Any recs for non-OEM laser printer toner? (Brother hll8260cdw)

[SimpleTim]

Just bought it, works well, and already wondering about new toner carts. As you know, there are a bunch of non-OEM manufacturers, or at least vendors. I'm not interested in maxxing savings, just getting something that doesn't create a leaky mess. Thanks!

My experience has been that they're all terrible. You buy one cartridge and it works, sure, but you buy ten and seven work, two leak toner, and one has a jammed feed gear that destroys your printer.

Brother Toner is usually like 50% msrp if you buy it online, which makes the price difference a lot less worrisome.

(I used to be a school computer tech, and managed like 100-odd laser printers, mostly HP and a few Brother's and Samsungs. We went back and forth on OEM vs. 3rd party toner because of exactly the issues I mentioned above. One year we contracted with an office supply company, and their house brand generics were pretty good/reliable. Innovative Office Solutions, I think it was called. But that was a long time ago and I don't know whose stuff they were relabelling. )

I buy for our plant and for my home, have yet to have a problem on both HP and Brother printers. A member here recommended them a while ago, can't remember who that was.

Thanks very much for the suggestions. I decided to try SunDataSupply, they have a 2 year guarantee and were rated well. Their toner, though, is twice as much as 4inkjets, $35 vs. $19. In any case, both are much better than $125.
