Small business owners are aware of how much the price copier and printer toner can eat into profits. What many business people don't know is that there are toner cartridges available that, while not being a name brand, are both safe and reliable for use in their printers, and also cost significantly less. For example, let me tell you the story of what happened when one of our clients bought a large supply of remanufactured Okidata 5400n compatible toner cartridges.

Frank Robinson manages projects for a medium-sized restaurant equipment company conducting business in one region of the US. He found that online suppliers were offering Oki toner for 50-67% less than he had been out putting for brand name ink. The difference in price was so big that buying compatible Okidata c5400 toner allowed him to reduce all of his spending for that month by 16%.

Frank requested that two of his employees to install the remanufactured cartridges in all 200 of the company's Okidata 5400n machines. Even though Frank was skeptical about the quality of the remanufactured Oki 5400 printer toners, he found upon his own inspection that the results were the same as those using high-priced brand name ink the company had been buying. Frank wrote that "I checked out some of the copies personally, and they looked good- good ink yield, adequate coverage, no smudges."

The compatible Oki 5400n toner are produced using the same or even superior technology and inks. In addition, their producers do exactly the same quality control tests on their cartridges as the OEM distributors. That means that compatible cartridges are high quality products that are available for much lower cost.

This is not the end of Frank's tale, in fact, three months later, he was awarded manager of the month, mostly due to his money saving strategies. Also, Frank's boss asked him to be in charge of all toner orders for the entire company, saving it tens of thousands of dollars every year simply by converting to the compatible Okidata 5400 toner!

For those of us looking for ways to lower costs, add to revenues, and improve our businesses' bottom lines, Frank's letter should serve as an inspiration. Find out if your office supplier distributes compatible Okidata toners and check the price yourself to see how much of a savings you can experience with one simple alteration.

Copier and printer toner costs can be huge for a small company, however, there are compatible toner cartridges. These are safe for use and cheap. A client discovered that he could buy Okidata toner online at 1/3 of the cost of the original product. He used these cartridges instead of the other Okidata 5400 toner printers. He found that the copies were the same quality as the original toner. The remanufactured toner companies use the same products and the same business practices to offer a high quality product at a lower cost. Any company looking to save in their budget should look into purchasing compatible toner cartridges.
