I wondered about that. My HP colour laser has been going over a year on it's original toners. The "blobs" display started off showing 100% full rather than 20%.

ok - they will be "full", but the size of the toner container will be smaller

And this is when you discover that the cost of replacement toner is 3 times the original price of the printer...

For no readily apparent reason, I did this calculation for a Lexmark colour printer a couple of years ago.

The printer was £170 and the replacement toner was £400...
