CM1415fnw

Hello, I'm looking for some toner cartridges for my CM1415fnw printer. Money is a little tight since I have lots of moving expenses coming up. I realize that using a non-OEM Toner cartridge will likely VOID my printer warranty. However, I'm pretty sure my printer is long out of warranty since I've owned this fantastic all in one printer for 8 or 9 years!!

 

The last time I replaced the toners I bought non-OEM cartridges through Monoprice. They worked great! They don't seem to carry them anymore so I'm looking at various cartridges on ebay. 

 

Can anyone advise me of good non-OEM cartridges I could use?

I have one new black OEM toner so I plan on using that genuine HP black cartridge. 

 

Here's some of them I'm looking at on ebay. Thanks for any ideas or suggestions!

Most the differences appear to be the Page Yield. All of them mention 5% coverage but I'm not exactly sure what that means?

 

$69.20 

4pk CE320A Color Toner for HP 128A LaserJet Pro CM1415FNW CP1525NW MFP Printer 

This one mentions they are certified with ISO9001 and ISO14001. Not sure what that means?  They also list a 1 year warranty 

 

$33.95

Set of 4 PK CE320A 128A Laser Toner For Color HP LaserJet Pro CM1415FNW CP1525NW 

 

$39.76

Set of 4 PK CE320A - 23A 128A Color Toner For HP LaserJet Pro CM1415FNW CP1525NW 

 

Not sure if the most expensive one would be the best? I don't want to screw up my printer but these sellers seem to have pretty good feedback overall.

I work for a HP Partner that sells some outsourced color and the following are the best suggestions I can give you:

 

1. It is all about support. At some point you will have a leak with a cartridge (much  more often with 3rd party) and how the vendor deal with it is what makes or breaks the price savings. If you wind up having to pay a tech 100 to clean the printer after a spill your savings can be erased pretty quick.

2. Be cautious about the trust you place in online reviews. Vendors cajole and work to suppress bad reviews and that can happen regardless of the forum. Even on Amazon, where one vendor told Amazon that my wife was a competitor and they removed her negative review without following up. Buyer Beware. 

3. Time in business is probably the best indicator of who is doing a good job because in this business the bad people change companies names on a regular business to stay ahead of bad feedback.
