Recycled Cartridges

By Bradd Alan


Whether it is an original equipment manufacturer, or a recycled toner cartridges, the life of the cartridges is very short. It doesn't matter if you are regularly using the printer or it is left out. The cartridge of the laser toner will be thrown out within a span of 2 years from the time you purchase it. There must be a reason behind the spoilage of the cartridge. Before knowing the reason behind the spoilage of the toner cartridge it is important to know the usage of a toner. The toner cartridge is a device that is used in a printer to print thing on the paper.

The work of a toner is the same as a printer ink that is put in the ink cartridge. Both the regular cartridge and the toner cartridge are made to do the same thing but there are a lot of differences in them. A toner cartridge is prepared using carbon and the plastic as the main constituents. The working of the toner cartridge is pretty simple. When the heating drum of the printer crosses over the toner the constituent of the cartridge combine together, melts down and gets imprinted on the paper.

There is a big environmental benefit for recycling the cartridges. Recycling saves lot of natural resources. Almost all the raw materials used in the manufacturing of new products are used while refurbishing the printer cartridge. The condition of the printer decides how many time can it be refilled. Though the cartridge can be refilled for maximum of 6 times the remanufacturers recycle the cartridge for ones to maintain its quality.

In the preparation of a single cartridge lots of fossil fuels are used, which results in the emission of lots of greenhouse gases. Recycling does not involve the processes involved in the production of new cartridges. So it prevents the production of greenhouse gases. Other benefits of recycling cartridges are it conserves other resources i.e. timber, aluminium and other resources used while manufacturing of the cartridge.

The thrown away empty cartridges also contain the left out ink in them which might enter the soil and pollute the underground water also contaminate the land. The recycling companies collect these cartridges carefully and dispose the ink carefully.

The recycled cartridges are not only cost you less but you also get quality printing. The recycled cartridge reduces most of the printing costs. It also holds more ink compared to the traditional cartridges. Moreover the quality of printing you get is the same as you find from the regular printers. With the increased importance given to the recycling of cartridges, companies also offer to give money in turn of your used cartridges. The more used cartridges you send to the remanufacturers the more money you get from them, some of it is also donated to certain charities.

You can purchase toner cartridges in bulk quantity that can help you to get discounts on purchase. Simply store the cartridges at proper places with proper and suitable conditions, in proper storage containers and you can use the toner cartridge forever.

If you put them on proper storage facilities and use them one after another, the toner cartridge will work the same. In fact the toner cartridge works perfectly even with the cheap inks. Just a caution if you use cheap ink then make sure you clean the cartridge frequently this will help you to extend the life of the toner cartridge.
