One reason is that it it is everyone's responsibility to recycle whenever possible, Every OEM discarded toner toner cartridge adds nearly three pounds of waste to the world's landfills. Buying compatible brand toner cartridges save an estimated 4 million cubic feet of land fill space every year. That empty OEM toner cartridge core that would have been discarded in the landfill can be used many more times by replacing all of the durable components in the empty cartridge and filling with new toner. So buying compatible brand toner cartridges has a substantial and positive impact on our landfills and environment.
The other reason is the cost factor which results in substantial savings for the consumer. Compatible products are a fraction of the cost of an OEM product. So why not recycle and help the environment while saving money at the same time?
What are OEM products? OEM stands for original equipment of the manufacturer. The company that manufactures the printer, copier or fax machine usually manufactures the OEM cartridges for their machines. OEM cartridges are manufactured in ISO 9000/9001 certified factories. OEM cartridges may contain some recycled parts.
What are Compatible Brand products? Compatible brand cartridges are similar to OEM cartridges and will work in the same machine as the OEM product but cost less than the OEM product. A generic or aftermarket company usually manufactures compatible cartridges. Our Premium quality compatible toner cartridges are manufactured in ISO 9000.9001 certified factories. All compatible toner cartridges are not created equal! Many compatibles are not manufactured in ISO 9000.9001 factories and may be of poor quality an subject to high failure rate.
Will using compatible products in my office machines void my warranty? Using a compatible product will not void your warrant on your machine. Federal law prohibits any company or manufacturer from requiring you to purchase only their OEM products in order for the machine warranty to be retained. The Federal Trade Commission protects your rights as a consumer to purchase the product or services of your choice. Your rights as a consumer are protected under the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act and the Sherman-Clayton Antitrust Act passed in 1975. (See Our Resources Page)
