MICR Toner and Check Printing
New Products HP CC364X MICR and Text Toner (High Yield)
We’re pleased to announce we now stock the HP CC364X MICR and HP CC364X Text toner cartridges for the HP
LaserJet P4015 and P4150 printers. The CC364X is rated at 24,000 pages. Note the CC364X will not fit in the P4014N series printers as it only takes the standard yield (10K) cartridge. The cost per page is substantially lower if your printer can take the CC364X cartridge. The cost per page on the CC364X MICR toner cartridge is 1.33 cents per page. It seem that most of our customers have the P4014N cartridge that won’t accept the high yield cartridge. Cost saving over the life of the printer can be a justification for buy the more expensive P4015N over the P4014N.
Note: Because the CC364X weighs more than 500 grams we won’t be able to ship these to the UK due to the recent toner bomb incident.

HP P4014N MICR Laser Printer On Sale!
HP just released some great instant rebates on select HP printers. Mostly the instant rebates are for the higher end HP printers like the P3015 and the P4014 series. We’re passing the cost savings along to our customers for our HP MICR laser printers.
We have a $200 instant rebate on the HP P3015N MICR laser printer bringing the cost down to$525 from $725. Better yet HP has a $375 instant rebate on the P4014N bring the price of our P4014N MICR laser printer down to $575 from $1,099 (somehow the

So if you are considering upgrading your aging printer, now is a good time to do it. In addition HP still has the Trade-in and Save 2010 program that allows you to trade in your old printer for cash.

New Product: Canon MFP MICR Printer
Canon MF4370DN MICR MFP
New Product: The Canon ImageClass MF4370dn multi-function printer with a MICR Toner cartridge. Traditionally we’ve only sold HP printers, but we felt the Canon was a better printer on several fronts. Primarily Canon has better drivers that work better and don’t require as many resources. Canon actually manufactures HP LaserJet printers, so the quality is the same with either HP or Canon. Also Canon delivers more bank for the buck. The MF4370dn includes print (23ppm), network connectivity, fax, scan, copy and duplex capabilities in one tidy package.
The Canon MF4370dn uses the Canon 104 MICR cartridge which is almost identical the the HP Q2612A cartridges used in the HP LaserJet 1012 printer. Canon has installed a tab that prevents 104 from being used in an HP printer and vice/versa. We also plan to offer a remanufactured Canon 104 MICR toner cartridge as well as a standard 104 remanufactured cartridge.
We should have the Canon MF4370dn MICR MFP printer in stock in early August 2010 at the latest.
New Products: MICR Toner for Lexmark E260, E360 & E460
Lexmark E260, E360, E460 MICR Toner
The Lexmark T650 MICR toner has been such a success, we’ve decided to go deeper into the Lexmark lineup with our MICR Toner. We’ve just started developing a MICR toner cartridge for the Lexmark E260, E360 and E460 series. To start with we will produce the 3,500 page yield E260A11A MICR cartridge as it is compatible with all three series printers. Lemark makes a 9,000 page yield cartridge (E360H11A), but it is not compatible with the E260 series, so we’ll stick with the cartridge that works with them all.
The E260A11a is compatible with the following Lexmark printers: E260D, E260DN, E360D, E360DN, E460DN, E460DW, E462DTN
Expected release date is early August 2010.

Dell 5230 / 5350 MICR Toner in R&D
We’ve just started working on a Dell 5350 / Dell 5230 MICR toner cartridge. We hoping to offer a high yield cartridge with a 21,000 page yield. This will be a new MICR cartridge, not remanufactured. The Dell cartridge is very similar to our Lexmark T650 MICR toner cartridge, the main difference being the chip which does not allow cross use of consumables between Lexmark and Dell printers.
Dell offers 4 variations of cartridges for this printer, although two varieties are really the same thing with a “use and return” policy. When you buy a “use and return” cartridge you are agreeing that you will return the cartridge to Dell and not let the empty fall into the hands of someone whom “heaven forbid” might actually recycle or remanufacture the cartridge. And for this Dell allows you to save $120 on the high yield cartridge and $60 on the standard or low yield cartridge. Dell seems to have modeled this practice after the Lexmark “Prebate” cartridge in which Lexmark offers you a rebate in advance if you agree to return the cartridge to Lexmark. All of this is done to keep the empty cartridges from being remanufactured or recycled. If the cartridge is remanufactured then that’s revenue that Lexmark / Dell does not receive.
The “use and return” or “prebate” policy to me seem to add to confusion. My guess is most customers just bought the cheapest one and never really felt then entered into a contract buy buying the “prebate” cartridge, and therefore what they did with it had no bearing on the “contract” but rather what was convenient.

The MICR results are spectacular for both of these printers. We did find we had better results using a slightly bolder variation of the MICR font with the P1606dn as it produces lighter a lighter stroke.
