where do you buy your printer cartridges from?

Hi,
We have 3 laser printers, and buying printer cartridges & drums is becoming abit of a headache.

Currently, I buy remanufactured ones off ebay.
I've had a few duffs over the years, but generally they seem to work.
Having said that, I've not been properly monitoring their performance and yield.

Buying off ebay is ok, but it's a hassle as I have to do it myself so I'm now looking for a company to supply all my toner at a decent price, competitive-ish with ebay.

Can anyone recommend someone?

printerland.co.uk but generally search for the lowest price online.

Likewise, our OKI's are supplied by printerland as they are cheapest, our HP's come from who ever does a bulk pack of high yield toners cheapest!!!

Out other printers are specialist and so have special suppliers. I only ever use genuine drums, ink and toner in our printers as quality and reliability is foremost as we are a print company.

Good to see some links on here. I used to get the no-brand replacements but I find them to be dubious in the quality stakes. Lexmark officials only now, usually from eBay.

People think all compatible (not OEM branded) cartridges are all the same , but theyre not, some are much better quality than others, and its the cheap rubbish that give compatibles a bad name.

What do you think you are getting for a £13.50 toner cartridge delivered to your door? An empty cartridge, filled with toner and thats it, no new parts no nothing. Anyway I'm not getting into the argument, you get what you pay for!

I'm happy to quote anyone who needs pricing, but I won't compete with eBay, because the products I sell are of a much higher quality.

Crazy toners is a good website run buy a guy i know, and he's a top bloke, although he only sells original products not compatibles.

O late to respond, as I have been away. We are the largest suppliers to Schools in Yorkshire.

As fix has already mentioned, Ebayer are not quality driven, but price driven. We pride ourselves in quality item with best service. Thats why we service so many Schools.

We dont get involved in the price wars with ebayers. Not worth the hassle as the loyalty will only last for that customer for that order and price only.

I was planning on buying ink for a canon pixma 600 this evening. I usually buy from stinky ink, if any one wants to PM a price I'll put it off for a day or so. Colour and black

If you are looking for cheap and reliable printing inks,toners and drums i would recomend a company called practice supplies.
i have known them for a about two years now and you can see why they are the favourite to larger companies such as the NHS and schools and are very competetive for the single businesses such as my own.

i would recomend calling 08450500624 and speaking to an individual called steven as he will offer you a very competetive price and in most cases will beat prices you have already been quoted on.

(also very good for the odd free gift such as ipods etc.)
