| 477348 | 2006-08-09 07:27:00 | My wife's work recently purchased a HP Color LaserJet 1600 Printer, predictably toner cartridges last just a few weeks (printing too many photos), and the the toner has run out. There dosnt seem to be an Economy Mode available to extend the life of Toner, can anybody think of a work around apart from the obvious? Thanks..........John in Mosgiel. |

| 477350 | 2006-08-09 09:27:00 | This is the catch with most printers. This site, while not the cheapest for ink and toners, is handy as you can check the number of pages you can expect to get from the cartridge. www.consumables.co.nz I have just bought a new printer and spent quite some time looking at different models and going here to check on number of pages. Found one eventually that was a reasonable price, got good print reviews and will do between 1000 - 1400 pages per cartridge. This applies to both lasers and inkjets. Do your homework first. |

The same can be said for both inkjet and laser printers, however laser printers are generally much cheaper 'per page' in the long run . I know my HP5550 inkjet had an economy setting and you could also adjust the amount of ink on the page . . . just as well because it went through cartridges like water :dogeye: Haven't checked my Minolta laser, but then I've had it 6 months and it is nowhere near empty on the toner (same use with inkjet and I'd be through 2 lots of ink by now) . |
