Q: Color toner cartridge in LaserWriter Pro?
Can I print in full-spectrum color if I find a color toner cartridge for my old LaserWriter?
Just kidding!
I actually have two of these old machines, and it has occurred to me that it would be more interesting for one to print with black toner, and the other with cyan. I know I could wait until I get an empty cartridge and have it refilled with cyan toner, but I was wondering if there is any place I can buy a compatible, brand-new cartridge that comes with cyan toner in it. Is there such a cartridge in existence that was originally intended to be some different color?
I imagine a refilled cartridge would be problematic because not all of the black could ever be removed, possibly leaving random streaks. Also because I don't have an extra cartridge to fill right now.
