Sounds like you could remove the leftover toner from the first canister and add it to a second one after some use, reducing waste and not having the darkness issues.

But they're not refillable, you might say. Usually they're thinwalled plastic, nothing a little knife and some duct tape can't solve.

I am big on antiwaste, but if you have ever accidentally released toner, you realize that it's a very fine powder that aerosolizes easily and stains everything it touches.
