eventually result in print quality defects. Poor toner fusing and toner leaks can lead to accumulation of excess toner in the fuser resulting in premature fuser failures. Using mismatched toner in a printer may lead to poor toner transfer, causing leakage and print defects. This can result in reprinting pages and even hardware failures, which require service calls not covered under the printer warranty. Reprinting inferior quality pages double your printing cost for toner, paper and man power.
Independent testing supports our claim. Buyer’s Lab, a leading independent test lab, tested 752 cartridges in Lexmark printers, 64 original Lexmark cartridges and 688 nonLexmark cartridges. BLI concluded that the majority of non-
The Reality: The 46% lower average purchase price claimed for non-Lexmark remanufactured cartridges translated to a true cost that’s as much as 34% higher than an original Lexmark cartridge. * Based on results of an independent test of high-yield toner cartridge performance in Lexmark printers conducted by BLI.

Specifically, of the 688 cartridges tested: 56% of expected pages were printed, on average 22% experienced out of box failures 19% exhibited cartridge reliability failures and/or print quality failures during life • 20% caused printer fuser damage resulting in premature fuser replacement

Printer Impact The Myth: Remanufactured brand cartridges never harm printer hardware. The Reality: Print problems requiring fuser replacement were experienced with every remanufactured brand tested.
