Brother TN760 cartouche de toner compatible noire haute capacité - avec puce - Moustache® - 1/paquet

Shipping was fast (ordered Oct 11 and delivered by EOD Oct 13). I've always ordered Moustache brand inks and toner whenever possible since they save me at least half (if not more) than the original price of an OEM branded cartridge. They normally work as well as the original and have never had any issues. My current printer has been reporting low ink/toner for a few weeks now (as of Nov 7) so I should be using this pretty soon. Printer uses either TN-730 or TN-760 so I opted for the higher yield with chip from Moustache. As you can see in my picture, the product delivered is well sealed and padded so it arrived without any outwardly visible damage. I will update should there be any issues once installed.

Support mural TV classique pour téléviseurs LED à écran plat de 23 - 42 po PrimeCables®

5/5

Heavy duty ! Ever since I bought my first monitor/TV mount from prime cables, I have always been a fan of their products. This is no exception. The stand comes complete with various sizes of bolts, washers and spacers as well as wood/wall stud mount. The mount is designed for a TV (up to 42" weighing up to 30kg) but I am using it for a much lighter smaller computer monitor. On one of my computer setups, I need at least 4 monitors but I prefer a specific arrangement (see picture below) that will not be possible using normal monitor mounts. Using custom brackets, I was able to devise a monitor mount that sits perpendicular to my rightmost monitor. This places the 4th monitor on top and at an angle for better viewing. The tilt and swivel function comes in handy as well as the easy-on function. This makes installing and positioning the 4th monitor a lot easier.

Câble 28AWG haute vitesse HDMI vers DVI-D Dual Link avec noyau de ferrite – noir – 6pi

5/5

The cable is nice and thick but still flexible. The length is good. It works without any issues converting an HDMI signal to a DVI input for a monitor. I have used a lot of these cables before and this one looks and feels particularly better than others. You can clearly see the thicker Primecable (red arrow). Also works with HDMI switchers without any issues.

Surligneur, couleur néon brillant, pointe biseautée, 3/boîte - Moustache®

5/5

Small and handy. Good price for 3 pens. Not as good as staedtler or stabilo highlighters but these work equally well. They are small enough to carry in a pencil and should be good for occasional usage.

Staedtler Textsurfer® classique 364 surligneur,1/paquet - Turquoise

5/5

It works. Staedtler remains a trusted brand and I am not disappointed with the quality of this highlighter pen despite being a little bit smaller than expected. This uses a water-based ink but is inkjet safe (so it will not smudge printouts and handwritten text. They are copy proof. Violet and turquoise are intended for documents that are to be copied. I purchased both of these colours and can confirm that when a portion of the text is highlighted, they won't show up on photocopier or scanned copies.

Samsung MLT-D105L cartouche de toner compatible noire - Moustache® - 1/paquet

4/5

Ordered this to replace another MLTD105LC compatible toner cartridge ordered last 2018. So yes, it took me about 4 years to need a replacement. The older moustache brand cartridge still had some toner left but I was getting some uneven banding on printouts indicating that the old cartridge was nearly spent. Since I've had a good experience before with this brand, I decided to reorder. When the new cartridge arrived, I immediately installed it. Unfortunately, I was getting a red led error message on the printer. The problem with these samsung printers (now owned by HP) is that they have a chip on the toner-drum combo that tells the printer either the cartridge package is not compatible, the toner is depleted or the drum has outlived its life. The message is cryptic (no actual description of the error other than a LED error indicator). If I reinstall the old cartridge, the printer works fine. If I install the new cartridge, the LED will light up after a few seconds. So it looks like the chip wasn't being detected properly. A quick chat with customer support confirmed the possibility and they immediately offered to either to RMA the cartridge and receive a replacement or get a full refund. I decided to get the refund and purchase a new printer from Shopper+ instead. I am sure a new cartridge would have resolved my issue but I was in a rush to print a lot of documents. I don't really print often, but when I do, its generally at least a 100 or so pages. Anyway, despite the cartridge not working, I still gave the product 4 stars because of the type of customer service I received.

Pantum® Imprimante laser multifonction M7107DW (WLAN)

4/5

Ordered this printer recently when my old Samsung Printer (now owned by HP) started acting up periodically. I still need to print a few documents every now and then and a colour inkjet would probably have its ink dry up first before me being able to actually use them. A laser just makes sense because the powdered toner will remain usable even after sitting for a long time. At the time of purchase (March 2022), there still seems to be a shortage on brand-name laser printers. A recent trip to several local big-box stores yielded no stocks available. Only units available are the $500 up models. This printer is about half the price of similar models with the same features. Consumables are also about the same (or cheaper) than other branded models. I have not used any Pantum printers before but they seem to have good reviews online. The M7100DW is a fairly large printer yet still compact enough for a desk. It measures (at their longest side) approx 14" (height) x 16" (width) x 13 (depth). However, the paper tray is a little bit "weird". At it's default, it sits flush with the printer, however, when you load standard letter size paper (8.5 x 11), you need to slide a blue tab on the paper carrier so that it extends and protrudes through the back of the printer. This effectively increases the depth of the printer to about 15". So even though the base is initially small, you would need as much as 17" to have adequate clearance esp for Legal size paper. (see pictures). Personally, I prefer this setup instead of having a paper tray that opens up and extends from the front of the printer. There is also a front manual feed tray should you just need to print a few sheets. The printer function works well. It is fast to warm up and printout is satisfactorily fast. (Definitely faster than my old samsung and okidata lasers). It comes with a "starter" toner cartridge. I printed about 45 pages of tax docs and the remaining toner indicator says it has about 97%. Extrapolating that should give you about 1000 pages depending on coverage and toner save settings. Printing can be set to full duplex (both sides of paper) so that's a big plus. The top panel has an ADF (automatic document feeder) but this only works on one side so it's not a duplex scanner. The toner and drum are separate, Toners are advertised as 1500 (pages) standard yield, 3000 high yield and 6000 extra high yield (5% coverage). The drum is expected to last about 12000 pages. The printer is relatively heavy at about 25 lbs. (11+ kg). It also consumes large amounts of power at startup so plug it directly to a wall outlet or a rated power bar. Do not use cheap extensions cords. It draws a lot of power (around 8.4 amps) when actively receiving a print job. A typical household outlet is rated for about 15amps. Fortunately, there is a power save setting that puts the printer to sleep in as little as a minute. There is also a timeout/power down setting that you can adjust. Connection is via ethernet, wireless/wifi or direct usb. I have this on ethernet and it works well. I have even changed the default IP settings to match my home network. Wireless printing works well enough (tested this using several iOS devices). I have not tested it on usb (but it does include a usb cable in the package). The printer has lots of features and settings. It even has a scan direct to usb flash drive functions. Unfortunately, there is very little documentation that came with the printer. There is a driver CD that has an older version of the paper manual. The included printed documentation is just a quick-start 2-page English instructions. Overall, so far so good. Print quality is satisfactory. Scan quality is a little faint (lighter than normal) but still clear enough.

