An independent study commissioned by HP reveals that HP output quality is consistently more reliable than remanufactured toner cartridges. |

|
A clear winner |
|
|
|
| Remanufactured cartridges don't always arrive ready to work - leaking toner is one issue. |
|
|
QualityLogic, a leading quality assurance organization, recently tested the performance of HP Color LaserJet toner cartridges vs. remanufactured brands.1 QualityLogic tested five remanufactured brands (20 cartridges of each brand) for this 2008 study. The test results showed that the quality and usability of pages printed with Original HP LaserJet color toner cartridges was consistently more reliable than output from the remanufactured color toner cartridges. |
|
Quality you can rely on |
|
|
| QualityLogic used a page quality scale developed from responses of real business customers about the level of print quality they require for different business purposes. The results show that business customers demand better quality on documents intended for distribution outside the company. Often, the page quality from the tested remanufactured toner cartridges was not good enough for external distribution including customers and others outside the company – and required reprinting.1 |
|
| Examples of printed pages based on the page quality scale. |
|
|
|
|
(1) Printed page that is acceptable for all uses. |
|
(2) Printed page that was unsuitable for external use. |
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Over 25% of the pages inspected from the tested remanufactured cartridges were unsuitable for external use. |
|
|
• |
Over 98% of the pages inspected from Original HP cartridges tested were acceptable for all uses |

| The results show that Original HP print cartridges continue to offer customers consistent output quality. |
|
Superior color can save you green |
|
|
|
| For the time and paper that is wasted having to reprint pages that are unacceptable for the intended use you could purchase a brand new Original HP Toner Cartridge. |
|
|
| You pay the price for poor quality, when you consider the cost of reprinting pages that are unacceptable for their intended use. Reprints require purchasing extra paper and replacement cartridges. In the end, an Original HP color toner cartridge can end up costing less than the average remanufactured color toner cartridge. |
|
| A set of Original HP Color LaserJet cartridges can cost up to $76 less than remanufactured toner cartridges when you include the costs of reprinting low quality pages that don't meet business customers' standards for external distribution.2 |
|
| Bottom line: Reprinting poor-quality pages is a waste of time and money and a frustration you don't need. Using Original HP cartridges lets you focus on your business. |

|
The color of trust |
|
|
| Blue is blue is blue, right? Not exactly. Colors printed by remanufactured cartridges can vary significantly from the colors printed by HP cartridges. HP color can't be matched. When compared with colors printed using Original HP Color LaserJet cartridges, the colors printed using the tested remanufactured cartridges demonstrated significant and noticeable color differences.3 |
|
| Across the tested remanufactured cartridges, all six colors—cyan, magenta, yellow, red, green, and blue—deviated significantly from the colors printed using Original HP cartridges.3 |
|
| Produce documents and marketing materials with consistent, true colors—an important part of your company's brand—using Original HP Color LaserJet cartridges. |
|
