Computer Hardware - Samsung Toner Refill Kits - Redefines Budget Laser Printing

There is so much hype about budget laser printers nowadays. As home office users gripe about the high cost of printing; OEMs have been quick to distribute a line of basic-functioned, speedy and space saving monochrome laser printers that can be acquired for less than $500.

While the pricing and standard features of these laser printer units are attractive; users eventually end up hounded by the hefty cost of its consumables especially for those with heavy print jobs day in and day out. Alas, there is no real budget printer where consumables are concerned, only cheap-priced laser printers per se. Nonetheless, even the most expensive printers around can easily be transformed into a budget laser printer with the use of compatible consumables such as the Samsung ML 2010 toner refill kit.

Compatible consumables have been around for more than a decade now but it was only in the last few years that users have come around to patronize its utility and cost benefits. Given the dedicated investment of third party manufacturers in product research and development has lead to the upgrade of toner refill products from the toner powder up to the refill process. It used to be that pricing was only the major selling point of refill toners. While a 3000 page rated Samsung ML2010D3 toner cartridge can be purchased at $90, a compatible toner refill kit would retail only for less than $10. That's over 80% savings from the price of the OEM toner and 35% off the price of remanufactured toner cartridges.

Today, refill toners have more to offer users than the splendid price cuts as these consumables can easily contend with its OEM rivals in terms of print quality and yield. For practical applications, users won't see any difference between the output of the OEM and refill toner as the latter has been manufactured based on the particle size and composition of the OEM toner. Yield is not an issue as well and users are bound to get the same rating as the OEM cartridge since the toner powder supplied with Samsung toner refill kits comes loaded with the same gram load as the ML2010D3 toner cartridge. Weight likely determines the number of pages that toner can produce.

In terms of replenishment, Samsung toner refill kits are designed user friendly. Out of the box are simple tools that would help the user perform the refill process in a breeze. The bundled instructional material only adds ease to replenishment that the user can in fact complete the refill in just 5 minutes. After sales customer service is also available and that's an additional bonus to users, particularly those who just got into the business of refilling empty toner cartridges.
