What is, except from the price, the difference in the two products you offer as toner kits for the Kyocera FS-1030D?
Toner kit to Kyocera FS-1030D
The two cartridges we supply for the Kyocera FS1030D printer are both black Kyocera TK-120 toner cartridges. One is a genuine Kyocera TK-120 toner which is brand new and made by the OEM manufacturer. The other is a compatible Kyocera TK-120 toner made from recycled materials and manufacured by a third party as a cheaper alternative. You should notice very little difference between the two cartridges in terms of performance.
