I usually source mine from e-bay, usually getting new branded ones at a fraction
of the cost.

Last Kyocera one I got was a black one for about �4 + pp.

I don't know how they compare on prices, but I've used "Supercharge"
in Cambridge for years. Their toner carts. are utterly reliable and
the guy knows his stuff. You only have to say have an XYZ printer and
he'll tell you which one you need. Everytime I get a toner from
somewhere else, I regret it - they die prematurely or leak toner
everywhere (except for new, branded ones at full price :-().

Ah, yes, I remember now - their web ordering does seem to be somewhat
broken. Seems to be one of those "create a shop" type websites, and
I'd guess website construction isn't one of his core skills. Ring him
up - very friendly and helpful.

I've used Kenborne lots of times and have always been very satisfied
with them.

He may be on hols;I thought he had an answerphone, but the last cart I
got from him over a year ago is still going...
