We purchase ours from the same company that services our copiers and
printers. They are recycled and carry the brand name of Marathon.
I think they are recycled by a company by the name of Intec & Company. We
have never had any trouble with any of them but I have never run a page
count either.

Started by an ex-alcoholic. Made national news about 5-7 years ago for
being a great success company. The owner felt VERY strongly about hiring
other recovering folks to work there.
My bleeding liberal heart bought into it ... yeah, I know ...
First 6 ran great - NO hassles - same page counts as HP-OEM. Yes, I'm anal
enough to keep track of the page counts of EVERY toner I install in my
printers. Ok, so I'm a bit odd ...
Second 6 cartridges ... first 4 died at about 1/2 of standard page count ...
the other two I had to pull because they squeaked LOUDLY ....
Called my sales rep and asked him what was going on .... Oh my GOD was he
sorry to hear about my problems. Seems they had a new foreman on the floor
who was doing lite loads to save money.
Yah sure ...
I wouldn't buy from these folks if my job depended on it.

Once again a salesman is trying to push off brand toners on the staff.
Promising cheap prices, etc, etc. At a previous place of employment 6+
years ago I had one blow up in a printer and cause a real mess. Last time
this company ordered them we went through them twice as fast as an HP toner.
Or the more likely scenario, we would install them and they would be "out of
toner" and we would have to pitch them. We ended up tossing them all.
This salesman is telling our staff that it is illegal for HP to void our
warranty if we use an off brand toner. Of course they send along their
warranty of promise of repair if we can prove it was their toner that caused
a problem in a printer. (Don't even get me started on that.)
Has anyone had any luck with this company or any words of wisdom that I can
bring back to the discussion? Of course there is a significant "immediate"
cost savings by ordering the off brand toner so on paper it looks like a
good idea....
