Inkjet Versus Laser Printers and OEM vs Compatible Cartridges

Hi people!

I just read a really interesting article entitled "Inkjet Versus Laser Printers" by Drew Robb, in the July 19, 2005 edition of SmallBusinessComputing.com. You should definitely read the whole article if you have time.

In the article Mr Robb states that:

"In comparison to ink jets, laser printers are quieter, faster and remarkably hassle free. But it's the math that makes them stand out. The numbers are as follows:

An HP laser printer with an estimated machine cost of $400, combined with a $115 toner cartridge, yields 8000 pages. Printing 40,000 pages costs you $400 plus $460 for the ink for a total of $860. A Brother 1440 laser printer works out at about $930 for the same number of pages. That comes to around two cents a page, or eight times less than an inkjet printer."

Great points!

One other interesting point he makes...

"To bring the costs of laser printing down further, you can purchase inexpensive replacement or remanufactured ink cartridges.

"Replacement ink cartridges are cartridges that are manufactured by a company other than the original manufacturer," says Shulman. "A remanufactured ink cartridge is the original OEM cartridge that has been professionally cleaned, refilled with quality ink that is made in the USA and tested prior to leaving the factory."

And then he goes on to say that...

"Replacement cartridges, too, are catching on for ink jets and are widely available. But the success rate is sporadic to say the least. According to Recharger Magazine you simply cannot refill every inkjet cartridge. The actual numbers are more like 20 percent of black inkjet cartridges and 50 percent of colors can't be refilled or reused.

On the other hand, almost 99 percent of laser toner cartridges can be remanufactured to provide a product that meets or exceeds the OEM yield and quality. A handful of high-end companies produce "compatible" cartridge— products that equal or improve upon the quality of the big OEMs. At the low-end, a horde of remanufacturers offer refill kits and replacement toner cartridges at a fraction of the cost."

Mr Robb is right on track, and we here at www.tlcIT.com distribute quality compatible and remanufactured cartridges at a fraction of the cost of the OEM's.

So You can save even more!

Plus, we guarantee our product 100% and if by chance you are not satisfied with the quality of your cartridge then you can return it at our expense and for a full refund!

How's that for a no risk guarantee?
