After 7 years of chewing up cheap ass Chinese ink cartridges, our HP printer has finally died and even vomited a cracked plastic gear in the process. So it was time for a new printer. If you're on the hunt for a new printer, maybe this will help. First check your favourite all purpose Chinese version of amazon ( yes, I'm talking about stuff like aliexpress and dhgate ) and check out what ink cartridges/laser toners are the most reliable and affordable. At the page of any seller you'll see a list of printers the cartridge/toner is suitable for. Use this info in order to eventually buy the printer that will happily nibble on those cheap cartridges. Will there be a difference with the originals? Yes off course. But unless you're counterfeiting university diploma's or money, you will be fine. I hope this helps some Frugal person out there!