Tapis de chaise avec rebord pour tapis, fond à pointes, PVC - Moustache® - 900mm x 1200mm

4/5

I converted one of the rooms at my house as a home office / work from home. There are currently 3 desks back to back and all have heavy manager-style seats. The seats are very comfortable but their weight makes them rolling on the carpeted (medium pile) floor very difficult. You would really have to push yourself out to get the chair from under the table. I have a flat ikea kolon chair mat (47" x 39") which is designed for a flat wood floor. It works because I am able to tuck it underneath desks and furniture - except for one corner that always lifts up and trips me occasionally. Enter the moustache PVC chair mat. It is a little bit smaller than the other mat. This mat has cutouts on one edge for feet placement and this feature makes the mat feel a little bit smaller at 47" x 35". The width isn't a big issue because chair movement for me is basically front to back only. The biggest advantage of this chair mat are the 3mm spikes that dig into the carpet and allow it to not move around. I don't really have to tuck this mat under the furniture to stay put. The thickness of the mat itself is no different than my other mat (2mm) however, the old mat is made of PET/ polyurethane plastic while the Moustache mat is made from recycled PVC / polyvinyl chloride which by itself is naturally a slippier surface. The biggest disadvantage for me what that the Moustache mat arrived in a roll while the kolon mat was shipped flat. This made the moustache mat very difficult to flatten. The colder temperature (mid-December) did not help and laying it just on the floor wasn't enough because the spikes are doing too good of a job grabbing onto the carpet. However, after about 2 weeks of use and having the chair rolling over it, the mat has flattened out significantly. Previously, the chair casters would fall into the channel and be difficult to move, but much of that has been resolved. It probably also helped that I have the room thermostat turned up during the daytime when I'm working in the room. The mat is a big improvement. The mat itself is still not as flat as my other chair mat (as you can see in the picture where I encircled the undulations in red), but I am sure continued use and warmer weather will help later on. Overall I am quite happy with this mat. Price was excellent compared to other places.

Support de bureau à double moniteur pour les moniteurs 13 "-27" - PrimeCables®

5/5

Built like a tank ! I needed to mount 2 older Samsung square monitors that are relatively heavier than most monitors of the same size. I needed to mount this on an ikea desk that has a center hole for cable management. I could not use the clamp mounting system since the desk has a solid back so I was planning on just using the bolt-through mounting. However, when the unit arrived, I was pleasantly surprised that I could mount in without drilling a hole. I mock mounted it using the following configuration: Pole (PB) > Desk clamp Part 1 (PC), the desk itself with the large hole > base plate (PF), Pad (PG) and then the bolt part of the desk clamp part 2 (PD). See illustration. At first I was concerned that the stand will not be secure but upon hand tightening, everything stayed put and worked. I would not be able to move or budge the pole. It is very secure ! This mounting worked for me because parts PC and PF were slightly bigger than the hole and were able to clamp around tightly around the hole. The mounting itself is built very well. Black textured powder coating on everything. All the parts fit without any issues and the arms articulate smoothly. The arms include 2 cable management clips each (total of 4) and the pole has a wire guide as well. This wire guide doubles as a holder for the allen wrenches (3 included / see red arrow) for adjusting the tensions. Enough bolts and washers for the most common vesa hole sizes (M4x8 and M5x10mm). Everything is included in the package except a 10mm wrench for adjusting the bolts for the vesa tilt mounting. For the price you cannot go wrong with this dual monitor mount. It works very well and should outlast your monitors.

My printer still has the original "starter" cartridges and even though the black was showing about 10-20% ink left, I cannot get it to print out anything. Ordered these and they worked great out of the box. One or two cleaning cycles and I had printouts that were as good as original ink cartridges for about half the price. My only qualm is that this is still a bit more expensive than other oem / replacement cartridges for epson printers. But this was expected for a newer printer and like I said, this set cost less than half of an original branded set.

Existing toner cartridge was already making squeaking noises and slightly uneven printouts. It was time for a replacement cartridge but a brand new original cartridge cost more than twice as much. I tried this and it worked great. No more noise. No more uneven printouts. Works just as good as an original at a much more economical price
