I have a Samsung ml-1610 laser printer. I bought a refill kit.
The first time I did it it gave me only 50 good prints. So I
refilled it with some more, but then I only got 10 good prints.
What am I doing wrong? Should I have totally got rid of the old
toner? I though I did that the second time around, but it did not
help. Could it just be a cheap brand, if so, where can I buy a good
quality refill toner?

And yes, I know some of you will discourage me from refilling toner.
Thanks.

You should follow the directions on the kit, and if that fails you
should contact the kit seller.

Refill kits are almost always a bad move.

Fight exposing kids to porn, complain about sites like PCBUTTS1.COM that
create filth and put it on the web for any kid to see: Just take a look
at some of the FILTH he's created and put on his website:

to children (the link I've include does not directly display his filth).
You can find the same information by googling for 'PCBUTTS1' and
'exposed to kids'.

You need a new cartridge. These refill kits are not always successful, or
worth the effort and cost savings.

I am using their refills successfully in my ML1210.

Buy the starter kit first, it includes instructions (£18.77 I believe
for a 1610). Next time just buy the refill.

Lots of info on the site.

I've had the opposite experience for many years-- I buy high quality toner
from a good supplier and properly refill an OEM cart originally purchased
new. Doing that, I typically get at least three to four refills before print
quality deteriorates enough so's you'd notice. My record is six refills--
but I think that one was a magic cartridge...

Having said that, we do keep one printer that we only use new OEM cart in
and use that one only for important docs going to some of out fussier
clients
