Re-filling toner cartridges is one way that consumers can save money on their printer ink cartridges costs, however it is not as easily done as it seems. There is more to the printer toner cartridges than toner. There may be chips and sensors too. You will probably get printing problems if the sensors are not reset properly. Personally I do not and would not refill toner cartridges, it is time consuming and not as simple as its made out to be.
The improvement in the technology of manufacturing of compatible inkjet cartridges has meant that they can be as good as genuine inkjet cartridges. To reduce the risk of problems, make sure that you find a manufacturer with a reliable product. You may be surprised to find out that some compatible ink cartridges have comparable yield and printing quality to OEM ink cartridges. A manufacturer that has ISO 9001 certification is highly desirable to ensure that good practices are followed in making the compatible ink cartridges. The poor performance of toner cartridges made by companies that use poorly qualified technicians can lead to a lack of confidence in compatible ink cartridges. The trends in compatible inkjet cartridges is that there been a major increase in the growth of companies making compatible cartridges.
The use of remanufactured printer cartridges has the added advantage of being good for the environment. The production of most goods these days is geared toward a "disposable" consumer. Thank goodness there are programs, like recycled inkjet cartridges that reduce the amount of raw materials thatare used and re-use parts that do not need to be discarded. Re-cycled toner cartridges re use those parts of printer toner cartridges, including unused printer ink, and reproduce a remanufactured printer toner cartridge that has the same qualities as the original ink cartridge, but will cost less. Whilst you will save money by using remanufactured cartridges, but you will also be assisting to save the earth.
The growth of companies that produce remanufactured ink cartridges can be attributed to companies awareness of reducing costs and that recycling can have an effect on the environment. You should always try to find a reliable manufacturer that has good warranty and has been around for a while when looking for a compatible ink printer cartridge manufacturer, if you are looking to save money, buying from an unknown supplier may cost you more in the long run.
My experience is that the best savings are achieved when you buy reputable remanufactured or compatible cartridges from a good quality supplier. The quality of the print and the yield(pages per cartridge) from using compatible or re manufactured cartridges has ensured that I have had good savings using compatible or remanufactured toner toner cartridges.
I would highly commend reviewing using re-cycled cartridges as a possible choice to other inkjet cartridges, You should enjoy great success using recycled printer cartridges, particularly when using one made by a good quality manufacturer with a reputation for quality products. Just a bit of study will help uncover printer ink cartridges company that uses great products and will help you to save money.
