If you are hesitant to purchase remanufactured toner cartridges, compare the purchase to buying a certified used car from a reputable dealer. In order to receive certification, that dealer performs a rigorous series of tests on the car to validate that all mechanical systems are fully functional.

If the car doesn’t meet the standards the dealer will not sell it, it is wholesaled to other dealers and ends up another, less rigorous dealer lot. The ‘certified’ car is re-sold with an extended warranty to enhance the buyers protection and assurance of quality, as well as to guarantee the performance.

From my perspective, purchasing a remanufactured cartridge from a reputable dealer closely parallels that of buying the certified used car. For example: We only buy product from ISO9001 factories. That means the factory is certified for best manufacturing procedures and passes rigorous certifications on a regular basis. In addition our manufacturers use top tier quality parts which insures a minimal failure rate. And, our products come with a one year money back guarantee.  We are completely responsible for the performance of the product. If one of our products leaks or damage our clients machine, we will repair or replace that machine. One of the real keys to this business is understanding who makes the very best products. After five and a half years, we have a small, constantly monitored roster of tremendous suppliers.

Like the car business, There are great and not so great dealers in this business. The key to getting quality is to know the business philosophy of your supplier.  The hardcore and bottom line truth is that you can save up to HALF  on a remanufactured toner vs. new. In today’s economy how can you ignore that kind of saving?

In all honesty, the actual tradeoff is that a quality remanufactured toner will fail on occasion, it happens.  That’s where the integrity and return policy of your supplier matters if you spend $5000 on new toners per year and want to cut your bill by 40% to half off, you can expect to return a faulty cartridge periodically. At Cartridge Elite we replace defects within 48 hours, and in many cases the next day. Until next time!
