Should I use Genuine or Compatible Toner for my HP Laserjet

TMartin67 · Guest

I have been using genuine HP toner for my HP LaserJet 1020. I print alot so this is getting very costly...

I recently purchased a compatible HP Q2612A Toner from The Supplies Group - http://www.inkfilling.com/q2612a - and I get more pages printed at a 30% price discount.

Does anyone know if there are any bad things about compatibles that are covered under a warranty?

Thanks!

Hello,

It is against the law (the Sherman and Clayton Anti-Trust Acts, to be specific) to tie the purchase or use of a particular supply to the warranty.

Think about it: Let's say your printer has a defective power supply. How in the world could the manufacturer refuse to fulfill their obligation and fix
their defective component (assuming the printer was still under warranty to begin with) just because you are buying a different brand of toner (or paper, paper trays, memory, etc.)? They can't!

I have been using refilled and compatible cartridges for long and never had problem. I usually use inkman for my cartridges. Recently I got my hp ink from : inkman.com.au/category/hp-ink-toner-printer-cartridge
and am very satisfied.

I think it depends upon your needs. If you need simple document printing or other usual stuff you can use compatible ink cartridges but for professional photographic needs you would like to have originals.
