The truth about remanufactured ink and toner cartridges

When is a discount not a discount?

Let's say you're holding two inkjet cartridges in your hands. One an Original HP cartridge, one a remanufactured cartridge that might cost a little less. So far, the remanufactured cartridge sounds pretty good. Until you take a look at the independent research.
More Prints Per Cartridge.
The QualityLogic test shows that you can count on worry-free reliability built into every Original HP inkjet cartridge:
•   More than 33% of tested refilled ink cartridges failed prematurely or right out of the box1
•   Only the tested Original HP ink cartridges worked every time, with no cartridge failures1
More Prints Per Cartridge.
The numbers add up to amazing reliability, and exceptional value you can trust. When it comes to business, time is money. Original HP ink cartridges can save you both, by offering consistent performance and more printed pages than refilled cartridges.
