New Refill Kits for the C70, C80, C82 and R300. Yes, our Chip Resetter works with these cartridges, however, there is no guide that fits the

Printer Supplies are a Target for Fraud
By Barry Shultz
Ever since my early days in Copier service and Printer repair there has been many instances of fraudulent telemarketers
who peddle their inferior supplies at high costs. Their tactics are usually the same. They call your home or office and tell you
that a customer in your area has refused a shipment and can you take it off their hands for a fraction of the original price? It's actually
much higher but many people don't do proper homework and agree to the shipment. Another tactic is they get you to buy a
small quantity or free sample and when it comes it is not free
and is a huge order that you didn't ask for. Here's a couple of true stories.
" A California phoner offered Jean a "free test cartridge." All she had to do was supply a list of printers and her name. Over the next 2 months, more than $1800 of overpriced toners arrived. When Jean tried to return them they were refused. After weeks of harassing calls her company was put in for collection.”
“Bob, who never ordered more than two cartridges at a time mysteriously ordered 12 toners over the phone. The cartridges were so inferior that his manager didn't want to wait for Bob to
return from vacation and tried to return them himself. First he was told they could not be returned. Then he was told that there would be 40% restocking fee. When he persisted Bob's boss was offered "Another 19 inch color TV" if he would keep the cartridges - after the bill was paid.”
Just be careful when someone calls you on the phone and tries to sell you supplies for your printer or copier.
