New Product: HP CE505X MICR Toner Cartridge for LaserJet P2055

We’ve just released the Advantage Brand CE505X High Yield MICR toner cartridge for the HP LaserJet P2055 series. The cartridge yield is 6,500 pages and at $160, the cost per page is 2.46 cents per page, vs. 4.3 cents per page for the comparable CE505A model. Advantage Brand cartridges are remanufactured and come with the 100% money back guarantee, the same as our Premium or new MICR toner cartridges.

Note: The high yield MICR toner cartridge does not fit the HP P2035. The P2035 can only use the CE505A MICR toner cartridge.

New lower pricing on Lexmark T640 MICR Toner Cartridges

We’re over stocked on Genuine Lexmark 64015SA toner cartridges used in the Lexmark T640, T642, T644 laser printers. While supplies last the new Lexmark 64015SA standard yield toner cartridge is on sale for $121 down from $139.

We’ve also permanently lowered the price on the new Lexmark T640 high yield MICR toner cartridge from $460 to $360. How can we do this? We start with a NEW Lexmark standard yield (6K) 64015SA toner cartridge, but retrofit it with the high yield load of MICR toner (20K). This provides a great savings to our customers while still providing a new modified Lexmark product.

HP Releases New Firmware to Allow Wireless Printing from iPhone

HP has just released new firmware to bring mobile printing technology to LaserJet printers. Previously only HP inkjets were capable of utilizing the ePrint product. Printers compatible with the new update include LaserJet Pro CP1025nw, M1217nfw MFP, 1102w, P1560, 1600, and P175nw. All of these devices once updated will be compatible with AirPrint which will allow users to print directly from an Apple iPhone or iPad.

The new firmware update will also allow users to use HP’s new Print Control app which will notify the user if the toner used is original HP or remanufactured / non-OEM. In addition Print Control will allow you to print, scan or copy from your iPhone, scan documents directly to FaceBook or Google Documents and more.

Advantage offers both the LaserJet P1606dn MICR Laser Printer and the P1102W MICR Laser Printer for printing checks. I’d like to see an iPhone app to print checks wirelessly from your iPhone. Say you need to write a check in a hurry, just type in the payee and amount into your iphone, and print. What could be better?

HP CE390A / CE390X MICR Toner for LaserJet 600 Series

HP LaserJet 602M Series MICR Printer

HP has just released the new LaserJet 600 Series of laser printers. The 600 series is fast ranging from 45 to 62 pages per minute. The printers are based upon a 8.5″ format, meaning the largest size paper they will accept is 8.5×14. The 602 and 603 printers also include a 10-key keypad for secure document printing using a PIN.

As with the P4015 line, the CE390X high yield toner cartridge will not fit the entire 600 series line of printers. The M601 line will not accept the high yield toner cartridge, only the M602 & M603 lines.

We are now stocking two products for the M600 line, the CE390A New MICR Toner Cartridge and the CE390X New MICR Toner Cartridge. These are both new MICR cartridges and not remanufactured. As the cartridge is very similar to the CC364A and CC364X MICR toner cartridges, we expect to have a remanufactured version available by March of 2012, assuming we have a good supply of empty toner cartridges.

The 600 series will replace the P4000 series which includes the P4014, P4015, P4150 printers. The pricing is lower, the printer is quieter and the speeds are higher. Not bad… Here’s a rundown of the new printers:

HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601 Series Models: M601n, M601dn – 45ppm

HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M602 Series Models: M602n, M602dn, M602x – 52ppm

HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M603 Series Models: M603n, M603dn, M603xh – 62ppm

Troy Secure MICR Toner…Worth it?

Troy Secure MICR Toner Example

You may have notice that Troy sells something called “Secure” MICR toner cartridges. The “Advantage” of Troy Secure MICR toner is that it smears a red dye on the page if tampered with. There are several reasons why this is probably not the best use of your money. Mainly most check fraud these days isn’t done via check alteration. Most people that engage in check fraud these days simply reproduce checks using their own check paper and MICR toner. Additionally our 500 series of check paper has built in chemical reactivity so if someone attempts to alter a check, the paper reacts and the check is ruined.

500 Series Check Stock Indicator Stains

A good quality check paper loaded with security features like our 500 or 600 series check stock is a good way to deter check alteration, as it makes scanning your reproducing your document via a scanner more difficult. If you want to eliminate check fraud a positive pay system is your best bet. Here’s how positive pay works. After every check run, you send a file to your bank with the check #, amount, date and payee. Then when a check is presented to your bank, it has to match up with the positive pay records the bank has on file. If it does not, the bank will not honor the check. Depending on the amount and the quantity of checks you write, it may take over a month if ever for you to realize that someone has written a bogus check against your account. By that time you may find you are out a considerable amount of money. In time you’ll get your money from the bank, but it may take time for the bank to do it’s own investigation and credit the money back.

With Advantage you have three choices when it comes to buying MICR toner cartridges for your Troy Laser Printer.

1. Premium New MICR Toner Cartridges made for Troy printers: These are new HP toner cartridges that have been retrofitted with MICR toner. When you buy a Troy brand cartridge you get a retrofitted HP cartridge as well. In addition we add the toner secure feature that allows your Troy printer to recognize a MICR toner vs. a standard toner cartridge. Typically Troy uses something simple like installing a magnet on the toner cartridge.  The printer has a sensor that detects the magnetic field. If there is no magnetic field, then the printer will prompt you to insert a MICR toner cartridge before printing. This is the most reliable MICR toner you can buy. We rarely get a new MICR toner cartridge returned.
2. Advantage Remanufactured MICR Toner Cartridges made for Troy printers: Our remanufactured toner cartridges are remanufactured in Atlanta, Georgia – not China. We replace the entire imaging system in our remanufactured cartridges and only use cartridges that have never been remanufactured before. All toner cartridges are thoroughly tested and inspected. After inspection, we print MICR test documents and analyze them in a RDM analyzer to verify that the MICR toner meets ABA, ANSI and CBA standards. Finally we install the Troy toner secure feature so that your Troy  printer will recognize that the toner cartridge is a MICR toner cartridge. These cartridges are very reliable and have a 100% money back guarantee.
3. Genuine Troy Brand MICR Toner: – If you insist on paying top dollar for a Troy brand MICR toner cartridge, we have them in stock. Troy produces a good MICR toner cartridge and their quality is consistent month to month. In fact we use Troy toner in some of our MICR toner cartridges.

Which MICR toner to use in your Troy printer? The decision is yours. Personally I would use the Advantage remanufactured as they are very reliable and the cost savings makes it your best option. If you want supreme reliability, I’d go with the Premium New MICR toner cartridges from Advantage. You are the customer, and the choice is yours. We’re here to serve your check printing needs.
