Toner Cartridges
There are numerous vendors supplying toner cartridges which you are free to select. However, if your printer is under a maintenance contract it is best to check with your technician before purchasing compatible brand toner cartridges.
The vendors below have provided IPFW special pricing on their toner cartridges. We are providing this information for your convenience. Click on their links to view their toner cartridge pricing.

If you experience any printer problems that are believed to be caused by your Cartridge City cartridge follow these steps:
1. Contact Cartridge City at 436-9330 and select customer service.
2. Report the situation to Cartridge City. Advise them if your technician
is available for discussion.
3. Your printer repair technician will describe the printer problem and the
steps he is taking to resolve the problem. Their discussion should
not result in significantly increasing the time you are without a printer.
4. Be sure to ask your printer repair technician to provide you a signed
company form stating the Cartridge City supplied product is the sole cause
of the machine damage. Keep this for your warranty claim with Cartridge
City.
If you were unsuccessful in reaching Cartridge City customer support, your printer repair technician should make needed repairs, but be sure to follow step #4.
