HP Toner Cartridges Outperform Cheap Replacements

Laser printers use electrically charged particles of pigment to create finely grained high-resolution printing. The pigment in laser printer toner is so concentrated that the smallest amount gone astray results in a huge printed blurry blotch. When companies take empty toner cartridges and refill them in bulk they are processed through a “go as fast as you can” assembly line. Invariably a little of one colour toner spills into a compartment meant for another. When the refilled cartridge is used for printing this results in tiny colour errors. These may mean nothing if all that the printer is used for is in house proofs or basic production of personal materials. But if one is using a laser printer to create work such as menus for restaurants, corporate reports or heat pressed transfers the quality produced from refilled HP toner cartridges will be totally unacceptable.

Independent studies have show that, on average, filled HP toner cartridges fail to function at all in one out every six attempts. A fatal error has been made during remanufacture. Further, 78% of all refilled HP toner cartridges deliver substandard printing quality in the form of fading, smudges, specks, lines, color shifts and dropouts. These tests were conducted using refill brands from the largest office supply companies in the United Kingdom and the world.
