We
need printers for our office or computer related work. The major cost when
using a printer is the cost of the toner cartridge. It is always advisable to
but original toner cartridges as it will save on the life of the printer. There
are a few ways in which you can get good deals on the toner cartridge such as
buying in a multi pack.
How to save cost on the purchase of
toner cartridge
The
HP 126A Toner is compatible with the
HP LaserJet Pro CP1020 Colour Printer series. The printer uses a set of four
toner cartridges, comprising of black, cyan, magenta and yellow. Purchasing a
multi pack of the toners is cost effective and saves you multiple trips to the
store as you would have to if you purchase one at a time or you save on
shipping with only one product to order when you order a multi pack.
Branded or third party – It is always advisable to use
toner cartridges manufactured by the same brand as the printer. HP makes the
printer and the toner cartridge that is meant to go with the printer. Third
party toner cartridges may be slightly cheaper but they are less durable. Printer
cartridges and toners that have been manufactured by the same brand as the
printer are always more durable.
They will be as robust till the last print
when the ink runs out. A good durable toner cartridge would also mean faster
printing than the cheaper third party ones. Most likely a toner cartridge of a
third party is a recycled product and may cause long term damage to your
printer. When you look at the costs that this could incur, it is safer and
better to stick with the original manufacturer.
It is essential to get value for your money where the number of pages
per toner is concerned. When selecting a toner you also need to take into
consideration the kind of quality of prints you need. The HP 126A toner cartridge will
give 1000 pages per toner cartridge. A third party brand would give a lesser
number of pages and a lower quality.
HP 128A toner
If you have high printing demands,
you can get up to 2000 pages of high quality prints from a 128A toner.
Reliability is a criterion that you should check for when selecting a toner
cartridge for your printer. The HP
128A toner has been designed especially for the HP printers.
