Brother Toners, Brother Toner Cartridges and Brother Drums – All in our…
To OEM or not to OEM, that is the question. But “what is OEM?” you ask. Here’s a quick overview of OEM versus remanufactured ink cartridges and toners.
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. An OEM toner is one that has been manufactured by the same manufacturer as your printer. So, if you have a Brother printer, Brother toner is your OEM toner.
A remanufactured toner, conversely, is not associated with any particular brand or manufacturer; it’s a cartridge that’s been recycled, refilled with toner, reassembled, and placed on the market.
Remanufactured toners are cheaper than OEM cartridges, but this may be their only advantage. Because quality control varies with each remanufactured toner, you can never be sure what you’re getting. In fact, remanufactured toners are often defective and can do permanent damage to your printer.
Another downside of using remanufactured toners is that they generally void your warranty with your printer manufacturer. That means that if your printer breaks down, you have to bear the cost of replacement.
To keep your warranty and ensure that your printer stays in working order for years to come, and produces the best results possible, it’s recommended that you choose Brother Toner Cartridges when you have a Brother printer.
