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

[Will Loving]

We have an HP M2727nf business grade laser printer/scanner/fax. Years ago I
had terrible problems with non-OEM cartridges in both printers and copy
machines and so have avoided them since including the first couple of toner
cartridges for our HP machine. However, with the genuine HP 7553X (high
capacity) cartridges costing over $130 each, we decided to try the highest
user-rated non-HP cartridges we could find on Amazon. The ones we bought
from TonerPals for a bit over $20 each have worked well so far...
