duty cycles of say 200,000 but then a recommended maximum per month of 2,500-20,000. Seems to be typical IT and printer industry cr*p. Given I'm a sceptic, I'd always go with the lower set...
