It's really difficult to get refilled toner for colour laser printers.
Generally, the toner doesn't fuse properly or the colours are badly out
of calibration. If you want laser-economy in a workgroup type package
you might want to consider the HP Business Inkjet range which have the
lowest colour cost per page around because they use separate ink-tanks
and printheads. You might want to look at the Business Inkjet 3000 which
is laser-speed and low cost. HP are not replacing it when it goes end of
life so there are good deals on it at the moment. I'm very happy with mine.

That wasn't my point. The point was that if you use refills for a colour
laser your colours will almost certainly be borked. It's almost
impossible for a refiller to get the right consistency of pigment, wax
and developer in teh toner particles taht will give decent prints. The
print either flakes off or is the wrong colour completely.
