Compatible Supplies

Toner and imaging supply costs can add up very fast. There are many compatible products available at a lower price. Listed below are a few common questions and answers.

What are they?

Re-built (or remanufactured) toner cartridges can offer significant cost savings to the savvy consumer. These products are sometimes referred to as "aftermarket" or "3rd party" supplies.

What are the potential savings?

Product savings can vary from 10% - 60%.

Will my warranty be voided?

No, the use of aftermarket toner or supplies cannot void your equipment’s warranty (unless your machine is under a service contract)--this is against Federal anti-trust laws.

Are all aftermarket products the same?

No, many companies have strict quality control in their manufacturing process to insure a high level of quality while others do not. The larger, more reputable companies have defect rates of approximately 6% or less.

What are "compatible products"?

Lexmark, Dataproducts, and Xerox all manufacture compatible toner cartridges to be used in Hewlett Packard LaserJet printers. These products are a lower-priced alternative to new HP products.

Where should I begin?

The use of aftermarket products in your office equipment is an excellent way to lower overhead costs. It is recommended, however, that you first try out the product (1 or 2 units) to see if it meets your expectations.
