Reasons not to buy compatible (clone, generic) toner cartridges

There are hidden costs incurred when purchasing clone toner cartridges

The low costs of new build clones are a result of using cheaper plastics with inferior quality in the manufacturing process of the cartridge. This decreases reliability of the toner cartridges, causing more printer issues and ultimately increasing your printer repair costs in the long run.

Compatibles may seem cheap but ultimately have a higher cost of ownership

This is thanks in part to the damage done by the inferior quality build, mentioned previously, and also not getting anywhere near the original brands rated and stated page yields.

Clover Imaging’s remanufactured cartridges are guaranteed to be on par with the original brands. Don’t sacrifice quality for cost. Get the cartridges that offer you both.

Generic cartridges are single use items and are not a green solution

These new build clones can’t be remanufactured or reused due to the poor quality plastic and end up clogging landfills. Not to mention the negative impact on the environment from manufacturing the new cartridges vs. reusing the OEM build. The city of Los Angeles has passed resolution to ban the import and sale of generic toner cartridges and hopefully the rest of the world will soon follow suit.

Remanufactured cartridges on the other hand, can be recycled or remanufactured multiple times. Lean how you can recycle your empty cartridge for free.

Puts your company at risk legally

New build clone cartridges may infringe on original brands patents, putting you and your company at risk. Clover Imaging and EcoTone cartridges respect the intellectual properties of the original manufacturer and are completely legal.
