Xerox XD100 series ink and toner is a much-searched-for type of toner due to the popularity of the Xerox WorkCentre XD100 series of digital copiers. Xerox has discontinued the series, but you can still find new toner cartridges for the machines. Many small and home offices still use these fast copiers, which double as computer laser printers. Most toner vendors carry one or more products to refill these copiers when the toner runs out.

You must periodically replace Xerox XD100 series ink and toner. The black laser toner cartridge contains the toner. Xerox XD100 drum cartridges contain a fuser drum with a page yield approximately 3 times as large as the toner cartridge. Use the following strategies to get new toner for your Xerox XD100:

1. Buy XD100 Xerox toner cartridges made by Xerox.

2. Find compatible toner cartridges made by other manufacturers for use in Xerox copiers and laser printers.

3. Save money with toner refill kits, which allow you to refill your current toner cartridge instead of buying new.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Purchase a genuine Xerox XD100 toner cartridge

Printer manufacturers make toner and ink, known as OEM toner, specifically for their machines. Find the correct cartridge model for your copier by consulting the printer's manual or checking the label of the current cartridge. Look online at an online toner finder, an interactive tool that identifies the correct cartridge model when you supply the printer manufacturer and model.

I recommend: InkJetSuperStore offers low prices on compatible drum and toner cartridges and also sells the OEM cartridges. Buy OEM toner and the Xerox XD100 drum cartridge at Staples, Inc., where you get free shipping on large orders. You can also register to set up a shopping list of frequently-purchased items to save time.

Buy compatible and remanufactured Xerox XD100 toner cartridges

Some online retailers offer Xerox XD100 series ink and toner at lower prices than local stores. Choose a vendor with low-cost or free shipping for additional savings. Consider how often you use new cartridges before you buy in bulk; manufacturers recommend you store cartridges no longer than 24 months to ensure quality toner.

I recommend: PrintCountry sells remanufactured toner cartridges and OEM drum cartridges for the Xerox XD100. TonerPrice.com sells remanufactured cartridges as well as OEM, will accept your returns if you are not satisfied and ships from 5 locations. OfficeSupplyOutfitters refunds your purchase price within 30 days if you change your mind for any reason after purchasing one of their compatible drums or cartridges.

Refill your XD100 toner cartridge

Xerox toner refill kits cost less than a new cartridge, saving you more money than buying a remanufactured cartridge. Refilling a cartridge takes about 5 minutes following the enclosed instructions and requires a regular screw driver. You will still need to replace the drum cartridge when it wears out.

I recommend: The Printer Ink Warehouse sells bulk toner and refill kits for the Xerox XD100, as well as compatible drums and cartridges. Plus you can get free shipping on larger orders. Precision Roller offers low prices on bulk ink. Orders usually ship the same day and have a 30-day guarantee.

Tips & Tactics

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

• •  Donate your used Xerox XD100 series toner cartridges to local schools or community organizations; they can receive money for each recycled cartridge and help the environment at the same time.
• •  Refill or recycle your Xerox XD100 series toner cartridges as soon as possible. The quality of a used cartridge degrades as it sits around. Put used cartridges back in the wrapper and box they came in to store them while waiting to recycle them.
