Refilling Toner Carts (was RE: Rubber Restorer...)

I would agree and disagree - I have had clients with good name (Quill)
rebuilts that wee real crap. I deal with a local rebuilder that will send
someone over in a 50 mile radius if they feel the cartridge is at fault to
clean and repair your printer free, replace the cartridge free if you are
out of area. I have purchased many of their rebuilds as I (unlike many
people can do) have been in their rebuild facility and seen what they do to
recondition the EP carts. I have also seen people in a garage drilling and
filling without ever changing )or even checking) drums, wipers, seals etc.
You basically have to try a rebuilder once and then decide if their product
is of any quality.

Even HP and Lexmark state on their virgin carts that they "may contain
recycled components" meaning drums and other components so they a re new
with some rebuilt parts.
