Cartridges for Dell printers

We bought two Dell printers (an 1110 black and white and a colour 1320c) and then realised that the cartridges are not available from our regular suppliers, but only from Dell online.

Not only this, but they are also rather expensive.

Is there an alternative (either another supplier or look-alike cartridges)?

Toner cartridges for laser printers never come cheap. However they do last for a long time (compared with inkjet ink cartridges). Dell ship their printers with 'starter' cartridges, which are only half full. Any cartridge you buy should last about twice as long as the starter cartridge. (That certainly applies to the 1100, which definitely comes with only a half-full cartridge. I'm assuming that the same is true of the 1320c).

There are loads of firms which supply 'remanufactured' toner cartridges. e.g. this one:

However, I'm unable to recommend a particular supplier. Unless somebody else can, you'll have to Google 'dell remanufactured 1320c' and 'dell remanufactured 1100' and search through the offers.
