Some time ago I bought the Brother laser printer HL 3170 CDW. After the original toners ran out, I used replacement products. Now the print quality is so bad that I almost don't need the printouts. Does anyone have any experience with good compatible products? E.g. Pelikan?

Accepted Answer

I've had good and bad experiences with Pelikan. With Peach actually only bad - evergreen goes so....general I'm tired of it and only use original products. It's not worth the price difference and the nerves and inconvenience if I have to throw away the new one because the quality is so bad...

Answer

I was exactly the same as User Meierhoferit. As a result, I have configured the printer driver/PC in such a way that the printout is only B/W by default. I then have to consciously select CMY colour printing, but this means I need less colour toner overall.
