| The toner program enables buyers to
purchase both OEM and high quality compatible toner cartridges. The
buyer donates to the non-profit organization whether they purchase the
familiar OEM cartridge or elect to save up to 30% of the toner cost by
using a compatible cartridge.
There are many myths and
misunderstandings about all toner cartridges. We would like to address
these to help buyers decide what is best for them and their bottom
line. The two types of toner cartridges differ primarily in who
manufactures them. The OEM cartridge is sold under the brand name of the
printer manufacturer whereas another company manufactures the compatible
cartridge. The compatible toner products included in our
toner program are high quality toner cartridges that are manufactured to
OEM specifications under stringent quality control standards to assure
performance that equals or exceeds that of the original equipment
manufacturer. All of the toner is backed by a manufacturer’s warranty
and the use of these compatible cartridges will not void the printer’s
warranty. It is important to note that no refilled toner cartridges are
included in the program.
The benefit of employing compatible toner
cartridges to most organizations is in the bottom line. A high quality
compatible cartridge can provide print quality and performance
equivalent to the OEM cartridge and at the same time provide significant
cost savings. We highly recommend that every organization evaluate at
least one of the compatible toner cartridges. A successful application
of these cartridges holds potential savings for some organizations may
be in the tens of thousands of dollars per year.
We are aware that many organizations are
reluctant to try compatible cartridges based on rumors of poor quality
or a negative experience with a refilled or remanufactured cartridge.
This is not the case with the high quality compatible cartridges
included in our toner program. If you are considering how compatible
toner cartridges can be employed in your organization, give us a call or
contact us by e-mail at toner@cecharity.com. You may even qualify to
receive a free toner cartridge for your evaluation.
Let us look at the potential savings that
could be realized from employing compatible toner cartridges in an
organization. Note that in some cases a complete 100% migration from OEM
to compatible cartridges may not be possible due to the fact that some
special cartridges may not be available and the fact that some users may
refuse to employ a compatible cartridge. The calculator below that looks
at saving for 100% migration as well as 75% and 50% migration to
compatible toner cartridges. Use the calculator below to estimate
your potential savings.
