Paperless office? As personal computers began to spread in the 1980s many began predicting businesses using little to no paper. However, as companies became more email and computer intensive they actually generated 40-50% more paper! This is great news for the world’s large printer and copier companies – HP, Canon, Lexmark, Apple, Ricoh, Xerox, Brother and IBM. This has also spawned an entire industry focused on the sale and remanufacturing of parts for laser printers, copiers and fax machines. One of the largest segments of this market are new and remanufactured toner and inkjet cartridges. So should you buy remanufactured cartridges or new printer cartridges from the manufacturer? This decision is up to you. A quality supplier will offer both new laser, inkjet or bubble jet printer toner cartridges and remanufactured laser, inkjet or bubble jet printer toner cartridges for selection and convenience. A high quality remanufactured printer toner cartridge has the same or better success rate than new printer toner. The final point to keep in mind in the remanufactured toner/inkjet vs. new toner/inkjet debate is the environmental impact. Each toner cartridge equals .5 quarts of oil and is made up of four pounds of non-biodegradable parts that will pollute the environment forever. Every time you use a recycled laser toner cartridge or inkjet cartridge, you help reduce the amount of plastic trash thrown into our landfills. |
