It is easy to refill your cartridge!

Instructions We provide specific, step by step instructions for most models. Pictures show how to access the existing filler hole or where to make a new hole in the cartridge. They include information on preparing your work-surface and handling the powder without mess.

Does it work?
Yes, of course it does! The great thing about filling up with powder is that you don’t disturb the inner workings of the cartridge. If it was working well when it ran out, then filling will revive it.

How many times?
Typically, a new or remanufactured cartridge will last for at least another two fills before you lose quality or something goes wrong. It depends on the type. Those which do not contain an imaging drum will often last for 5 or more fills.
Read a case study!

Good quality results?
All of our powders are specifically formulated for the models for which we supply them. They have been fully tested. We guarantee that they will not damage your printer, neither will they void your warranty! (We do not supply so called “Universal supplies” and professionals don’t use them!) The first time you fill, the quality should be the same as when it ran out.

By reusing yourself, you remain in control of the quality of your print. Components in the cartridge will degrade or fail in time, and you can decide yourself when the time has come to start with a new one. Any unused powder can be used in another cartridge so there is no waste.
(Colour supplies can show colour and finish variations from the original.)

Reduce, reuse and recycle is the environmental mantra!

Save significant raw material, waste and energy by reusing your laser cartridges
Approximately 44 million laser cartridges are bought each year in Europe. In the UK 95% of these are thrown out after only one use. Each cartridge contains between 1 and 2 litres of oil, as well as aluminium and steel. Each time you reuse a cartridge, you save these valuable, non-renewable resources and the energy required to manufacture the cartridge.

The majority of laser cartridges are disposed of in landfill sites. In the UK this amounts to 10,000 tonnes of material each year. The plastic and other material in the cartridge is non-biodegradable. It does not decompose for many centuries. Each time you reuse a cartridge, you save waste landfill.

Do you change your car engine when you run out of petrol?
Ever thought why you change your cartridge when it runs out? It's not because you need to, it's because the manufacturers tell you to. The profit on sales of supplies over the lifetime of the printer is usually far more than the profit on the printer itself. Reusing cartridges is equivalent to filling your car with petrol, only you cannot do it so many times.

We believe that we have the largest retail range in the world!
We supply over 600 types supplies for over 12,000 models. These range from old printers that are still in use, like the Xerox Docuprint P8 E, to small desk lasers, like the Toshiba LBP-1080D. We supply products for high volume printers from the black only Toshiba BD-2300 to the modern A3 colour Xerox Phaser 2135, and for small colour printers like the Toshiba e-STUDIO C180CP.

If we can get it and save you money, we will stock it for you!

Reset required? Some cartridges must be reset so that the printer recognises the new supplies. These have a chip or fuse that shuts down the empty cartridge. We supply replacement chips or fuses, or provide reset instructions for most of them.
