FAQ

What is an OEM?

An OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) is an organisation that sells under its own name and brand and is also responsible for building the product. Examples include HP and Canon.

What is the different between a Compatible toner cartridge and OEM?

Compatible toner cartridges are remanufactured/generic toner cartridges, manufactured in Sydney by an Australian owned company. Our staff have a combined Industry experience for over 25 years. Only the highest quality used cartridges are remanufactured. The selected cartridges are cleaned out and the high wearing components in the cartridge (drum, wiper blades, etc...) are replaced with brand new high quality components. The cartridge is subjected to a proprietary print quality control process. This involves a 6 page series of test patterns, run twice. Each of the 6 pages in the series is designed to test specific component functionality to guarantee 100% quality control of product that meets or exceed original print quality and page yield.

What is a compatible cartridge?

A compatible is a generic brand that fulfils the same purpose as an OEM product but is manufactured by different companies. The compatible cartridges supplied by Inkjet Kiosk will give you same page yield as an OEM and will not void printer warranty.

Will a Remanufactured cartridge VOID my laser printer warranty?

Absolutely not! In Australia it is illegal under the Fair Trades and Practices Act for any company/manufacturer to force you to buy their product exclusively, and this is valid internationally. The Federal Trade Commission protects your right as a consumer to buy the product or service of your choice. It may possibly void your service contract if you have a binding agreement with an OEM to use their supplies.

Do compatible cartridges compare to OEM cartridges in quality?

Inkjet Kiosk's compatible cartridges are tested to meet OEM yields. All our compatible cartridges are manufactured according to OEM specifications and have to pass strict quality control specification.

How much can I save by using a remanufactured/generic Cartridge?

Varying from cartridge to cartridge, using Qalitat cartridges can save you on average 35% on OEM cartridges and in some cases up to 100-200%.

Why should my old cartridges be Re-Used?

Each year millions of cubic metres of non-biodegradable laser and inkjet cartridges are simply thrown onto landfill. By Re-Using laser cartridges you can help keep our landfills cleaner.

Can a Qalitat/Compatible cartridge damage my laser printer?

A Qalitat/Compatible cartridge is no more likely to damage your printer than an OEM cartridge. Basically a Qalitat/Generic cartridge is a cleaned, refilled and retested OEM cart. We use the same OEM cartridge just replace the worn parts. Every part of the cartridge is carefully examined during the remanufacturing process to ensure only the best cartridges end up in your printer.
