Which makes me think that the 3rd party replacement cartridges would be fine, I'd just like to know for sure before wasting money on them. I actually don't mind the original cartridges. We did replace our yellow with a 3rd party cartridge at one point and you could actually see a difference, but for the time being I just want to get as much as we can out of our old cartridges before making the official switch.
I can see the difference as well, on mine the blacks are a bit less black. But we're talking about a 30$ peer cartridge difference to print stuff that will be discarded at some point so I don't care.
I have the colour laser jet as I'm printing things that will be kept around like print and play games, or standees for skirmish/rpg games. I may give it a go on one colour though and see. I just wasn't sure if the official and region locking part of these cartridges was in the same bit or if it was something that might have to be bypassed separately. But if you're getting cartridges from aliexpress then it's probably fine.
Not all 3rd party inks are created equal, btw.
