Have you ever wondered why a replacement toner cartridge costs $300 or, sometimes, even more? Have you ever thought, boy, I didn't pay much more than that for the printer in the first place! Have you been online and seen it's possible to buy a cartridge off the Amazon marketplace for as little as 10% of what you have to pay for an OEM cartridge from OfficeDepot or Staples?
