FAQ’s Ink & Toner

 

What does “OEM” mean?

“OEM” refers to original equipment manufacturer cartridges (i.e., cartridges that contain their original manufacturer’s packaging) bearing the trademark of the company that manufactured and/or markets printer and toner cartridges under the same brand name.

New OEM Cartridges
Toner Connection, LLC carries OEM cartridges on our website, but unless indicated as Genuine OEM, cartridges on our website are new compatible cartridges.

New Compatible Cartridges

Our new compatible cartridges are produced by our ISO 9002/14001 and STMC Certified facilities are manufactured with new parts. These new compatible brands are produced under stringent quality controls and are built to meet or exceed the OEM's specifications. This means simply that our cartridges deliver the highest quality print and yield page output at a reduced cost over an OEM.

 

Remanufactured Cartridges

Remanufactured cartridges are normally produced using reused cartridges. If remanufactured cartridges are rebuilt properly, they can produce high quality results. Unfortunately, in most cases companies are looking for ways to maximize profits and use the "drill and fill" method. Basically, in that process a company will drill a whole and pour in new toner. If this method is used, poor print quality and performance usually follows.

 

Are all compatible toners cartridges the same?

Absolutely not! Unless a cartridge is manufactured within an ISO/STMC certified facility, inconsistency in quality will always be in question. Businesses that simply refills ink & toners cartridge cannot perform the quality cleaning and inspection procedures needed to meet OEM specifications.  

 

Do using compatible or remanufactured cartridges void a manufacturer’s warranty?

No in fact, Congress passed a law to make it illegal for a manufacturer to force you to buy certain supplies. If allowed, this would lead to a monopoly, high prices and lack of competition. (Magnuson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act)

 

Am I really helping the environment by using remanufactured cartridges?

Definitely, as remanufactured cartridges are made from empty collected cartridges your lowering the impact on the environment:

• 70% to 90% of the components from a recycled cartridge are used again.*
  • Compared to the CO² generated by the production of an original cartridge, you reduce the CO² emission by 60%.*
    • Compared to the amount of energy used for the production of an original cartridge, you save more than 30% of energy.*

      Is Toner dangerous for your health?

      Be very careful when handling laser toner or toner cartridges. Toner cartridges typically contain tiny particles or fibers and often become airborne. If inhaled these particles could be dangerous to your health. Don’t try and refill cartridges yourself without the proper training and equipment.
