[QUOTE="Mulsiphix, post: 194827, member: 1330"] I'm curious if toner cartridges have similar dangers that ink cartridges do. Is toner completely safe due to a "can't really get it wrong" technology/design or are there similar variables with toner that you find with ink based systems (example: ink type, non/pressurized cartridges, horrible quality or even non-printer ink, auto-reset/recognition chips, etc...). A new official high-yield toner cartridge is going to set me back $220 while a generic one will cost me $107. However, if there is significant risk to my printer itself, as was the case with my HP 7680, I don't think its worth taking the chance. Any suggestions, thoughts, advice, etc... would be most appreciated.

It turns out that the retail/official HP88 ink cartridges are pressurized so my CISS essentially ruined my printer. Sadly I didn't learn about the pressurized cartridges until wasting more money. I had assumed it was either the CISS, type of ink, or HP 7680 that was faulty. So I purchased a second 7680, different brand CISS, and different type of ink (first was dye based, second was pigment based). After this fiasco I left ink behind and went with a laser jet and toner.
