Action Ink & Toner FAQ's
Why should I buy a cartridge from Action Ink & Toner?
There are many advantages to buying a cartridge from us: our
remanufactured cartridges have been inspected, the old ink has been
removed and the cartridge has been carefully refilled under pressure.
Our process ensures that you get a complete fill with no air bubbles in your ink-jets, as bubbles can decrease your page
yield. We only sell toner cartridges that have been
ultrasonically welded shut, not closed with a clip.
We have a friendly, knowledgeable staff and our products are priced well below our competitors. All our products and services are 100%guaranteed.

How does remanufacturing
work?
Our manufacturers
painstakingly disassemble, clean, and inspect the cartridges. The
toner cartridges are carefully opened with a laser (not a rotor
saw). Next, they add any necessary replacement parts to each
cartridge. Then high-quality toner powder or ink is added. Toners
are ultrasonically welded (not clipped) shut. Finally, they test
each cartridge and package it for distribution.

How does
remanufacturing help the environment?
Every year, more than 695 million plastic
printer cartridges are dumped in landfills in America and around the
world. While we can never completely stop the cycle of cartridges
entering the waste stream, we can at least stem the flow. That's why
remanufacturing matters. Every
remanufactured cartridge that you buy means one fewer going directly
to the landfill. For every
remanufactured cartridge you purchase, it's one less new cartridge
that needs to be produced.

What
about the ink that you put in the cartridges?
We only use the highest quality inks, designed specifically for each
cartridge. Moreover, with our process, we extract the old ink and
completely refill the cartridge with all the same ink. That prevents
color contamination and gives you a true color.
Please be aware that many companies who sell refill kits will tell
you “One ink fits all;” however, adding the incorrect ink type can
mess up your cartridge.

Will I get the same number of printed pages from a remanufactured
toner cartridge as a new cartridge?
We guarantee you will get at least the same number of printed
pages from our remanufactured cartridges as you will get from a new
cartridge. Some customers even report many more pages of print per
cartridge over their old cartridges – with darker, richer blacks,
too. The OEM's aren't always filled to capacity!

Who uses remanufactured
cartridges?
More than 3
million companies around the world already rely on these quality
products for their printing needs. Remanufactured
cartridges contain high quality components, and give excellent
printing results. That's why you can trust the quality and
reliability of remanufactured cartridges for your day-to-day
printing needs as well as for your most important projects.

How do I know if my laser printer uses a cartridge
that can be remanufactured?
Most can! That's because 80% of the laser
printers on the market today use a Canon-based engine. Canon holds
the patent on the engine and print technology. They manufacture the
engine and cartridge, and sell them to another company (such as
Hewlett Packard or Apple). These companies in turn put their name
and label on it. Basically, the toner cartridges all use the same
engines and frame.

Can I refill my own
cartridge?
Yes, you can. However, it's a difficult and messy process. We sell cartridges already refilled in our retail store and will recycle your old cartridge for you.
Please be of companies who sell "one ink fits all" refill kits. Adding the incorrect ink type can
mess up your cartridge.

How much oil is actually used in the production of cartridges?
Cartridges are mostly made of
plastic and plastic is made from petroleum (oil) products. The
plastic in each toner cartridge takes 3.5 quarts of oil to
fabricate. A new ink-jet cartridge requires 2.5 ounces of oil. In
2002, there were 29.7 million toner cartridges reclaimed; for
ink-jets, that number was 136.5 million. So if you do the math
(which we did), 28.6 million gallons of oil were saved. More
recycling/remanufacturing can save even more oil. We can recycle
your cartridges whether you buy from us or not!
