  I've had my eye on this for a while and got it for under £50 by registering as a new customer at Tesco Direct, and using a £10 off £50 spend voucher via Quidco (3% cashback on pre-VAT price too)

  With a set of toners costing around £50 better buy a few not worth refilling them. Whilst deals like this exist i have no guilt in the damage i am doing to the enviroment.

  I've had one of these for a few years now and the cartridges from IJT work fine. Takes some insistence to get their salespeople to stop pestering you though. It's a great printer - fast, reliable, great colour, not too dear to run. In fact IJT often supply the networkable version 'free' if you buy three sets of compatible cartridges.

  I used IJT for a larger Dell colour laser and its been great - knocks the pants off inkjet for regular normal quality printing. I still have the original toner in after over a year and a few sets of, also genuine toner, spare. The capacity doesnt seem part-filled on the first set as they are still going but whichever way, they outlast any inkjet ink I have ever used. IJT are a pain as they ring me every month and i always tell them I have enough toner to last years but they are like old friends now, ringing me with regularity - polite though !! But for a cheap inkjet replacement that will probably be better, especially on cheap photocopy paper for nice colour images it is a no-brainer. Colour is lovely and everything is crisp. No banding, clogged heads, lost ink through recharging and cleaning etc etc etc ... I will never buy another inkjet for routine printing and wish id done this years ago.

  It would appear that 2 sets of carts costs £120 or a printer plus 2 sets costs £90 from IJT?!

  Are the toners only part filled or to capacity does anyone know

  
  You'd know if you followed the link:
  
  Consumables Included Toner cartridge ( black ) - up to 700 pages ¦ Toner cartridge ( colour ) - up to 700 images
  
  The smug people who boast about how they will just buy several and throw them away when the cartridges are exhausted will soon get their comeuppance.

  Great deal and yes, IJT are a good source of replacement toner but their sales people are a pain and do keep hassling every few weeks, don't ever give them your landline phone number ! They only had the number of my spare PAYG mobile so I was able to ignore them most of the time.

  Assuming that these are full cartridges, 700 pages = £55, if you throw the printer away once the cartridges are empty, so that's 8p a page for full colour.
  
  Black refill cartridges are £15, so that's 2p a page for b/w.
  
  For comparison, my ancient HP LJ5 costs about 0.2 per page, but does b/w only.

  700 page is a full standard capacity cartridge, list price £46.80 per cart! High capacity carts (1,400 page and 2,000 for black) are also available. see http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/suppliesselector.aspx?step=1&c=uk&cs=ukdhsc&l=en&s=dhs&ST=dell%20printer%20cartridge&dgc=ST&cid=41141&lid=1069630&acd=1239311527520560&printersku=210-33759
  
  So if you were mug enough to only use genuine carts, it would make more economic sense to throw the printer away, and get another.
  
  plenty of compatible available on ebay eg http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4x-Dell-1250-1250c-1350-1355-1355cn-Toner-Cartridge-Set-/260829966714?pt=UK_Computing_Toner_Cartridges&hash=item3cbaad717a
  
  Also refill kits and replacement chips, although not much less than a compatible cart - looks to be particularly easy to refill though. Still expensive per page for a laser, due to very low capacity of even the "high yield" carts, or rather the cost of replacing the chip every 1,400/2000 pages.
  
  On the plus side, I believe this is a single pass colour printer.

  They will be starter cartridges for that small a number. And it's up to 700 pages - you can bet that in reality you will get nothing like that unfortunately.
  
  I'm glad that they've been "cracked" and refills/third party cartridges are available though.

  A bit off the track...
  I am looking for an all-in-one color ink jet printer which is cheap to maintain/run. Any help or pointers towards a good deal is highly appreciated. Thanks!

  So are the recycled/compatible cartridges on IJT Direct the "high capacity" ones (2000 page black, 1700 page colour)? Thanks.

  Voted cold simply due to the fact you can get AIO for around the same price
  There are normal and high-capacity versions of the cartridges. The high-capacity black version delivers 2,000 pages, while the high-capacity colour cartridges are good for 1,400 pages. Using these cartridges, a black and white page works out at 4.1p per page and a colour one at 15.6p per page, including 0.7p for paper costs. That's quite expensive, especially in terms of colour printing. The running costs of Brother's HL-3040CN are slightly lower
