Anyone know how to get cheap refills or cartridges?
So I have a CLX-317 Samsung colour laser jet printer. I figured it would be the best bet for cheap long lasting cartridges. So far the black cartridge is lasting a month or so (colour about 2 to 3 times that long). I do about 700 copies a month for work. I was told they should last at least 1000. They cost 70,000 a cartridge. It cost me more to buy a set of cartridges than it did to buy the bloody printer.
Bloody highway robbery. It's cheaper to have my stuff professionally copied and bound than it is to copy at home. |

| I don't know about your particular cartridge. I refill mine. It costs me 7,000 won for black. It is 12,000 won for both color and black. |

| You need to get one of these babies. In over 2 years of owning this I've spent 5,000 won on ink. And I print in color all the time. |

My print head is still not perfect. It has improved slightly, but with the newer HP printers, the heads are all internal. Switching out cartridges doesn't give you a new print head. So if it's damaged, you're out an entire printer. My print head may have been damaged when I had a paper jam and pulled the paper out. That or it's just clogged and not clean yet (tried deep cleaning 20 times).
My next purchase will be another laser printer. Those keep lasting for years, and refills are easy to find (although the color one the OP has may require more pricey laser toner). |
