Default toner cartridges - Any good?

In a town near me, is a place that refills cartridges and sells them,
refilled. I like the concept. I've tried the refil kit with the drill bit
and syringe, but it didn't work for me.

I never tried to sharpen a razor blade, but we do buy inkjet ink by the
pint
from Sams Club online.


We even have one of those reservoir thingies with six hoses going to
re-jiggered print cartridges. The reservoirs hold about two ounces of ink
for each of six colors, so the printer never runs out.


I really hate those printer companies that put chips on the ink
cartridges,
to protect the customer from low prices, of course. I hate paying
hundreds
of times too much for the ink. Sell me the damn printer for $1000 instead
of
$50, but let me use ink at the real cost of ink.

I have a samsung laser printer that I picked up for a grad school program
back
in 2003. I've printed perhaps 10,000 pages at a cost of about $50 total,
by
refilling the original toner cartridge and a single replacement toner
cartridge
purchased at the same time. It would have cost me $800 if I'd bought new
toner
cartridges, and would have cost me about $2500 if I'd used inkjet
cartridges.
I can't believe how cheap the printer is to run, mostly because I'm not
paying
the insane prices printer makers would like to charge.



I've consistently received good refill supplies and helpful answers/customer
service from:
