The Remanufactured Canon, Dell, HP and Lexmark Ink Cartridge

Not too long ago, I remember reading an article that claimed that although the US government was in favor of supporting green initiatives and purchasing remanufactured ink cartridges, many of the ink cartridges that they were purchasing were from foreign countries, though they had been distributed through American companies. Although I really should not have been surprised that this was being done and that someone hadn't done their homework to support US businesses and jobs to the maximum, frankly, I was surprised.

On the other hand, many American consumers are under the false impression that if you purchase a remanufactured canon ink cartridge, dell ink cartridge, hp ink cartridge or lexmark ink cartridge, you are purchasing a lesser quality product. Although I still have trouble believing this to be the case, I can see how it might be true if they had purchased low quality hand-filled ink cartridges, messy refill kits or purchased foreign remanufactured cartridges, assembled by companies that did not have to follow any remanufacturing guidelines. Another reason that consumers may not purchase remanufactured ink cartridges goes back to a time when some original equipment manufacturers use to claim that if you did not use their original cartridge, your printer warranty would become void and you would have a lesser quality printing experience. Fortunately, laws have been enacted to stop service technicians and original equipment manufacturers from making false claims, but you still have to wonder if some consumers still think that these false claims are true.

Fortunately, in the US, a handful of the largest remanufacturers of ink cartridges follow strict remanufacturing guidelines which set them apart from their competition. Mother Earth Recycling, of Phoenixville, PA is a national, online, distributor of one such company that remanufactures the FOCUS brand of ink cartridge.

FOCUS brand cartridges are made in America and the company that remanufactures them has developed a sound and reliable remanufacturing method so as to insure optimal performance from all Canon ink cartridges, Dell ink cartridges, HP ink cartridges or Lexmark ink cartridges remanufactured. And, these ink cartridges are produced to meet or exceed the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) brand specifications and testing comparisons. Page yields are clearly stated, where applicable, on Mother Earth's website. A one year warranty accompanies every cartridge remanufactured because the company that makes the FOCUS brand believes so much in their product line.

So what makes the FOCUS brand of ink cartridge different?

Prior to ink cartridges being remanufactured, used ink cartridges must be purchased to remanufacture. The company that offers the FOCUS brand of ink cartridge purchases these empties in bulk, then, they inspect each and every cartridge to make certain that it is free from electrical and visual defects, as you cannot remanufacture the highest quality ink cartridge from poor raw materials. The ink cartridges are, then, remanufactured on advanced technological equipment designed to clean and remove old ink, before filling them with new, waterbased, ink. Before releasing each cartridge for sale, these ink cartridges are post tested, as doing so further insures that the print quality equals, or exceeds, that which is offered from a new cartridge.

On the Mother Earth Recycling website, all FOCUS brand ink cartridges are clearly identified, as is the fact that they are Made In America. Ink cartridges may be purchased individually, though the company offers volume discounts for each remanufactured Canon ink cartridge, Dell ink cartridge, HP ink cartridge or Lexmark ink cartridge.
