Compatible printer cartridges from Supplies Team for HP4600
« on: October 20, 2010, 09:30:27 AM »
We purchased compatible printer cartridges from the Supplies Team because of the massive hike in prices from HP.  Since using these cartridges in our 4 HP4600 I seem to have had nothing but trouble.  2 of the printers have had new fusers (?210 each) and colour mixing is rubbish on the printouts.  I am going to go back to the Supplies Team to complain but I was just interested to see if anyone else had had problems

We had the the same problem with these toners, they're pretty good about changing them.

Did they change them for more compatibles or HP ones?

Had the same problems with these cartridges.  They replaced them with compatibles, but we have since went back to HP ones

Our 4600 kicked the bucket some time ago.  Was a noisy bucket of bolts.  Still, I think the cartridges for it are much cheaper than the 4700..?130 each iirc.

Our 4600s run on compats.  ?50 a cartridge is far cheaper than HP originals.  Can't complain about the quality.  We have 1 in the Gen Office, Library, and Science.  Touch wood, no complaints about them.

I have had a number of magenta cartridges fail from my last order. In the process of raising a returns with Kirk. Must give him a ring tomorrow I have the feeling the office has neglected to tell me he phoned.

I rarely buy compatibles, if i do its only for mono lasers. I have never really trusted them as they can be more hassle than there worth. The last one i think i used was in forthill for a HP 4550 and it leaked all over the place.

 :ThreadHijacked: Our Art Dept want to buy a new colour printer (possibly to replace the HP4600). What would you recommend that can print A4 and A3? I think someone posted something on this a month ago but I cant find it

I kitted our Art Dept out with an HP5550.  You can buy an extra tray for A3, or manually change paper depending on whatever you're printing.
One thing I will mention... Art Depts tend to print large pictures/photographs (**Newsflash**)  lol.  So, to prevent the printer having an attack, I bumped up the RAM on it to the max.

All going well, for almost 3yrs now*... with compat cartridges n all !  ;)

That is the same as what has happened with our magenta cartridges Gerard. 2 magenta cartridges that register as half full but no magenta printed.

That is why we stopped using the 4600s we had three and the cartridges always leaked but with us it was usually the magenta one. :(
 
We bought two Hp 1515s colour to replace them, connected to C2k via usb to one C2k PCs and so far no problem with them ;D

I HAD USED COMPATABLE CATRIDGES FOR THE 3 4600 PRINTERS THAT WE HAVE AND ALTHOUGH THEY WORK WELL MOST OF THE TIME I FOUND THAT COMING TO THE END OF THE CARTRIDGE NO MATTER WHAT THE COLOUR THEY WOULD START TO LEAK SO I NOW USE ALL GENUINE HP CARTRIDGES AND HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS SINCE CHANGING.
