1. What is a compatible
toner cartridge?
A
compatible toner cartridge is a new toner cartridge manufactured by a third party. It
is guaranteed to be as good as your original laser printer toner cartridge. The toner cartridge is manufactured
to the exact specifications of your laser printer.
2.
Will a compatible toner cartridge void my manufacturer's warranty?
Absolutely not! It is against the law for a company to prevent
you from using a compatible toner cartridge in your laser printer. In the United States, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty
Act of 1975 protects your printer warranty.
3. Can a compatible toner cartridge really save me
money?
The most expensive part of owning a
laser printer is purchasing toner cartridges. You can expect to pay seven times more for your toner cartridges than
you paid for your laser printer. Over the five year life expectancy, compatible toner cartridges will cut your cost
in half.
4. Are all compatible toner cartridges the
same?
Compatible toner cartridges are not created equal.
Reputable toner cartridge companies test their
compatible toner cartridges very carefully to insure you will get the same quality and number of pages as your
original toner cartridge. The company money back guarantee and shelf life guarantee are usually good indicators of
the quality of the compatible toner cartridge.
5. Can a compatible toner cartridge damage my
laser printer?
A toner cartridge can do very little damage to a laser printer. It is possible, but highly unlikely, for a toner
cartridge to leak and cause streaking on your paper. However, a simple cleaning and replacement of the toner
cartridge will resolve the problem.
Note: If streaking ever occurs when you first use your compatible toner cartridge, contact support.
6. What is the
shelf life of a compatible toner cartridge?
Most compatible toner cartridges are guaranteed for at least one year. Don't
purchase toner cartridges from companies that offer less than a one year warranty.
7. Will
a compatible toner cartridge print the same number of pages?
Reputable toner cartridge
companies use equipment that is designed to fill their compatible cartridges to the exact OEM specification of
the laser printer. The industry standard is 5% page coverage. You can adjust density and resolution to maximize
your printer performance.
8. How do I help the environment by
purchasing compatible toner cartridges?
Each empty toner cartridge adds approximately 4 pounds of waste to a landfill. Because the cartridge is primarily
composed of plastic, it will take over 1,000 years to decompose. In addition, it takes three quarts of oil to
manufacture a new toner cartridge. The economy will save over twenty million gallons of oil a year because of
compatible and remanufactured toner cartridges.
9. Why should I use compatible
toner cartridges rather than OEM toner cartridges?
You will get the same quality and number of pages from a good compatible toner cartridge at nearly half the cost of
an OEM toner cartridge.
10. How are compatible toner
cartridges different from just a few years ago?
The technology used to produce compatible toner
cartridges is now as good as the technology used to create OEM toner cartridges. The days of drill and fill are
over. Reputable toner companies use many of the same components as outlined in OEM specifications, i.e., toner, new
drums, rollers, etc.
11. What does OEM
stand for?
OEM is an abbreviation for 'Original Equipment Manufacturer'. In short, it means the toner
cartridge was manufactured by the same company as the printer.
12. What do OEM manufacturer's say about
compatible toner cartridges?
Most major laser
printer companies spend a lot of money trying to convince you to purchase only their toner cartridges. They are
quick to criticize the use of compatible toner cartridges from third party vendors. I think it is ironic that
many of these major printer companies are now selling their own recycled cartridges... AND you're still paying full
retail price for them! Check the fine print on the package. It will state the cartridge is made from new and
recycled parts!
