The quality of remanufactured toner cartridges depends on the company you are purchasing from. Some companies sell cartridges as remanufactured, but do not replace old and worn parts and do not thoroughly clean and test cartridges. They simply refill them with new toner and resell them.
Skysheen products adhere to strict standards before leaving our facility. The first step is to start with what is known as a “virgin empty”. This means an empty cartridge that has never before been remanufactured, these “virgin empties” have only been used once as an OEM product and we ensure that all our remanufactured cartridges are made from only premium grade “virgin empties”. Many companies use what are deemed to be “non-virgin empties” which means they have no idea how many times a particular cartridge has been remanufactured or to what specifications and manufacturing processes it's been subjected to. Using a high quality empty is absolutely essential to having a premium quality product.
Professionally remanufactured cartridges have been recycled to meet or exceed Original Equipment Manufacturer specifications. The recycling and remanufacturing process involves inspecting, disassembling, cleaning, replacing worn out parts, reassembling, and refilling the toner or ink. Once the process is complete, the cartridge is then tested, sealed, and ready to be sold. The empty cartridge is disassembled to remove toner and thoroughly cleaned before reassembly. A new/certified OPC drum is installed in every cartridge to ensure optimum performance and yields. Cartridges are generally machine-filled with custom blended toner designed to match both the OPC drum and wiper blade. We use toner powder designed to meet the stringent OEM specifications. In most every case, cartridges contain as much as or more toner than the OEM cartridge. All cartridges have a supply tank seal guaranteed not to leak in transit. Cartridges are all labeled with part numbers and company information. Quality audits are performed throughout the manufacturing process and all remanufactured toner cartridges are print-tested and quality certified before leaving our factory.
