Today, more and more printer users are opting for lesser priced third party printer ink consumables. One such popular consumable is the toner cartridge refill  kit. A toner refill kit is essentially a laser printer consumable. These kits are produced by third party manufacturers. These kits are designed in such a fashion that they extend the life span of discarded toner cartridges by refilling ink in its empty toner chamber. This helps to avail the used toner cartridges for another printing cycle.

When compared to compatible and recycled toner cartridges these refill kits are different in form and their functionality. The toner refill kits are basically a “do-it-yourself” product but then one has the option of taking it to the ink supply store and getting it filled there. Instead of ready to load cartridge units, the kits are equipped with tools and materials needed for cartridge refilling. These toner refill kits usually contain a bottle of toner powder, toner wipes, a funnel cap, latex gloves, a detailed instruction manual and even a reset chip if there is a requirement. The given refilling instructions are easy to follow and with instructions backed up by images, the refilling process becomes even easier for the user. The whole refilling process can be completed within 5 to 10 minutes.

Performance wise toner refill kits match the standard of OEM toner cartridges as well as other printer consumables. This is due to the fine quality of toner powder provided by the third party manufacturers.  Also, taking into consideration the package contents, the toner refill kits are possibly the cheapest laser printer consumable in the market. Most refill kits are generally cheaper by 40% to 80% than compatible, recycled and OEM toner cartridges.

With the increasing printing requirements of printer users, the availability of cost-effective top quality toner refill kits is certainly a boon.
