Soy-Based Toner Cartridges?
Jon.Laslow writes "I'm getting a lot of pressure from managers to switch to soy-based toner cartridges for our laser printers because they are 'greener.' The problem is, the only information I can find on them is from sales pitches; and the reviews all seem to be user testimonials. Do you have any experience soy-based printing products? Did you have any issues with them, and how was the print quality?"
Score: -1 Aspergers. No shit ink is different from toner! You're missing the point you retard!
After a few weeks, that "60 watt equivalent" 14 watt CFL is more like a 25-watt equivalent ... or less. Couple that with the poor quality of the light itself, and the only real advantage is to be able to use many point sources of light for more even lighting for the same wattage. In other words, instead of a 100-watt light bulb, use 7 14-watt CFL bulbs (which is what I have on top of my 7 bookshelves - overall, it doesn't give more light than a 100-watt bulb, but it oes result in fewer shadows).
