1 - What are the major features of Arlington Compatible cartridges?
Our cartridges are designed and produced to meet or exceed OEM performance.
2 – Does using a cartridge produced by a company other than the original OEM void the equipment warranty?
No. Using a compatible cartridge in your printer will not automatically void the warranty. Cartridges are consumer replaceable units.
Arlington compatible toner cartridges carry a 100% performance guarantee. That means if a cartridge does not provide the quality and print yield equal to an OEM cartridge, Arlington will replace the cartridge. In addition, if an Arlington compatible toner cartridge causes damage to a properly maintained printer that can be traced back to the cartridge, Arlington will reimburse the customer for the service costs incurred.
3 - How many copies will a cartridge make?
Performance of a specific cartridge will depend on the amount of toner coverage required for any printed page. For example, when printing full-page graphics, you will constantly receive fewer pages per cartridge than if you were printing text only, such as a typical business letter. This is true regardless of the manufacturer of the cartridge. In any event, the Arlington compatible cartridges will meet or exceed the number of pages printed as the original equipment cartridges using identical performance characteristics.
4 - Why should I buy a cartridge that contains new and recycled materials versus a “newly built” product?
Even OEM products contain some recycled materials. Use of recycled materials is not the determining factor for product quality and performance. How the product is designed, the quality of the parts selected, the production process, and the ongoing quality assurance programs determines quality. For example, Arlington has chosen to re-use the plastic housing or hulk because it is not a critically important part relative to print quality or performance. Since it is reusable, it also saves valuable landfill space.
