ffutures: (marcus 2013)
I need some toner for my printer, a Ricoh Aficio SPC240dn, the only reasonable price seems to be these guys in Germany. They seem to have excellent feedback, but I've never dealt with them.

What I think this is saying is that they're high-capacity refurbished toners - does it say that they will fit the SPC240dn and the other printers listed, or that they have toners for several different printers, specify which one when you order?

Also, if I want to add an extra black toner am I right to think the postage stays at 11.95 euros?

later - decided to go with the four-toner pack, more black can wait for now.

There's still problems with chemical companies trying to get bee-killing pesticides back in use. This was sent to me today, if you're at all interested (and haven't already done so) please sign the petition:

Our bees are in danger again. Toxic chemical companies are trying to get their banned pesticides back on UK fields. The government are currently considering an application to lift the ban on bee-killing chemicals for some crops planted this autumn. [1]

Please can you sign the petition right now demanding that we keep the ban on bee-killing pesticides?

The powerful pesticides which Europe banned last year are called neonicotinoids - and they pose a huge risk to bees. Last month an influential group of scientists concluded that these banned pesticides don’t just kill bees, they wreak “havoc” with other insects and plants in the countryside too. [2]

A huge petition will make it clear to the environment minister, Liz Truss, that she still needs to protect our bees, not the toxic profits of bee-killing chemical companies. Please add your name to the petition now.

Thanks, I hope you can be involved.

PS: Bees pollinate apples, cucumbers, strawberries, tomatoes, cauliflowers, onions, cabbages, broccoli, carrots and many many more of our fruit and veg. Without bees, we wouldn’t last very long! So please help stop this new threat to their survival - sign the petition now:

The 2-year EU-wide temporary ban was effective from December 2013, and will be reviewed later this year. The government can overturn the ban in ‘emergency’ circumstances - chemical company Syngenta sought to do this last year.
