About Our Cartridges   |   Why Recycle?   |   FAQ

Recycling makes good sense. Why use energy and raw materials when you can re-use what you would normally throw away. Once you purchase a laser printer or copier you must buy the consumables for that machine. When most people think of Hewlett Packard, they think of inkjet and laser printers, but I would suggest to you that HP is an ink and toner company rather than a printer manufacturer. Many of their printers today are so cheap that buy the time you purchase two or three ink cartridges, you have paid more for the ink that you did for the original printer.

Not only does recycling SAVE YOU MONEY, it also helps to employ American Workers and has created a large, thriving industry that pays living wages, local, state and federal taxes. Most new cartridges are "Made in Japan". Canon produces cartridges for all its laser printer engines in a robotic facility in Japan. These cartridges are made for many OEM's such as Hewlett-Packard, Apple and others. Let's face it, HP is 85% of the market and all HP black and white laser printer toner cartridges can be remanufactured. Some 25 million plus cartridges are imported each year into the United States, representing billions in trade to Japan. Check out our trade deficit numbers and you'll see why this is an important fact.

Many people are skeptical of remanufactured cartridges. Many have tried inferior products in the past and have been disappointed. I would remind you that you get what you pay for. Many rechargers picked up a toner cartridge and began to take it apart and put it back together again. Trial and error is the mantra. Our technicians are trained in the techniques of remanufacturing and continue to attend training as new products emerge. Our technicians have been remanufacturing cartridges for 9+ years. When you buy a Laser Printer you buy it for the quality, so why should you sacrifice the reason you bought it, just too save a few bucks?

Hewlett Office Systems is ready to help you save money, recycle, shrink the trade deficit, employ Americans and still get the high quality you expect from your printer. We can't promise a customer they will never have a problem, but our failure rates are well below those of the OEMs. We stand behind our products 100%, and if you have a problem, you will speak with the technician that actually did the remanufacturing. All our cartridges are tested for print quality before they are packaged.
