Choosing the best laser toner

In contrast to inkjet owners, most laser printer users buy branded toner because the third-party choice is more limited.

While the big names tend to dominate the toner market, you can find compatible and remanufactured toner cartridges – sometimes at a fraction of the price of original alternatives.

And if you're worried about having problems with third-party toner, in our survey 27 out of 31 people never experienced any issues at all with the best-rated compatible toner supplier.

Even if there were an issue, the company offers a money-back guarantee on all cartridges it sells. It also has a lifetime printer guarantee for its own-brand cartridges. If anything goes wrong, it'll cover the cost of repairing your printer, and replace it if need be.
