Why are they for monochrome laser printers only? In other words, what will likely happen if I put them in my color laser printer?

We list these as Monochrome Only due to customer complaints when using with a color laser printer. We are not sure of the cause of this, but some colors tend to not adhere to the stock as well as the black toner. That being said, we have also had customers who have run the stock fine through the color laser printer. Due to the different results, we decided to list it as monochrome only. If you wish to receive a sample before ordering, please contact us privately and we can set that up for you!

ummmm if you have a vivid imagination LOL NO you can not, this "toner" is for a black & white laser printer i.e. it prints black/gray tones on white paper .. however I have done some photo work with it and hand painted with water colours and or used translucent coloured markers to make " custom coloured prints" I hope this helps ? All the very best~john

I ended up throwing mine away because I didn't realize that they wouldn't work until it was too late to return. They will not work and I was very angry that I couldn't return them....My printer is a LC-103 Brother Printer! These were recommended for this printer. Send yours back...

Yes. They work with a laser printer. I did find that I had to calibrate the printer and adjust the color settings in my print dialog and in photoshop to get accurate color.

Why would you use them in a laser printer? These are double window...you don't need to print anything on them. You insert printed checks into the envelopes.

NO!! I bought these and have been trying to use them in my MFCJ450DW printer, and it will NOT recognize them. I just wasted my money buying them.

I just used a standard HP Laserjet printer and it worked great. I'll buy these again if/when I need them.

I don't know - I have alway used it for an inkjet printer but I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't be suitable for a laser printer.

They would work best with sharpies, pens or crayons. They are not very good for use in a lazer printer. Too much curl and recurl so it wont feed correctly.

No, this will only print monochrome. The only toner available is black for this model. I wonder if they are referring to a color scan to to your pc.

The package does specify that it works with color laser printers. Try doing a search with your type of printer: "inkjet laser gloss" and see what that pulls up. If this product comes up again, you might want to try it. Just make sure you load the paper properly. Directions for that are on the back of the package label.

To be honest, I have no idea. I have both a straight mono-chrome laser printer as well as the color printer. Both from Brother. Most of my printing is on the mono-chrome printer, so I replace the color cartridges about every 18 months or so.

Hi. Yes they can be used with a laser printer. I use inkjet labels with my laser sometimes with no problems. Thanks

I've never used the compatible inks. I know it voids your warranty, so if you have a new printer I wouldn't use them.

I think this is a ploy to force customers to buy color cartridges even if you are only printing in black & white. There's no solution that I know of except to buy store brand ink cartridges. I still don't understand why you need cartridges in the printer in order to scan and fax - that still has me stumped, but I think it's a design flaw.

I ended up not using these inks, they would not print labels and were so light, I could not make it out. The ink they use is not dense enough, I am thinking and that is probablywhy they are asking you to order from Canon. Good Luck

They work great on my laser printer. I've only used them with laser, never with inkjet and have never had a problem.
