Compilation of Dell 1320c Toner Reviews
Buying the Dell 1320c toner cartridges for your printer is actually a surprisingly rewarding experience, as far as purchasing printing supplies can go. The 1320c color laser printer requires the same four standard cartridges as every other color printer on the market, but the model used for these printers is not only lightweight, easy to install, but also fairly inexpensive as far as toner cartridges go. It is easy to find an entire set of all four cartridges for less than $40, with a standard yield of about 2,000 pages, the average for toner cartridges in general.
However not all is rosy and grand with Dell 1320c toner–some consumers report a variance in page yield between cartridges, with their printers demanding a refill from as early as only 500 pages into the cartridge (roughly a quarter of the expected page yield). This is probably due, in part, to tweaking by the manufacturer to encourage consumers to purchase more toner before the initial cartridge has run out, thus pumping up their profits. Unfortunately this is not an uncommon practice in the printing supply industry. However, it can also be a result of consumer ignorance as to common practices and the whims of their own printers, which is also not an uncommon issue. Many reviewers have mentioned that the low cartridge light simply turns on after only about a quarter of the use, and still report between 1,500 and 2,500 page yields despite this fact. In the end it is always a wise idea to ignore the low ink warning signs given by a computer and simply continue printing until the very last drop in order to get the most value out of your product.
It is also important to remember to recycle your toner cartridge after it has finally run dry. This may be slightly more difficult for personal consumers as opposed to office environments, as consumers frequently lose the return packaging or do not see as much return from taking the time to recycle than a customer buying the cartridges in bulk would. This is a large part of how 350 million non-biodegradable cartridges end up in landfills each year, destined to wait under ground for thousands of years before finally decomposing. For the sake of the environment, and for the sake of keeping printing supply costs low, always recycle your cartridges.
