Let’s take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of each type of toner cartridge.
- The original toner cartridge is produced by the same manufacturer as the printer or MFU.
advantage:
·The printing quality is high because Manufacturers invest in this technology and ensure the quality of printing and technology when using original toner cartridges.
·Manufacturer’s warranty, as In 99% of cases, manufacturers refuse to provide warranty for equipment when using non raw materials.
·100% toner cartridges are suitable for the device.
·When using the original toner, the main components of the equipment have fewer malfunctions.
Disadvantages:
·The cost of toner cartridges.
·The availability of toner cartridges in sales (for brands exiting the Russian market) or old models exiting production. - Compatible toner cartridges are toner cartridges developed and manufactured by third-party companies using their own technology and development.
advantage:
·toner cartridge prices.
·Compatible with printers or MFs. Usually, all compatible toner cartridges are equipped with chips and have the same parameters as the original toner cartridge.
·Similar quality products can be found among manufacturers of compatible consumables.
Disadvantages:
·Device manufacturers may refuse warranty when using compatible consumables.
·Not all manufacturers of shared materials invest in development and technology. The quality of toner from these manufacturers may be many times worse than the original toner.
·Due to poor toner quality, certain components of the printer may be contaminated and malfunctioning.
·Some manufacturers may have poorer printing quality. - Filled or repaired toner cartridges – After the toner is complete, place compatible toner into the toner cartridge.
advantage:
·toner cartridge filling price.
·A large number of companies are fueling toner cartridges.
Disadvantages:
·Due to refueling, the sealing of the toner cartridge is damaged, which may cause toner powder to be sprtonerled inside the printer, thereby adversely affecting the operation of the main internal components and printing quality.
·The printing quality is worse than the original toner cartridge.
·I don’t know what quality of toner the company filling the toner cartridges uses.
·If there is no chip, the printer may not be able to use fill cartridges. Additional costs and work are required to lift the manufacturer’s lockdown.
Conclusion.
Only using the original toner cartridge is 100% reasonable:
- You have a new and expensive printer, and the warranty period is not yet over.
- You have a color printer or MFU.
- You use a printer or MFU for high-quality professional printing.
- You don’t need to save printing costs
If compatible or filled toner cartridges can be used: - The machine is no longer under warranty.
- You only use monochrome printing in the office.
- You are confident in becoming a manufacturer of compatible toner cartridges. Based on our practical experience, we recommend compatible toner cartridges from Blatter and Integral manufacturers.
- You have confidence in the quality of your work and adding toner.
But! be careful!
If you are transitioning from one consumable to another, please consult experts on how to safely complete this task. The printing quality issue may not be due to new toner cartridges, but rather to mixing different types of toner. In this case, before installing the new toner cartridge, it will save the engineer’s preventive phone number. When you call the engineer, make sure to switch to compatible or refillable toner cartridges.
The lifespan of a printer depends not only on the quality of toner, but also on other operating conditions:
Paper quality;
-Dust and temperature in the room where the printer is located;
-Printing load;
Have you taken timely preventive measures.
We learned from the client that Kyocera has printed over one million photos. When all the above conditions are met. However, if you are using original toner cartridges and the printer is located in a dusty hot warehouse, the number of printed copies exceeds the recommended maximum load, while printing on C-grade paper – your printer is unlikely to be used for a long time!
