A person who owns their own company will be extremely familiar with the outrageous cost of copier and printer toner. But you may not be familiar with the cost saving aspects of compatible toner cartridges, and you may not know that these products are also safe to buy for your printers and copiers. Recently, we received a letter from one of our clients who wanted to share his experience after deciding to buy a large amount of compatible Oki 5100 printer toner.

As a project manager for a mid-sized regional restaurant supply company, one of Mike Robinson's duties is to purchase toner cartridges. After his complete research on cost and quality, Mike chose a web supplier who sold a compatible Oki toner cartridge for 1/3 to 1/2 the cost of the Oki brand name toner. The result was an impressive 16 percent saved on his entire budget for the month.

Mike's company owned a fleet of 200 Oki c5100n printers, and he had some of his employees outfit all of them with remanufactured cartridges. To start out, he was skeptical about how well they would work, but he soon had to admit that the remanufactured toners were every bit as good as the costly genuine toners that his company used to buy. "I checked out some of the copies personally," Mike wrote, "and they looked good - good ink yield, adequate coverage, no smudges."

The compatible Oki 5100 toner cartridges are made by distributors using the same or even superior technology and ink. These businesses use quality control tests that are just as rigorous as those run by brand name ink manufacturers. The result of all this time is that your compatible cartridge will have high quality at a much lower cost.

Mike's story doesn't stop there. It turns out that 3 months later, he was given an award as "Manager of the Month," partly due to the economic decisions he had used. Furthermore, Mike's boss gave him the responsibility of purchasing all the toner for his entire company, which saved the company tens of thousands of dollars annually. All this transpired because of switching to the compatible Oki 5100 toner!

All of us who want to discover the little solutions to increase revenues and prevent unneeded expenses should learn from the example in Mike's letter. Work with your office supplier to compare for yourself the cost in using manufacturer's cartridges versus Oki supplies and see how even a minor ordering change can make a huge difference in your bottom line.

Replacement toner cartridges for copiers and printers can be outrageously expensive, but are you aware that there's a simple way to cut this expense significantly? One of our clients saved a lot of money for his business by concerting to compatible Okidata printer toner. These Okidata c5100 toner cartridges work just as well as the original manufacturer cartridges in his company's Okidata c5100 machines, but at a fraction of the cost. Our client was rewarded with a significant career boost for his cost-cutting idea. It might be beneficial to you to look into switching to compatible cartridges the next time you need to replace your toner.
