In doing so, they have inadvertently – or not – spread massive amounts of misinformation about these cost-saving replacements for OEM cartridges. You can’t blame them – after all, they’re simply protecting their installed base. But as conscious consumers, you owe it to yourself to find out the facts about these printer supplies so you can make an intelligent decision about your office supply purchases. Fact or Fiction? The Real Truth About Remanufactured Printer Cartridges If you're looking for ways to save up to 40% on printing costs, you may have considered using remanufactured ink or toner cartridges at some point. If so, you may have also come across dire warnings of the many problems you may face if you choose to go with third-party cartridges, such as: Remanufactured Cartridges Will Void Your Printer's Warranty Perhaps the most common myth regarding remanufactured ink and toner cartridges is that using them will void your printer's warranty. While many OEM manufacturers may want you to think that to discourage you from purchasing supplies out of your reach, the simple answer is: No. Using remanufactured ink or toner cartridges will not void your printer's warranty. Consumer laws, such as the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, protect your rights as a consumer. Magnuson-Moss states that a manufacturer cannot void a product's warranty for the use of aftermarket consumables such as ink and toner cartridges. Remanufactured cartridges do not perform at the same level as OEMs Not all remanufactured cartridges are created equal. Clover Imaging Group produces remanufactured ink and toner cartridges under a rigorous, multi-step manufacturing process that features proprietary filling and sealing techniques. Cartridges are also third-party tested by Buyers Laboratory (BLI), a leader in business consumer advocacy and a global independent testing lab for office equipment. In our most recent page yield, image quality and reliability tests, the results measured favorably against the OEM competitor, and our ongoing yield numbers met or exceeded OEM standards. If you choose Clover Imaging Group cartridges, the performance is equal to or better. Additionally, Clover Imaging offers a 100% performance guarantee, so you can be confident that you will get the high-quality output you demand. Remanufactured Cartridges May Expose You to Legal Action In an effort to prevent the proliferation of non-OEM ink and toner cartridges in the market, major printer manufacturers such as Canon and others have filed and continue to file trademark infringement lawsuits against third-party manufacturers, consumers, and businesses that purchase their products. With Clover Imaging Group remanufactured cartridges, all cartridges are IP cleared and all resellers are indemnified against OEM litigation. At Clover Imaging Group, we have proprietary robotics and process automation that can provide consistent, high-quality results without infringing on OEM patents, so there is no risk of legal action for our customers. Remanufactured cartridges are the same as compatible cartridges While you may think the difference is simply semantics, there is a big difference between remanufactured and compatible cartridges. Bottom line: The difference between remanufactured and compatible ink and toner cartridges is the health of our planet. Remanufactured cartridges are OEM cartridges that have been through a cycle of use. They have been saved from ending up in a landfill, cleaned, and all useful parts harvested. Once they are refilled with ink, they are checked and tested for quality, and if they are created by Clover Imaging Group, they are backed by a 100% performance guarantee. Reuse is the highest form of recycling because it is more sustainable, reduces landfill waste, preserves valuable natural resources, and saves energy. Compatible cartridges are brand new cartridges created from scratch by a third-party supplier. Ready to experience the high-quality, cost-saving difference that Clover Imaging Group remanufactured cartridges can deliver? Clover Imaging Group is not just a leader in the printing and imaging industry. We also strongly believe that manufacturers and businesses must take action to protect the delicate health of our planet. To do this, we make products, like our remanufactured ink and toner cartridges, that are not only high-quality, cost-effective, and reliable, but also emphasize sustainability. Our cartridges use 99% recycled material overall and consume 52% less natural resources and 59% less energy in the manufacturing process, resulting in a 53% lower carbon footprint than OEMs. Plus, our proprietary closed-loop environmental reuse process keeps potentially hazardous waste out of the remanufactured cartridges. **Autor: Clover Latam** #### Clover Imaging ###### Blog posts ## Related Articles.
