Re: toners not available from konica minolta what is everyone doing?

You make valid points, I do realize margins are thin but volumes can be high. It is a highly competitive market space and products have matured quite a bit. How much more advancement can there be other than reducing printing costs and robotizing labor/service? I am waiting for robots to start printing paper and save the need for paper feeders/rollers/trays/finishers/etc.

Ok so I have confirmed the Lexmark/Konica Minolta equivalent models use the same toner.

Simply swap the end caps over job done.

Lexmark have ample supply.

This may work only on a few low end A4 models.

Re: toners not available from konica minolta what is everyone doing?

I usually love using aftermarket toners in applications where it will work. Has anyone had any experience with C6100 toners? We are not on any service contract so I don't NEED to buy OEM. I prefer saving $100+/toner where possible if it will not mess up printer. Aliexpress is having a sale $50/toner. Normally I think the TN-622 runs $200.
