They will send us brand new boxed printers (with the set up toners that they are supplied with). The colour laserjets they suggest are HP CP3520. Their cartridges are all cheaper than oems to varying extents depending on the cartridge, many are 'over-filled' to give greater yield.

Had a rep from the company 'Cartridge Stockroom' visit. He is offering us as many free printers as we want as long as we buy a set of cartridges for each one, and only replace them with their remanufactured cartridges. They guarantee the printers for the length of the contract with them (2 years). It all sounds too good to be true, but I can't see a catch. They've sent us some of their cartridges to test and they seem at least as good as HP originals. He was quite up front and said the printers were "a bribe". He also told us he has had problems breaking in to the schools market. Has anyone heard of them/ had dealings? They are an Austrian company, also known as Emstar. Thanks.
