The HP 1012 LaserJet printer is one of the most popular laser printers used by offices and households. Due in part to its reliability, the demand for its replacement consumable is so high to actually surpass the volume supplied in the market. Users of the Q2612A toner cartridge often find it difficult to scout for a replacement at outlets once the loaded unit runs dry. A typical purchase pattern for the cartridge is in pairs so that a standby consumable is at hand to therefore avoid instances of print delays. This however only adds burden to regular laser printer users as one Q2612A toner cartridge carries an outlet price of $70 for its yield of 2,000 pages at 5% coverage.
The 5% industry coverage is not much because the rate applies only to a regular business letter. If the user is printing legal documents, coverage is pegged at 30% to 35% which considerably reduces expected yield as well. In this case, printed page count should have been 1,300 pages or 65% of the toner cartridge's capacity. And since the cost of a replacement OEM toner cartridge is so high, users normally turn to the aftermarket for their toner supply requirements.
The toner refill kit is probably the most popular aftermarket consumable not only due to its budget pricing but also in line with its print and yield performance that is similar with OEM toner. The Q2612A toner refill kit is available in a 4 pack (retailed for only $34.95) with each replacement bottle capable of producing yields of up to 2000 pages. This pulls down the cost of the replacement consumable to only $8.70 per cartridge load or a total printout yield of around 8,000 pages at 5% coverage.
The Q2612A 4pack toner refill kit not only includes 4 bottles of compatible toner but also comes with 4 sets of funnel caps; a pair of latex gloves and lint-free toner wipes; and an instruction sheet to acquaint the user on the step-by-step refill process. Since HP toner cartridges are not devised with a fill hole, users should secure separately a refill tool to access the cartridge toner chamber. No need to worry! Cartridge refills are practically easy and would take no more than 10 minutes to complete the process.
Budget-weary consumers ought to take advantage of the quality and cost benefits offered by the HP toner refill kit. Surely, quality toner marked with print performance and yield capacity expected only from the OEM toner can be derived at very affordable costs.
