Remanufactured cartridges are original OEM cartridges that have been professionally cleaned, rebuilt with new components, and rigorously tested to meet or exceed original quality and performance standards.

While generic compatibles may seem like a cheap alternative, they often come with hidden costs. These cartridges are usually mass-produced overseas using low-quality components and are designed for single use. That means poor print quality, higher failure rates, and more waste going into landfills. Worse, they’re not built to be remanufactured, which limits recycling options. Our remanufactured OEM cartridges offer better performance, lower environmental impact, and long-term savings.

We specialize in laser toner because it’s the better option for business printing — lower cost per page, higher yield, and fewer replacements. Inkjet cartridges tend to dry out quickly and create more waste. Our focus is on eco-friendly, high-performance toner solutions.

You can use the search bar at the top of our site and type in your printer model (e.g., “HP LaserJet Pro M404”). Still need help? Our live chat is available to assist you — just click the chat icon.

Some toner cartridges include a microchip that communicates with your printer to monitor toner levels and authenticate the cartridge. When required, our remanufactured cartridges include a new compatible chip that allows full functionality with your printer — including page tracking and low toner alerts. If your printer displays a message after installation, check our support tips or contact us for help — it’s often just a simple reset or acknowledgement step.

This is a common message with remanufactured cartridges that include a new chip. Don’t worry — the cartridge should still function properly. In most cases, this message appears because the printer is expecting the original OEM chip. You can usually bypass the warning by selecting "OK" or "Continue" on your printer screen. If you're unsure, check our troubleshooting tips or contact us — we're happy to help get you up and running quickly.

We only accept OEM (original brand) cartridges for remanufacturing. Most overseas-produced generic compatibles are single-use designs that are not built to be remanufactured. They often lack the durability and quality needed for reuse, and many end up in landfills. By focusing on OEM cores, we ensure a truly sustainable recycling process.
