Question : What's the story with color toner refills?
Are all bulk toners essentially compatible with the same printer? I have a Dell 3100cn, and am finding that the DIY refill kits are nearly as expensive as the factory cartridges. However, will other bulk toner refills still work with my model? Do all printers use a different formula/mixture for the toner??I'd really like to find another source for color toner and save some $$$...

Answer #1
Unless it says specifically not to use it then yes. I've used bulk toners with
my old printer, you won't get the quality and you DO risk your machine but as
most these days often have the heads as a buyable thing (ie if your printer
cartriges come in expensive or not expensive models - one the cartrige the other
the cartrige with the heads as well) then it's probably okay.Your best bet is
asking the manufacturer but they'll tend to tell you to use their own ink (of
course they would they make money outa their inks). If you're printing
assignments n junk go for it, why waste money?

go back to hp, or othre mfgr. dell is too strict . . . and you can find off
brands/remanufactured toners pretty cheap for other mfgr's faster.
