KONICA MINOLTA Laser Printer magicolor Model no. 2400W.

Cartridge colour: Black

Where do I get a cheap but a reliable one from? They are quite expensive in shops. So expensive that I am not sure whether to get a new printer with a few more quids, and get riddence of this one
I have been surfing the net for it, any suggestions of fast delivering genuine companies?

Thanks in advance for help.

I run a £40 Brother printer for everyday document and low quality printing which I can get ink for iro £1 a cartridge from ink.co.uk - Ink, Toner, Cartridges and Refills with our Lowest Price Guarantee!!! . I'm gonna add an A3 photo printer for quality stuff at some point after researching which will give the best compromise of quality/cost.

Just had a look and 'Ink' don't list the 2400W, but do stock for the 2300W. The colour toner cartridges are £37 each I'll stick with my slightly crap Brother inkjet

Turbohot

LOL £37 is cheap! In shops they are over 100 quid. The cheapest I found on line was £80. Anyway, I have emailed Ink.co.uk. Let's see whether they have a cartridge for 2400or not. Thank you very much, corrodoboy

With catridges, I stick the EXACT catridge part number (not printer) into Kelkoo Shopping UK - Online Shopping & Price Comparison and PriceRunner UK - Compare Prices and Find Best Deals Online and see what comes up

99% of the time you will find something that is by far cheaper than whats on the high street. (just remember to factor in delivery costs and VAT if its not immediatly shown).

Think this is teh right part number for the high capcity black: 1710589-004

which gives:

1710589 004 | Compare Prices & Info - Kelkoo

That is the part number, Sharkman

Looks like £55 (inc del) is the cheapest you'll get for a genuine cartridge: Inkjet Cartridges for Less!

I haven't used that company before, so that's the only gamble.

Otherwise its remanufacturered carts or refill kits. Refill kits are cheap, but last time I played with one with our Epson, it was a messy affair ( I sneezed ).

I had refilled Canon Inkjet printer cartridges in past (syringe jobby), and realised that they the refill didn't last as long as the original ones. Refilling laser toner sounds a bit daring TBH, although a much cost effective solution. Therefore, genuine cartridge is the best bet, Sharkman

Shark Man

I think if your ultra careful refils can be ok. Just its seems I'm not. Dropping a load of black dust is at least a bit easier to clean up than ink...

I once refilled a HP cartridge with a syringe. Only for it to run straight out the bottom...by the time I noticed it had covered the leg of my jeans soaking through into the skin, and also dripping on the carpet whilst I was looking at my leg wondering where the big black stain came from.

Did eventually wash out

LOL touching that powdered bit sometimes by accident is a bit of a strange experience I am a great fan of laser technology I won't look back to inkjets/officejets now, these laser printers perform so fantastically with such superb quality, but when I did use Canon inkjet printer, I eventually started to cheat while refilling. I knew that the refill would be chonged so quick anyway, so I started to just inject the needle at the spongy part of the cartridge, rather than opening the top bit of it to do it properly. The job always got done quicker, no messing
