If you’re running a small business, your focus might be on saving as much money as possible. If that’s your number one priority, don’t hesitate to choose a printer that can accommodate all of your needs including toner.

When looking to save money, consider only changing toner cartridges when it’s absolutely necessary. Also consider trying compatible toner. Over time, these strategies can help you save money.

Did you know that even with all the advancements in technology, the costliest activity in a professional setting is printing?

Collaboration tools and document management systems have advanced printing, but have not stopped the use of paper and printer cartridges, which can be really expensive, especially if your business relies on print materials to grow, like fliers, brochures, or info packets.

Have you ever wondered if choosing between color printers and monochrome printers (black and white only) could be the key to saving money for your business?

Compatible Toner Cartridges: a Win-Win for Your Company and the Environment

Compatible, Recycled, Remanufactured, or Refurbished Toner Cartridges - These toner names are interchangeable.  They started out as an OEM cartridge but have been reused in various ways and resold again.  There are several benefits to using compatible toner cartridges:

Go for the Win with Compatible Toner Cartridges!

• Quality – When you purchase from reputable companies like MCS, the remanufactured cartridges are disassembled, cleaned, and tested with most parts replaced before filling the cartridge with new toner.  
• Cost – Purchasing compatible toner cartridges can save your business an average of 30-60% per cartridge compared to the OEM. Beware of companies that sell the cartridges for much less than street prices for compatibles. They often just drill a hole in the plastic shell and refill it with toner and insert a plug. These "Drill and Fill" companies give recycled cartridges a bad name.
• Warranty – Both OEM and Compatible Toner Cartridges can fail so it’s important to be sure that they are backed by a solid warranty. OEM toner has a 30-day manufacturer warranty from the purchase date. MCS customers who purchase Compatible Toner Cartridges are covered by our “no-questions asked” immediate replacement policy for the life of the cartridge.
• Environmentally Responsible - Choosing to purchase a compatible toner cartridge benefits the environment in many ways. Read our article on toner cartridge recycling in Ann Arbor to learn the positive impact you can have on the environment by recycling your e-waste.

Printer Cartridges: Can a Toner Cartridge Save You Money?

Laser printers and their toner cartridges can cost more.  However, it’s important to consider the long-term cost savings.  Toner cartridges will print more pages than an ink cartridge and often have a lower cost per page.  Also, determine whether or not you want to print in color or if monochrome printing (black ink or toner only) will suit your needs. Monochrome laser printing can cost considerably less than printing in color.  Be sure to read the product specifications to determine if this is the best option for you.
