  Q. Will the use of Recycled cartridges void my printer warranty?A: Absolutely no! It’s important to note that it’s illegal for a laser printer manufacturer to require you to use or purchase a particular brand of cartridge, just as it’s illegal for a car dealer to require that only original parts to be used to fix your car. An OEM cannot void your warranty simply because you choose different brand of supplies for a piece of equipment like a printer. In a media interview in early February 2003, HP Senior VP of Printer Supplies Mr. PradeepJotwani made HPs views, while commenting on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DCMA) used by Lexmark to lock out supplies market, stated the following: HP would not be following down the path of using chips as a lockout device. There should be a place (in the market) for those companies that sell remanufactured cartridges and kits for ink jets. Customer choice governs the buying decision between new OEM or remanufactured cartridges. HP consciously makes sure that its cartridges can be reused. For more details on the above, please refer to the advertisement of M/s. Static control Components Inc., USA appearing regularly in the form of an "open letter to the industry from Ed Swartz, CEO of Static Control Components Inc., USA". The advertisement regularly appears in "Recharger magazine" USA.
	Q. My vendor suggests that he can refill a cartridge 2 to 3 times and then probably go for a new or recycled cartridge. Is true?                A: Any component in an OEM cartridge is rated for single use. Reusing the critical components would either mean that you would have mid cycle failure, or a faulty cleaning blade might lead to powder spillage in the printer leading to fuser unit damage. The opc drum might develop dots which might show on the printout, and subsequently you would change the cartridge mid way. Here you loose money on refilling and get poor prints with which you have to compromise. Recycled cartridges give same output as an OEM. Refilled cartridges give only almost 35% output when compared to OEM or recycled. Q. How does a recycled cartridge help the environment? A: Recycling both laser and ink jet cartridges reduces the amount of non-biodegradable plastic in landfills. Additionally, the manufacturing process used to create new cartridges depends heavily on fossil fuels.
	 Q. My Printer Maintenance guy says that the use of such cartridges would damage the printer. Shouldn't I listen to him?             A: Many printer engineers presume that the cartridge is a refilled cartridge. The concept of recycling is new and it is catching up fast, both with the support industry as well as the end users. Their previous experiences with a refilled cartridge might have been really poor, as they would have had to clean a lot of components due to the powder spillage from a refilled cartridge. The awareness is increasing and a lot of technicians in fact are now in favor of such Recycled cartridges instead of refilled cartridges or for that matter the OEMs. There are substantial savings and no spillages. Your cost of the printer is recovered within 5 to 10 purchases of recycled cartridges vis a vis OEM. Q . Is there a downside to recycled cartridges? A: No. Using recycled cartridges saves money, helps preserve the environment, provides as high a quality product, and helps support local small businesses.
Q. Why don't more businesses recycle? A: In a word -- education. 	(A) The office product recycling industry is relatively new; just 10 years old. The industry is working diligently to educate the consumer about the value of recycled cartridges, and today more than 30% of all Indian businesses used recycled cartridges. Quite an accomplishment in just ten years. Through public relations campaigns, more and more end-users are realizing the added value of recycled cartridge products and services. 	(B) Recyclers replace worn parts and upgrade others in the cartridge with parts that are often superior in quality and performance to those in a new cartridge.  	Q. Are recycled cartridges inferior to new ones? A: No. there should be no difference in the print quality or page yield of a recycled cartridge. Recyclers use only graphics quality toner and replacement parts that meet or exceed the OEM standard. Most recyclers guarantee their products to perform as well or better than new cartridges.
	Q. Am I really helping the environment by purchasing  recycled cartridges?  A: Definitely. Each discarded empty laser printer cartridge adds approximately three pounds of unnecessary waste to our landfills. Waste that will take as long as 10 centuries to decompose. It is estimated that 100 million laser printer cartridges and 400 million ink jet printer cartridges are produced each year. Recycling these 500 million cartridges will save an estimated 4 million cubic feet of landfill space. The office products recycling industry has made and will continue to contribute a substantial positive impact upon the environment and the economy wherever it exists. Q. Can I really save money by using recycled cartridges? A: Yes. As much as 40 to 50 percent, depending on the quantity of cartridges your company uses, your savings can amount to thousands of Rupees each year.
