Just compare cartridge price/printer price for ink and you'll see that in 2 years you spent more on cartridges > I'm only asking if anybody else has tried these refillables.

Alternative could be dot matrix printer (it is a bit noisy), higher price, but low material cost. I bought one in 1996 and it is still working. I bought HP 5L LJ in 1999 and I threw it away last year - it was not worth repearing. I bought two cartridges for €70,- each - makes 7€ per year for the cartridge. Just calculate total cost + material cost per intended period of use. You'll notice that prices have gone high in the past year, but most people can not calculate any way. I now bought a HP 402dn which prints 40 times faster than the 5L and cost 200,-. The cartridge would cost 100,- in 5-10y, so I guess I will have avg. cost of 30,- per year - this is definitely not much. There are also cheaper LJ printers, but I like HP and can write it off anyway. If you don't have money - earn money and buy something good instead a cheap sh*t that will give you headache - or just leave it. regards --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
