A Run Down on Remanufactured Cartridges
Remanufactured cartridges – you’ve heard all about them but if you’re still unclear about exactly what they are, how they’re made and how they compare to branded cartridges, read on. OEM or branded ink and toner manufacturers produce cartridges that are one-use, meaning that you can use the cartridge only once and then you either throw it out or if you care about the planet, give it in for recycling. You’ll be surprised at how many people just throw out an empty cartridge and replace it with a new one. The cartridges that are sent in for recycling are adopted by third party manufacturers who have made it their business to refurbish empty cartridges. What is a remanufactured toner cartridge? It is an OEM or branded cartridge that undergoes recycling and is refilled with fresh toner. Most OEM brands including HP, Canon, Samsung, Brother and Lexmark are all able to be refurbished. It’s extending the life of a cartridge and prolonging its life cycle. How are toner cartridges remanufactured? Empty cartridges are collected, sorted and in the remanufacturing facility they are opened and dismantled. All broken or damaged components are replaced with new ones and then the cartridge is reassembled [...]

Toner Cartridges – A Flashback in History
Available in black and three sporting colours – magenta, yellow and cyan – the toner cartridge has become a staple in today’s modern office. The first toner cartridge technology emerged around 35 years ago in the late seventies. Looking back now most people may not have envisioned how toner would evolve and where it would take the printing industry decades later. Toner technology was accepted by the major printer brands, because toner was fast drying, was more cost-effective to consumers when they printed in volumes and because the brands made good money in recurring toner cartridge sales month after month. But toner cartridges weren’t always replaceable back in the day. Upon their arrival, printers were constructed with built in fixed toner cartridges, so much so that they could not be removed. When users realized that they had to replace the entire printer when the toner ran out, this method became redundant almost, with no one wanting to pay a high price over and over again. The first toner cartridges only came in black, and in fact black toner is still one of the most popular toner choices in the market today. Colour toner cartridges can prove to be expensive, even [...]

The Battle Between Big Label Branded Cartridges and Replacement Ink and Toner
Do you feel you pay a bit too much for branded ink and toner? It’s no hidden fact that most printer manufacturers make their money on recurring ink and toner sales and not on actual printer sales. This information can be backed by browsing through blog posts on popular printing and technology websites and by checking printer company financial reports. The cost of ink weighs in at thousands of dollars per gallon much higher than other consumables like ink or even gas for your car. Over the years, third-party and aftermarket printer manufacturers have developed their own line of compatible cartridges that can help consumers save 30-50% off the cost of buying OEM with no loss of printing quality. This did not sit well with the major brands. There has been a constant attack by the big labels on third party suppliers to curb the production and selling of compatible toner. The attacks come in the form of court battles for infringing on patents and more recently embedding chips in the cartridge itself to detect low ink levels – a move to curb people from using aftermarket cartridges as they can at times not be detected by the printer.
