Q. Why use Remanufactured Toner Cartridges?
A. Remanufactured cartridges can save 30% to 60% of the cost than OEM cartridges. We guarantee that the quality of our remanufactured toner cartridges will match or exceed that of OEM cartridge. Using remanufactured cartridges promote several environmental benefits: save energy and conserve natural resources by eliminating the need for new components. Most components in a toner cartridge can be recycled. Our remanufactured cartridges use those recyclable components. Otherwise they are to be dumped in landfill which posts danger to our environment.

Q. What are the differences between OEM vs. Remanufactured Toner Cartridges?
A. New or OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) cartridges are made by HP, Canon, Lexmark, Apple, or other original manufacturers. They are usually manufactured using a combination of new and recycled parts at factories throughout the world. For example, on the box of an HP C4127X you can read: “This newly manufactured product may contain parts and materials recovered from the HP Planet Partners recycling program” and on the box of a Canon FX-4: “This cartridge may contain reconditioned parts and remolded materials.”

Remanufactured cartridges are those that have been remanufactured for another use. Remanufacturing process involves disassembling, cleaning, refilling toner, replacing appropriate components, print testing and repackaging. We remanufactured each cartridge to meet or exceed the quality standards of a new cartridge. The Remanufacturing process involves the following steps:
1.Completely disassemble the cartridge.
2.Inspect, separate and clean all the components.
3.Install new drum or test used drum.
4.Install new wiper blade.
5.Install new magnetic roller or test used magnetic roller.
6.Fill toner container with new toner to original specifications.
7.Seal toner container with pull-out strip to prevent leakage.
8.Test reassembled cartridge on proper equipment.
You can see, our cartridges are in effect are rebuilt from the ground up.

Q. What are the differences between Recycled vs. Remanufactured Toner Cartridges?
A. The term “Recycled” is a generic term that does not necessarily refer to the process or technology used to manufacture a product. Both remanufactured cartridges and refilled cartridge (a cartridge that is recycled using drill-n-fill method) can be labeled as recycled cartridges despite huge differences in their recycling processes. Please note that all our cartridges are remanufactured. Please read following FAQ for the difference between a refilled cartridge and one that has been remanufactured.

Q. Do you sell refilled cartridges?
A. No. We do not sell refilled cartridges. All our cartridges are remanufactured. Although some people still think of them as the same, there is a big difference between remanufactured and refilled cartridges.

Q. What are the differences between Refilled vs. Remanufactured Toner Cartridges?
A. Refilled cartridge has been drilled out and refilled with new toner inside which is also known as "drill-n-fill" method. Since the drum and other parts are not reconditioned or replaced, refilled cartridges can cause many problems. Recycled cartridges using "drill-n-fill" method may damage your equipment. In fact, refilled cartridges have given the remanufacturing industry a bad reputation.

Remanufacturing process involves disassembling, cleaning, refilling toner, replacing appropriate components, print testing and repackaging. We remanufactured each of our cartridges to meet or exceed the quality standards of a new cartridge.

Q. Can Original Equipment Manufacturer void my equipment warranty for using a remanufactured cartridge?
A. No. Equipment manufacturers cannot void warranty of your equipment or service contract for using remanufactured cartridges. Current Laws prohibit any manufacturer from requiring you to buy their product exclusively.

For example, here is what HP says: "HP's warranty: For HP printer products, the use of a non-HP toner cartridge or a refilled toner cartridge does not affect either the warranty to the customer or any HP support contract with the customer."
