Here at MIT we can get the cartridges for about $70 through our university supply center. It's not clear that a $45 or $50 cartridge is worth the savings if the print quality is degraded. Does anyone have any idea of how many times a cartridge can be refilled before the drum starts to give out? -- David Krowitz mit-erl!mit-kermit!krowitz@eddie.mit.edu mit-erl!mit-kermit!krowitz@mit-eddie.arpa david@mit-mc.arpa (in order of decreasing preference)
