Ford buys remanufactured cartridges. Does your company?

Ford is leading the way for others. If it works for them why
aren't more people taking this path?
Read below and realize the true benefits of going green
and buying compatible/remanufactured cartridges.


FORD MOTOR COMPANY PARTNERS WITH REMANUFACTURER

     WasteWise charter partner Ford Motor Company established a
partnership with its supplier to take back and remanufacture
toner cartridges used at its North American facilities. In 1996,
Ford estimates it avoided disposing of more than 67,700 pounds
of toner cartridges, and saved an estimated $180,000 in avoided
disposal costs. Since 1991, Ford has collected more than 332,000
pounds of toner cartridges for remanufacturing and saved $1.2
million in the process.

     Empty toner cartridges are collected in a variety of ways at
Ford facilities, depending on how office products are purchased.
In some cases, employee volunteers establish collection centers
and call the supplier when at least 10 empty cartridges have been
collected. In other locations, facilities have established an
exchange program and are responsible for collecting and returning
the empty cartridges. Once the supplier receives the old
cartridges, it inventories them and credits Ford for each
cartridge returned. The supplier pays anywhere from $1 to $13 per
used cartridge, depending on the cartridge type, and then sends
the cartridges to a remanufacturer who completely disassembles,
cleans, and repackages the cartridge. Ford then buys back the
remanufactured cartridges for about 30 percent less than the cost
of a new cartridge.

     Ford believes that the key to the success of the program has
been the educational program offered to Ford employees about using
and maintaining printers, copiers, and fax machines properly,
thereby extending the cartridges’ life. The supplier firmly
believes that careful maintenance (e.g., cleaning) of office
equipment that require cartridges is essential to the good
performance of new and remanufactured cartridges alike.

Looking for a new printer?

If you are in the market for a new laser printer, copier, inkjet or fax machine please give us a call at 413 517 0099.  We have many options available for new and refurbished printers of all brands and models.

Depending on what your needs are and what type of environment you are in there are many options for you.  The refurbished printer option for a lot of people makes plenty of sense.  Too many printers these days that are being released are cheap; designed to be affordable but have a poor and expensive supplies system.  In other words companies like Hp and Lexmark are increasingly designing their new printers to breakdown in 2 years so you must buy another one sooner with a different type of cartridge.  It’s a game they created intended to benefit their own bottom line, not yours.  On top of this many of the new cartridges that are being released are low capacity so you get less printing out of them.

There is good news.  Hp used to make really solid printers mae to last.  And there are alot of them available in the refurbished option.  They come with a one year warranty and are a more economical and intelligent option.

For only $389.99, you can get a fast and efficient Hp laserjet 1320 printer.  This is a perfect option for offices that need fast printing and at times heavy volumes.  The price included shipping and a Q5949X high yield cartridge that will get you a maximum of 6,000 prints.  It also comes with a full one year warranty.

If you need a printer recommendation before buying or if you need us to get you a printer please call us at 413 517 0099.  We can help you print more intelligently.

Sick of OEM companies raising prices?

Yes my friends it is true.  If you haven’t noticed already, all the OEM (original equipment manufacturers) printer cartridge companies have raised their prices again.  This is happening all during a recession; when American families and businesses are on budgets more than ever!!

Over the last 6 months HP has raised prices on most laser toner and inkjet cartridges by 10-20%.  Lexmark just raised prices on their inkjet cartridges as well by $5-$10 per cartridge.  Many others like Canon, Epson and Brother also raised their prices.  This is crazy considering how high all of their prices are already in the first place.  They are gouging the American consumer in times that are hard on everyone.  If this makes you sick to the stomach then do something about it!

The best thing to do in order to benefit yourself and business is to choose to do your business locally.  For example, Ink & Toner Solutions is a privately owned and operated business with local roots in Massachusetts.  Support your local vendors that are doing the right thing for your bottom line, for the environment and for the local economy.  Buy compatible and remanufactured cartridges that offer value.  Do not buy from large corporate companies that will do anything for profit no matter at who’s expense. This includes large office supply chains and directly from company’s websites like Hp.com.

Sales and service all from one great source

If you own a business or just do some printing from home you may be familiar with the frustrations of dealing with high priced replacement printer cartridges and the hassle of shopping for them.  If right now you are buying cartridges from a big box store like Staples or  Office max you most likely are experiencing this pain.

Walking into a massive store with associates that sell paperclips and folders one minute and then are expected to educate you and help you find cartridge products the next minute.  This can be frustrating because the printer supply industry is very specialized and you must be very well trained and rehearsed in the terminology to provide the best shopping experience for customers.

When you shop with us you are guaranteed to find the right product that you are looking for and at an average price discount of 20-60% less than the big box stores.  When you walk in you will be greeted kindly by a knowledgeable member of our staff and you will feel like you are the most important customer when you are here.  You get the one on one attention that you deserve in order to get the right product you are looking for and to have all of your questions answered.

If you have a business or are an office manager for a company, we will provide excellent service right to your door step.  In almost all cases we can deliver next day and sometimes same day if you have an emergency!  If you have at least  5 laser printers in the office we can offer you complete service and support on your printers as long as you are a customer.  Now that’s service and supply sales you cannot get from a big box office store!!

Give us a call, shop online or email to get what you need fast or if you need a service call. 413 517 0099.
