Can I use recycled cartridges?

The MICR toner cartridge industry has a wide range of suppliers with a few number of firms that adopt stringent cartridge and MICR toner quality control measures. However, most vendors use inferior toner formulations and poor quality cartridges that can cause damage to your printer and print poor quality MICR documents.

MICR toner contains iron oxide which over time can eat away at toner cartridge components. With recycled cartridges, you can run the risk of damaging your printer, printing poorly and wasting money if the proper parts of the recycled cartridge is not properly replaced.

Poor quality toners will also tend to flake or smear in the reader/sorter equipment used by financial institutions to process checks, in which they may charge your extra fees.
Using recycled MICR toner cartridges would not be recommended as all MICR toner cartridges aren’t made equally with the same quality and care. To make sure you’re getting quality cartridges, check with your supplier by asking the following questions:

-What check reader/sorters have you used to verify durability of the MICR toner?

-What are the expected character signal strength readings throughout the life of the cartridge?
