Remanufactured Toner Cartridges A Viable Option For Your Print Device?

Both original (OEM) and remanufactured ("reman") toner cartridges are viable options for your copier, MFP and printer needs.

OEM cartridges are attractive because they're manufactured by the same vendor as your copier or printer and offer the highest print quality.

However, remanufactured toner is attractive because it's usually cheaper than OEM and lowers landfill waste because they use recycled toner.

So, which is better? Here's our analysis based on 27 years of offering managed print services (MPS) to clients nationwide.

OEM Toner Cartridges

Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) toner cartridges are manufactured specifically for a particular make or model of printer by that company. For example, an HP OEM cartridge is made for a HP printer. They are usually manufactured using a combination of both new and recycled parts at factories throughout the world – so there's a more environmental approach than reman toner manufacturers would have you believe.

Many business owners prefer to play it safe with original cartridges. They're reliable and you know exactly what you’re getting, but they usually cost more.

Remanufactured Toner Cartridges

The principal appeal of remanufactured toner cartridges is their lower cost and reduced carbon footprint. More than one manufacturer has reported that each remanufactured cartridge keeps roughly three pounds of waste out of landfills and saves three quarts of oil.

However, remanufactured toner cartridges may not work properly with your copier or printer, or may not give you the same print quality.
