If you're a small business owner, you are aware of how much copier and printer toner can cost your business. But did you know that compatible toner cartridges are not only completely safe to buy for your printers and copiers, but also extremely inexpensive? Recently, one of our readers wrote in to tell us what happened when he purchased a large amount of compatible Okidata c7100 supplies.

Bill Robinson manages projects for a medium-sized restaurant equipment distributor 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 toner. The difference in cost was so big that purchasing compatible Okidata c7100 toner allowed him to reduce all of his spending for that month by 16%.

He asked a few of his employees to use compatible cartridges in their 200 Okidata c7100 machines. He was slightly unsure at first, but he quickly realized that these cartridges were the same quality as the much more expensive brand name inks he was purchasing. Bill wanted to see the copies himself and was impressed with the quality: good toner yield, adequate coverage, and no smudges.

When you decide to purchase an Oki c7100 compatible toner, you should expect it to offer the same or even better quality inks and electronics as the OEM it replaces. Companies offering compatible cartridges do the same thorough testing as the original manufacturers and also use quality assurance controls to guarantee you the same performance as the brand name, one hundred percent compatibility, and quality as high as the original at a much more attractive cost.

Bill's story didn't stop there, though. Three months down the road, Bill was chosen as manager of the month, partly due to his cost-cutting strategies. His company was so impressed with the amount saved, they asked Bill to take over toner orders for the whole company, which ended up saving them tens of thousands of dollars each year...all this by switching to the compatible Oki c7100n ink.

All of us who need to find the little solutions to increase revenues and prevent unnecessary costs should learn from the example in Bill's letter. Work with your office supplier to compare for yourself the cost in using manufacturer's cartridges versus Oki toner and see how even a minor purchasing change can make a huge difference in your bottom line.
