[Hidden-tech] New vs. recycled toner cartridges?

[Bruce Hooke]

I wish I could give a positive report but the last remanufactured cartridge
I got (a few months ago) was bad so I returned it and got an HP cartridge.

Hi,

I need to replace the toner cartridge in my laser printer soon. For a while
now, I've been buying the brand name cartridges, because I had problems with
recycled cartridges in the past (the gears skipped, and it may have done
damage to a previous printer)

But now, it's been years since buying recycled and I'd like to consider it
again. I would like feedback from folks as to whether the quality is better
on recycled these days. The lesser impact on the environment is in alignment
with my values, and the lower price is an incentive, too.

My printer is a Brother HL-2040 (and I adore it!), the cartridge is the TN
350, and the prices I've gotten so far are:
Ink & Toner Solutions (Northampton) recycled toner cartridge: $45.99
Staples: new, $65.49  (free shipping)
($19.50 difference)

If recycled is recommended, I'd love to hear thoughts on Ink and Toner
Solutions and/or any one else you buy from.

Thanks,
Deb
