Xerox 006R01716 toner cartridge 1 pc(s) Original Gold

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

At £396.14 ex‑VAT for a single “Original” Xerox cartridge, this is firmly in the “only if you absolutely need OEM” bracket. If you’re running a managed print environment where uptime matters and you’ve already standardised on Xerox machines, the appeal is predictability: consistent print quality, fewer “mystery” print defects, and less hassle with warranty/servicing conversations. For a business that’s costed printing as a workflow risk (not just a commodity), paying for the known quantity can make sense.

That said, £396 is a lot of money for toner, and the real question is whether you’re getting good value per page. If your usage is moderate and you don’t have strict OEM requirements, there are often cheaper compatible/“remanufactured OEM equivalent” options that won’t burn you—just be picky and pick a reputable reseller with a solid returns policy. I’d only recommend this exact cartridge if you’re seeing problems with non‑OEM in your fleet, you’ve got high coverage jobs where print consistency matters, or your internal policy demands original parts. Otherwise, it’s hard not to see this as overpriced for what most teams are trying to achieve: reliable output at a sensible cost.
