Have a look at how many pages the new toner cartridge will do in relation to a new printer. Most new printers are shipped with limited ink.

My wife brought some toner powder off e-bay for our cheapo samsung. Works perfectly well & 3 bottles were about £10 (1 bottle per refill). Filling takes a couple of minutes max & is not messy if careful

New printers both inkjet and laser have cartridges/toners that are often less than half full.

Gram for gram, isn't printer ink the more expensive than gold?
