Laser printers are a necessity in the modern office environment. Like all electronic components these high speed machines need proper maintenance and periodical replacement of consumable parts. All this involves recurring cost besides the initial capital expenditure on purchase of printers. Also the technology is rapidly changing which renders the new printer obsolete in 2-3 years time Outsourcing is an economical and unique solution for all such problems. We provide color laser/high speed network mono laser printers/normal entry level laser printers and all-in-one print scan copy and fax laser printers. Our installation base in Mumbai alone has crossed 2000 such printers.

2. • If you are the proud owner of a laser printer, you
may have already taken a step in the right direction
towards lower cost printing. However, what you
might not know is that laser printers can work with
re-manufactured toners.

3. OEM Toner VS LNI Toner
• Disadvantages of Buying OEM Toner
• The main disadvantage of buying OEM branded toner cartridges is the relatively high cost. While
they are economical because the cost per page is low, purchasing an OEM toner might cost you
anywhere from Rs.3900/- to 19000/-. The initial cost of laser printers has come down but printer
makers make up their low initial profit by in the cost of consumables.
• Another problem with OEM toner cartridges is the fact that we live in an Eco conscious world and
discarding toner cartridges which are not biodegradable is an environmental hazard. Buying a
remanufactured toner is more environmentally friendly.
Advantages of buying Remanufactured Toner
• The biggest advantage of using compatible toner cartridges is they are a lower cost consumable.
Compatible and Remanufactured toner cartridges are available for laser printers and give good
quality printing at a lower cost – sometimes even half the cost of the branded cartridge.
• These Re-manufactured cartridges are much more eco friendly and mean that we can recycle the
biodegradable cartridge. They are now easy to find and buy. There are compatible toner cartridges
for most brands of laser printers and give good value for money. Print quality of both compatible
and remanufactured toner cartridges is almost as good as the OEM brand toners.

4. Beware of Refilled Toner
Refilling Vs Remanufacturing Cartridge
Refillers never change any of the above mentioned components.
Refillers generally have no access to high quality engine specific powder and sometimes they use harsh photocopy
powder, which leads to premature fuser unit wear.
Mid cycle failure is very common in refilling.
Output is very low in a refilled cartridge. Our cartridges give same output as that of a OEM.
Refilled cartridges generally leak, leading to printer damage. Our cartridges never leak.

8. FAQ’s
Q. Will the use of Re-manufactured cartridges void my printer warranty?
A: Absolutely no!
It’s important to note that it’s illegal for a laser printer manufacturer to require
you to use or purchase a particular brand of cartridge, just as it’s illegal for a car
dealer to require that only original parts to be used to fix your car. An OEM
cannot void your warranty simply because you choose different brand of
supplies for a piece of equipment like a printer.
In a media interview in early February 2003, HP Senior VP of Printer Supplies Mr.
Pradeep Jotwani made HPs views, while commenting on the Digital Millennium
Copyright Act (DCMA) used by Lexmark to lock out supplies market, stated the
following:
HP would not be following down the path of using chips as a lockout device.
There should be a place (in the market) for those companies that sell
remanufactured cartridges and kits for ink jets.
Customer choice governs the buying decision between new OEM or
remanufactured cartridges.
HP consciously makes sure that its cartridges can be reused.
For more details on the above, please refer to the advertisement of M/s. Static
control Components Inc., USA appearing regularly in the form of an "open letter
to the industry from Ed Swartz, CEO of Static Control Components Inc., USA". The
advertisement regularly appears in "Recharger magazine" USA.

9. Q. My vendor suggests that he can refill a cartridge 2 to 3 times and then
probably go for a new or Re-manufactured cartridge. Is true?
A: Any component in an OEM cartridge is rated for single use. Reusing
the critical components would either mean that you would have mid cycle
failure, or a faulty cleaning blade might lead to powder spillage in the printer
leading to fuser unit damage. The opc drum might develop dots which might
show on the printout, and subsequently you would change the cartridge mid
way. Here you loose money on refilling and get poor prints with which you
have to compromise. Re-manufactured cartridges give same output as an
OEM. Refilled cartridges give only almost 35% output when compared to OEM
or Re-manufactured.
Q. How does a Re-manufactured cartridge help the environment?
A: Recycling both laser and ink jet cartridges reduces the amount of non-
biodegradable plastic in landfills. Additionally, the manufacturing process
used to create new cartridges depends heavily on fossil fuels.

10. Q. My Printer Maintenance guy says that the use of such cartridges would
damage the printer. Shouldn't I listen to him?
A: Many printer engineers presume that the cartridge is a refilled
cartridge. The concept of recycling is new and it is catching up fast, both with
the support industry as well as the end users. Their previous experiences with
a refilled cartridge might have been really poor, as they would have had to
clean a lot of components due to the powder spillage from a refilled cartridge.
The awareness is increasing and a lot of technicians in fact are now in favor of
such Re-manufactured cartridges instead of refilled cartridges or for that
matter the OEMs. There are substantial savings and no spillages. Your cost of
the printer is recovered within 5 to 10 purchases of Re-manufactured
cartridges vis a vis OEM.
Q . Is there a downside to Re-manufactured cartridges?
A: No. Using Re-manufactured cartridges saves money, helps preserve the
environment, provides as high a quality product, and helps support local small
businesses.

11. Q. Why don't more businesses recycle?
A: In a word -- education.
(A) The office product recycling industry is relatively new; just 10 years
old. The industry is working diligently to educate the consumer about the
value of Re-manufactured cartridges, and today more than 30% of all
Indian businesses used Re-manufactured cartridges. Quite an
accomplishment in just ten years. Through public relations campaigns,
more and more end-users are realizing the added value of Re-
manufactured cartridge products and services.
(B) Recyclers replace worn parts and upgrade others in the cartridge with
parts that are often superior in quality and performance to those in a new
cartridge.
Q. Are Re-manufactured cartridges inferior to new ones?
A: No. there should be no difference in the print quality or page yield of a
Re-manufactured cartridge. Recyclers use only graphics quality toner and
replacement parts that meet or exceed the OEM standard. Most recyclers
guarantee their products to perform as well or better than new cartridges.

12. Q. Am I really helping the environment by purchasing
Re-manufactured cartridges?
A: Definitely. Each discarded empty laser printer cartridge adds
approximately three pounds of unnecessary waste to our landfills. Waste
that will take as long as 10 centuries to decompose. It is estimated that
100 million laser printer cartridges and 400 million ink jet printer
cartridges are produced each year. Recycling these 500 million cartridges
will save an estimated 4 million cubic feet of landfill space. The office
products recycling industry has made and will continue to contribute a
substantial positive impact upon the environment and the economy
wherever it exists.
Q. Can I really save money by using Re-manufactured cartridges?
A: Yes. As much as 40 to 50 percent, depending on the quantity of
cartridges your company uses, your savings can amount to thousands of
Rupees each year.
