Cartridges for the laser printer. How to save and to lose in quality?

Than noname-cartridges are bad?

Guaranteed quality of printing and also providing warranty service on the printer firmly was connected only with use of original cartridges from the producer of the printer.

At the same time, use of non-original cartridges inevitably leads to loss of a guarantee and quality degradation of printing.

As a result there was a difficult situation. A part of resellers began to buy actively non-original supplies, and the rest, according to the conducted surveys, stated readiness to begin to sell non-original cartridges in the nearest future. Risk lose the buyers ready to leave to the competitors who are already selling cheaper cartridges pushed the companies to follow till their way.

The trend was not limited to space of Russia. The whole world got to the field of its action. The volume of retail market of non-original cartridges passed, according to some estimates, a boundary of $5 billion a year, and someone was lent to offer an exit in the circumstances.

This step was taken by Xerox company. It arranged at the capacities production of original cartridges for the equipment of other producers, having carefully worked the plan for cost reduction that the branded cartridges meeting high quality requirements could approach noname-products prices.

The new line of cartridges received the name Xerox Replacement Cartridges (XRC).

But the patent was redeemed by Haloid Company which began to be called afterwards Xerox. The company is today not just an owner of technologies of a laser printing, she stood at their origins and was directly involved in their development.

In the late seventies the employee of Xerox invented the first laser printer - Xerox 9700. Other vendors started release of the models only several years later. The HP company was one of those who used the technologies created in Xerox in the products.
