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. Otherwise they are to be dumped in landfill which is danger to our environment.
Q. 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.
A remanufactured cartridge is a cartridge that has been
1.Completely disassembled
2.All components inspected, separated and cleaned
3.New drum installed or used drum is tested using the LT-777 testing machine
4.New wiper blade installed
5.New magnetic roller installed or used magnetic roller is tested using
the LT-777 testing machine
6.Toner container filled with new toner to original specifications
7.Toner container sealed with pull-out strip to prevent leakage
8.Cartridge reassembled and tested on proper equipment
9.These cartridges are in effect are rebuilt from the ground up.
Q. What is smart chip or page counter chip?
A. Smart chips are installed in some cartridges by OEM manufacturer to keep track of supply status.
Cartridge will stop functioning when the chip is used up and prompt you to install a new cartridge.
Our cartridges come with compatible chips and they work as well as OEM chips.
Q. 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. Refilled vs. Remanufactured
Cartridges? 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.
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 cartridge 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.
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."
