[Eddied]

I usually bought from TB or TM:

For this printer, I haven't buy any toner cartridge with printed copies less than 500 sheets to date.

Do take note you need to ship as 特货 for toner cartridge or toner refill bottle, no Taobao direct shipping for 特货.

hey commach, are all the new xerox's using this kind of rectangular toners? my p255dw bought in 2014 uses the round ones, heard the new ones come with drum or something is it true?

 

[commach]

I don't see how 20-25% of local price including shipping is expensive.

Some newer models are indeed using the rectangle toner cartridge, not sure whether all new model switch to using this compared to the traditional round drum cartridges.

Actually I preferred the rectangle toner cartridge, much easier to clear the jammed paper, if any.

Statement by Secretary Napolitano on Increased Security Measures
Release Date: November 8, 2010
For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
Contact: 202-282-8010

"Following the thwarted terrorist plot last week to conceal and ship explosive devices on board aircraft bound for the U.S., the Administration took a number of immediate steps to increase security by tightening existing measures related to cargo bound for the United States.

Some of the steps that have been taken by the Department of Homeland Security included adapting inbound cargo targeting rules to reflect the latest intelligence and ordering a ground halt on all cargo coming from Yemen. In addition, Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Administrator John S. Pistole and a team of TSA inspectors visited Yemen to meet with government security officials and to assist in enhancing Yemen’s security procedures, which are necessary to eventually lift the ground halt on cargo.

Late last week, TSA directed industry carriers to begin implementing additional precautionary security measures for international flights inbound to the United States. These measures take effect today. Specifically, the ban on air cargo from Yemen will continue and has been extended to all air cargo from Somalia as well. In addition, no high risk cargo will be allowed on passenger aircraft. Toner and ink cartridges over 16 ounces will be prohibited on passenger aircraft in both carry-on bags and checked bags on domestic and international flights in-bound to the United States. This ban will also apply to certain inbound international air cargo shipments as well. Further, all cargo identified as high risk will go through additional and enhanced screening. These measures also impact inbound international mail packages, which must be screened individually and certified to have come from an established postal shipper.
