Counterfeit ink and toner have been allowed to flood the market, firstly because they are literally half the price of legitimate OEM ink and toner. Consumers see the attractive price tag and think they’re getting a great deal, whereas in fact not only are they buying a fake product, but they’re leaving their printer to all sorts of potential damage like ink and toner leaks etc. as these products use sub-standard components and cheap ink and toner.

Turning Cartridges into Cash and Other “Greening” Tips for Home Office Users
What does it mean to go “green” at home? When most people think of conserving resources they think of turning off the lights when you don’t need them, lowering the heat and wearing warm clothes in the winter or using power saving appliances that use less energy. The kitchen and bathroom is not the only place to go green – follow these simple tips to green your home office, reduce waste and impact your bottom line at the same time. Choose recycled paper. Buy paper that has the most recycled post consumer content. This means the paper has already been recycled before. Most printers today come with a duplex printing feature that allows you to automatically print on both sides of the paper. This is a great feature to cut your paper use by 50%. If you own a home office shredder, don’t just throw away the shredded paper – it makes great packaging material to store fragile home goods or even to pack goods for shipping. Lastly, keep a box in your office dedicated for paper recycling. Reuse ink and toner cartridges. Did you know that millions of ink and toner cartridges end up in the landfill year after [...]
