Sometimes, things just work. Our little Samsung ML-1210 printer is one of those things. It has been chugging along for quite a few years now. Sadly, laser toner is very expensive. You can actually buy the newer models of the Samsung printer on sale for less than the price of a toner cartridge. Not being one to throw things away, I have avoided buying a new printer. After all, ours works quite well.

When looking for toner this past month, I ended up on Amazon.com. The toner for our printer runs about $90.00. You can find the manufacturer toner cartridges on sale for about $70.00 and you can find compatible toner cartridges for around $50.00. But, I noticed, that you can buy refill kits. I can’t say I had great luck with refilling inkjet cartridges in the past. I was pretty apprehensive, but the $25.00 price tag persuaded me to buy it. Worse case, it didn’t work and I was out $25.00.

The refill kit arrived within a couple of days and has enough toner to refill cartridges 4 times. They recommend that a toner unit not be refilled more than twice. Refilling it was a breeze. The cartridge has a plastic plug, in the end, just pry it out, screw a spout onto one of the toner bottles, pour in the toner, and replace the plug. I noticed, that many people recommended refilling outside and I recommend this as well. I was surprised how quickly the toner came out of the bottle. If you expect it to act like water, then you wont have a problem.

I highly recommend refilling your toner. This company provides a quality product that saves considerable money and as a side effect, you get to keep one more item out of the trash.

You can find them on Amazon or directly one the company web site.
