What cost savings will you make using refills from TonerTopUp?

We apologise for the fact that we have not updated these 2003 figures. It is a major exercise to do so.

We present figures comparing the cost buying in four ways:

A Refill toner from TonerTopUp.

B New cartridges bought from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM).

C The same bought from a discount supplier.

D Remanufactured or compatible cartridges.

In each case we show the cost saving you will make both in pounds and as a percentage if you switch to TonerTopUp refills.

80 to 90% of all cartridges bought in the UK are made by the OEM. This is a much higher percentage than in the USA or Germany for instance where there is more pressure for both cost and environmental reasons to use remanufactured or refilled cartridges.

Prices are taken off OEM websites at 27th April 2003 and from the current Viking catalogue valid on the same date (or for remanufactured cartridges off the R & R Supplies website). Clearly pricing is a very fluid matter and you may be buying at some different rate. These prices and the calculated savings should be taken as indicative only, providing a snapshot in April 2003 that is hopefully useful but not definitive.

Where only a low capacity cartridge is offered and where appropriate, the price has been scaled up by the rated number of sheets to compare with a high volume cartridge.
