Has anyone used Kyocera or Lexmark laser printers? I was considering buying a laser printer and HP was on the bottom of my list to consider. Thanks to their action I can exclude that option.
1. Have you replaced the toner yet? Does it accept non-brand toners (like the ones from InkStation?)?
2. Does the printer come with a full toner? As it with 100% capacity or does it only come with 20 to 30% like some of the other brands?
3. Being a colour printer, does it work only with the black toner if don't need colour prints?
Thank you!
I haven't replaced the toner yet, Kyocera doesn't recommend to use 3rd party one. I am not sure if I will go with original one as the one from my printer was supposed to be rate for 1200 pages, but the black has 35% ink left after printing 220 "black" pages, and CMY@65% after 350 full color pages.
Supposedly, it could print with only the black toner through a setting, but people online complained they couldn't.
I think I will try the 3rd party toner, it's basically 80CHF per toner, 350CHF to replace the 4 of them, which would be over the cost of the printer itself, but they are rated for 2200 pages vs 1200 for included one.
Finally, I am a bit wary on the long term support from the manufacturer, my printer is not listed anymore on their website, nor their official compatible toner.
