The carton I received was a factory sealed unit. After removing all packing including assorted tape, I ran several test pages and found the display indicates the cartridges are full. These appear to be factory starter cartridges all in new condition as was the printer. I am happy with the price and choose to spend part of the savings on the SquareTrade 4 year service plan.

Sorry, this was just ordered for another department and I cannot answer your questions. Hope someone else can.

Yes, a "starter" cartridge is included. It will print approximately 500 pages.

It comes with a "starter" cartridge which is known to run out after 200-250 pages. You have to buy a normal cartridge very shortly. Original cartridges (2600 pages) are expensive but I had no problem with a compatible third-party one (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0062ZNYFK/, $11). There is also a setting that controls what will happen if toner is low (25% or below): default is stop working, but you can change it to continue working (device settings/remote setup/general setup/replace toner: "continue").

Hello, The unit comes with 69ml starter ink cartridges. It would be a good idea to purchase the full size 130ml inks - we sell them for $70 each if interested. Thank you

It comes with ink but the cartridges are supposed to contain just enough ink to setup the printer. However so far I have printed out about six 12 inch x 12 inch heavily colored t-shirt transfer prints and still have ink left. Because the spec said setup ink tanks, I ordered a full set of spares along with the printer. I think that printer manufacturers sell the printers for under cost and then make all their money on selling ink. By the time you replace the tanks twice on many printers, you will have spent more money on ink than on the printer. Just the same, I think it is an outrage not to include a full set of tanks with a new printer.

The printer does come with starter cartridges, which are not 100% full. I would plan or ordering a set if you're going to be printing a lot right off the bat.

Mine did, so unless they've changed their practices (which I doubt) it does include everything you need to start printing (except the printer cable). The starter cartridge does not have a lot of toner in it, though. You should expect the starter cartridge to print less than 1,000 pages. Vs. 1500 pages for the TN330 cartridge or 2600 for the TN360 (high yield) toner cartridge.

My recollection is that it came with starter toner - not the full amount. I later had issues when changing multiple toners and had to trash the printer. I cannot recommend this printer.

Yes it comes with 1 of each ink needed to get it started. I have had mine now for about 2 months, I homeschool my daughter so we use the printer a lot, and I have just now had to replace the large black ink cartridge.

The Technical Specifications page I have on this (my) Printer says it'll print 1000 pages in color, 1200 pages in black. Don't expect this with the 4 Toners that are included with the unit it's shipped with though. Those are called "introductory toners" that only print 500 pages. Obviously they are only half full so you better pick up the standard (full) toners when you buy the printer since they may be at a discounted price if you "bundle" them together at the time of your purchase. Expect to pay around $55- $60 per toner. Remanufactured toners are hit and miss. I think they are what caused my 2 year old HP 6500 All-in-one Ink Jet Printer to die an early death so I won't use them anymore. If you're going to buy toners on Amazon, EBay, etc. then make darn sure the Expiration Date (marked on the toner box) is still good before you buy any. Hope this helps.

Yes, it comes with starter cartridges. however, be warned, you MUST have the starter cartridge in order for it to initialize/install. We bought several of these printers at the same time (love them) but ran out of ink in one and use the starter cartridge from one of the unopened boxes - and have now spent 4 hours trying to resolve how to get a replacement starter cartridge. Frustrating.

The starter color cartridges that come with it will last awhile if you only occasionally use color. I use it at my business, have had it for about 2 1/2 months, made a lot of copies, and haven't even approached the ink tanks having to be replaced. These are only the starter cartriges. I purchased an "XL" cartrige in black to replace the starter one when it ran out, looks like it will be about 6 months or so before I need to even think about it. The cartriges are not cheap but if they last well beyond what the starter ones do, they're well worth it. Print about 100 - 150 pages per day on average.

it comes with a starter toner ink cartridge. It does quite a lot of pages before needing to be replaced. In fact I gave it to my brother to finish out the toner in his machine after ordering a new high capacity toner cartridge for myself. This is a great machine for all your Black and White printing.

Yes, but cartridges are only starter cartridges. The supplied cartridges are only 40-60% capacity of purchased separately cartridges, maybe. Much like all new printers with supplied ink cartridges.

It came with starter ink, takes four cartridges. The numbers on it I wouldn't know because she has the printer at her apartment. I would think that would be with the details given on Amazon.

Sorry, I can't be much help. The ones that came with the printer didn't last long. Figured I'd get the bigger ones. Have to say I'm very displeased with the amount of printing from one cartridge. Perhaps the cartridges that came with the printer were some sort of sample size.
