Remanufactured cartridges made by third-party companies are not all equal to original cartridges and can actually cost more.
According to Buyers Laboratory (BLI), a leading independent test lab and business consumer advocate, the lower average price claimed for remanufactured cartridges translated in a true cost up to 34% higher than the cost of original cartridges. BLI further concluded that a majority of non original toner cartridges tested failed to deliver acceptable performance.
On average, 22% of remanufactured cartridges experienced out of the box failures, 19% experienced quality failures over the life of the cartridge, 20% caused premature fuser replacement or even failure, and only 56% of expected pages actually printed.
When buying your toner and inkjet cartridges, think “true cost”.
