Refilled
toner cartridges help sell stockbroker belt homes
Catling & Co are estate agents
who specialise in selling high value homes in the stockbroker
belt of Surrey from their office in Claygate. It is a market where
presentation quality is of vital importance to their clients.
They choose to print their colour sales brochures
in-house on their A3 format Konica Minolta Magicolor 330 laser
printer and new Magicolor 2300. There are good and economical
outside printing facilities available to them and the decision
to print in-house is based on being able to get both excellent
quality and substantial savings. They use a lot of toner and so
their toner supplies must be of high quality and of good value
for in-house printing to make sense.
“We find both cartridge types easy
to refill with toner from TonerTopUp,” says Richard Catlin.
“There was a little learning curve, mainly in ensuring that
the built-in filler plug is not damaged in removing it from the
cartridge. We soon got the knack of it! We also soon learnt that
using cold water to wash our hands stopped them turning an interesting
colour from hot water fusing traces of toner onto them!”
“I haven’t done a cost comparison for some time but
of the three options new Minolta cartridges are about twice the
cost of remanufactured ones and refilling with TonerTopUp (www.TonerTopUp.co.uk)
toner is about half the cost of those. So refill toner is costing
us about 25% of the original cartridge cost. We get around half
a dozen refills from a cartridge before we junk it and I keep my
eyes open on eBay for cheap originals to replenish our stock. Overall
we save a lot of money and it is well worth doing our own printing.”
