Soy-Based Toner Cartridges?

Posted by kdawson on from the it's-green-they-say-on-the-far-side-of-the-hill dept.

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?"

    Those user testimonials are great! I like how all their users synchronized their postings! There are 3 on June 2nd from 11:32 to 11:34, 1 on June 5th, and 5 from June 20th from 12:30 to 12:31.

    Hilarious...

    To put it a little bit simpler: paper with soy-based ink goes onto my compost pile or into my worm farm. Paper with other or unknown ink goes into the municipal garbage landfill ("not my problem") since my worms seem to sometimes misteriously die from it.
