From HP:
Effective January 1, 2012, the prices of toner cartridges will increase by approximately 2 percent. In addition to this 2 percent increase, HP will increase list prices on 27 select HP legacy toner cartridges.
This move is a result of HP’s standard portfolio management process. As part of this process HP as manufacturer regularly reviews pricing for all its products and makes adjustments, as appropriate.
Affected legacy printers include the 5si/8000, 8100, 4000, and 4100 models. I mention these models because they are the most popular of the legacy printers that OfficeMedic supports, driven by the high page yield afforded by their cartridges. We will continue to provide remanufactured toner cartridges (and service) for these printers, and we expect no price increase on them in 2012.
