Lower Costs, Lower Waste: The Remanufactured Toner Advantage

💰 How Much Can Your Business Really Save with Remanufactured Toner?

In an era where every dollar matters, many businesses are reevaluating overlooked expenses—and printing is a big one. Office printing can quietly account for 1% to 3% of a company’s annual revenue, especially when you factor in supplies, maintenance, and equipment.

One of the smartest ways to cut this recurring cost? Switch from OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) toner cartridges to remanufactured toner. At NorthStar Toner, we specialize in high-quality, American-made remanufactured cartridges that deliver outstanding performance—without the OEM price tag.

🔍 What’s the Difference Between OEM and Remanufactured Toner?

• OEM Toner Cartridges are made by the original printer manufacturer. They're often priced at a premium due to branding and packaging, but they aren’t always better in terms of performance or yield.
• Remanufactured Toner Cartridges, like those from NorthStar, start as OEM cartridges that have been expertly cleaned, refilled, and tested. The result is a cartridge that performs like new—at a fraction of the price and with a much smaller environmental footprint.

💸 The Cost Breakdown: Real Savings, Real Fast

Let’s break it down with an example:

Cartridge Type	Average Cost	Page Yield	Cost per Page
OEM Black Toner	$100	2,500 pages	4.0¢
Remanufactured Black Toner	$50	2,500 pages	2.0¢

If your business uses 100 toner cartridges a year:

• OEM Total: 100 x $100 = $10,000
• Remanufactured Total: 100 x $50 = $5,000
• Estimated Annual Savings: $5,000

And the savings only increase for organizations with multiple departments or color printing needs.

♻️ It’s Not Just About the Money

Choosing remanufactured toner also helps reduce waste and conserve resources:

• Keeps over 2 pounds of plastic and metal per cartridge out of landfills
• Reduces demand for raw materials and energy-intensive manufacturing
• Supports a circular economy model by giving existing cartridges a second life

At NorthStar, all remanufacturing is done in the USA, which means fewer miles traveled and lower carbon emissions.

🛡️ Common Questions, Answered

Absolutely. Every NorthStar cartridge is tested for yield, performance, and consistency. We hold ourselves to the same standards you’d expect from OEM.
