I'm trying to locate someone who either purchases or refills empty toner cartridges for the Apple LaserWriter. Rumor has it that such a person exists. If you know anything about this, I'd like to hear from you. Also, if you have any first-hand experience with using second-hand cartridges, I'd like to get your opinion on readability and reliability of the cartridges. Thanks in advance.

One of their newest projects is refilling laser toner cartridges for the Cannon engine (used in Apple LaserWriter) give them a call. as to the durability and reliability of refilled cartridges, that I do not know but we'd appreciate hearing about your experience if you do use a refilled cartridge. Let us know on this BBS, will you?? [[Editor's note: The durability of refilled cartridges is something we have discussed in great length in the past. My recollection of what was said then was that they seem to work but they are not necessarily up to 100% of the new ones. I would suggest that you send any comments you might have directly to the author of this message and ask him to please post a summary to the list if he learns anything interesting. --Rick ]]

I've had one cartridge refilled (actually that's not quite true, the cart sent to me isn't the same one as the one I sent them), and I've been quite happy with it. The company that did the refill runs a test print off of the cart and sends it to you. The cart is overfilled by about 10%, meaning that there's 10% more toner in it. Print quality is good; not as good as a new, broken-in cart, but good. I use it for everything but final copy for printing (I even use it for letters). The company is Michlin Computer Consultants, and their # is 313-747-0840. I don't have their address handy... Pat Wood
