The printer claims that the black and magenta toner cartridges are nearly empty.

My wild guess is that it may do a few dozen more black and white prints at reduced quality.

Personally, I would like to have a working printer in the makerspace.

The cartridges are not cheap, so this may be something to be considered as part of general budgeting.

Correct! We already have the Magenta cartridge - when it runs out it - it is in the chest of drawers with office supplies and stuff next to sofas / 3 week bins…

We should go ahead and buy a new black cartridge and keep it for when it runs out - they are very reasonable at £41.53 for 16,500 pages:

For the curious! Full analysis was done before we got the new printer:

Magenta cart has just been swapped - _it will tell you when it need replacing (more than just low)._

Black cart is under the printer - _ **wait** _ and we will replace it when it says to! Cheers!
