Why Remanufacture?

When remanufactured by reputable companies exercising good quality control, remanufactured toner cartridges will perform as well as, or better than, new cartridges. We guarantee that the quality of our remanufactured toner cartridges will match or exceed that of an original equipment manufacturer (OEM). Remanufactured toner cartridges will not damage the copy machine or printer. Additionally, antitrust legislation prohibits copier and printer manufacturers from voiding their warranties when remanufactured toner cartridges are used in their machines.

The Remanufacturing Process

In general, used cartridges undergoing remanufacturing are first disassembled and the parts inspected. Key parts are replaced, and the cartridge is cleaned, refilled, and reassembled. Toner cartridges can be remanufactured several times.

Benefits

Remanufactured toner cartridges save money. They cost 30% to 60% less on a per copy basis than non-remanufactured cartridges. The typical used toner cartridge is made of engineering-grade polymers and takes at least 1,000 years to decompose. However, approximately 97% of these combined components can be recycled and reused. It also conserves natural resources by eliminating the need for virgin materials used to make new cartridges. Remanufactured toner cartridges also save energy. Approximately 3 quarts of oil are burned in the production of a single new toner cartridge. A used toner cartridge can remanufactured up to 20 times depending on its type and condition thus potentially saving up to 15 gallons of fuel.

Evaluating Remanufacturers

Not all remanufacturers are reliable and provide quality toner cartridges that meet or exceed OEM standards. Some companies simply drill a hole in the side of the cartridge and refill it with tone failing to clean and repair broken parts. These “drill and fill” operations do not produce quality remanufactured toner cartridges. Also be aware that some products perform better than others. It is important to ask if suppliers install new parts every cycle. Star Business Machines cartridges are carefully rebuilt using all new parts every cycle, ensuring the highest quality.
