I'd like to buy an inexpensive BW laser printer that uses a toner with iron oxide...please recommend printer and toner

Most new printers are using polystyrene not iron oxide. If you look at the Safety data sheets for the toner cartridges you can find which ones use Iron Oxide but typically it is older printers.

If you find the information provided useful or solves your problems, help other users find the solution easier by giving kudos and marking my post as an accepted solution.

Yes...I looked at those data sheets...and that step helped identify the toners with iron oxide...and I get it that mostly it is older printers that use these toners...however recommending  looking for  older printers is not terribly useful...people use their printers til they die, they pitch them and buy inexpensive new printers. What I need...and many people in the art world need is a printer using the toners with iron oxide that is available for purchase today! Perhaps HP could begin to reproduce a printer specifically designed to use a toner with a reasonable component of iron oxide...if that were to happen the world of art hear about it and the market would likely amaze them!

 

I know you are a volunteer and I appreciate your effort to help...but if you have any ability to advise HP...what would help would be to advise them of this market sector and recommend that they do what they purport to do and that is to produce and market the products that their customers need...and that is not always new whiz bang units that do stuff we don’t need...recommending old printers that are just are not available doesn’t help!...Thanks...HP ARE YOU LISTENING????
