There's a big difference in the quality of compatible cartridges. The more reputable companys will offer some form of guarantee, and if they don't then I would avoid them. I work for the 2nd largest buyer of toners across Europe and we use the same company that Viking Direct use to have theirs manufactured. They are made in the UK to British Standards and my experience is they don't go wrong any more often than genuine toners.

My Father used to own a local computer business many years ago, and shared some offices with Mikesoft before they moved to Burntwood. It was actually founded by a guy called Mike so I guess using Mikesoft as a name was a bit of a no-brainer although I believe he's no longer involved due to ill health. I've heard good things about them from my own customers who have used them, but whether they're competetive I don't know. They've been around for years though and loads of other companys have sprang up then dissappeared again.
