Nearly 90% of cartridges sold in the U.S. come from the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) like HP, Canon, Epson and Lexmark, whose margins on these products are enormous. Why do so many people knowingly spend as much as two and a half times more to buy OEM cartridges than remanufactured cartridges? The answer is simple: QUALITY. Until Caboodle Cartridge came on the scene, customers just didnt have any option except to pay high OEM prices, if they wanted consistent high quality. We remanufacture nearly 500 different cartridges. We use only the finest inks and toners. We replace five critical parts in each laserjet cartridge we remanufacture. We use the latest in cleaning and automated refilling methods, some of which are strictly proprietary. And we test for top quality, again and again, throughout our process. The result is OEM-like quality at about half the price. And all of this is done at our centralized remanufacturing facilities, so you dont have to give quality a second thought!
At InkTonerInc, we provide our customers with reliable new and refilled toner and inkjet cartridges. We use state-of-the-art equipment and have the expertise to recommend cartridges to our customers that are best suited for their business and personal needs. Our prices are great, too! InkTonerInc is a full-service business that provides an environmentally friendly and affordable alternative to purchasing costly new inkjet and toner cartridges. We offer competitive pricing that combines great rates with superior products and services. At InkTonerInc, we take pride in our efficiency and premium services, as well as our dedication to customer satisfaction.
