Why Do Remanufacturers Replace Inkjet Cartridge Foam?
Some remanufacturers will replace the ink storage foam inside a remanufactured inkjet cartridge to achieve the highest quality possible. Whether or not the foam is replaced depends on the possibility of cross-color contamination, uniformity from cartridge to cartridge and the particular manufacturer’s idea of quality. Remanufacturers have been known to replace the foam in all of the remanufactured ink cartridges in one line, yet none in another. Many remanufactures have washer and dryers in their facilities to wash and dry the foam for reuse; thus, saving more waste from being dumped into landfills. Nonetheless, replacing the foam is not a requirement nor is it always needed to produce a quality remanufactured inkjet cartridge.

Are "remanufactured" cartridges the same as "refilled" ones?
Some organizations will refill printer cartridges and resell or return them to customers. "Remanufacturing" is a more stringent process that includes not only fresh toner, but an inspection of the cartridge unit for points of failure, with repairs as necesssary. With a remanufactured cartridge instead of a refilled one, you can count on higher quality and reliability.

What can I do to reduce waste associated with my printer?
The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that electronics waste makes up approximately 1 percent on the municipal waste stream, and is expected to grow at three times the rate of other municipal waste.

What is a "disposable printer"?
Has this ever happened to you? You get a great deal on a printer, get it home, print happily for weeks or months -- and then you run out of ink. Much to your surprise, the new cartridges for the printer cost more than the printer did! You've purchased what the industry calls a "disposable printer." When it's cheaper to throw the printer away and buy a new one than to buy fresh ink, consumers shop for the best prices rather than building a trust relationship with a brand, pitting makers in a ceaseless price war. One way to break the chain is to buy cheaper remanufactured ink cartridges for your old printer.

What is Kodak doing that is a challenge to the printer industry?
Kodak hopes to gain an advantage over other printer makers by manufacturing a new line of all-in-one printer/fax/copiers with inkjet cartridges that cost a third to one-half of what other makers charge. How can they do this? Kodak engineers moved the print head (the part that sprays the ink onto the page) from the cartridge to the printer itself, so consumers only pay for one print head instead of buying a new one every time the ink runs out. Analysts point out that consumers are still locked into paying for the manufacturer's cartridge, and that the print heads may not stand up to long usage. Before you buy, check the cost of remanufactured cartridges from other makers, which are close to the $10 and $15 Kodak is charging.

Should I buy cartridges in quantity?
Many sellers offer discounts if you buy inkjet toner cartridges in quantity. This may seem like a great deal, but do the math first.
