Advanced Laser Products — Remanufacturing Process

All of our remanufactured cartridges are completely disassembled, inspected, cleaned, and remanufactured as follows:

  1. Pre-tested to identify any problems the cartridge might have before remanufacturing.

  2. Complete disassembly, compressed-air cleaning and inspection of components.

  3. Reassembly of cartridge, including new drum, new graphics-quality toner, new wiper blade, new recovery blade, remanufactured primary charge roller, remanufactured developer roller, and ultrasonically cleaned corona wire (in the HP II/III cartridge).

    1. A company that specializes in coatings remanufactures our primary charge rollers. The rollers are stripped of the OEM coating and coated with a new elastomeric layer, tested for conductivity, print quality and visual defects, and shipped back to us for installation in the cartridges after they pass our own quality control program.

    2. A company that specializes in magnetic developer rollers remanufactures our developer rollers. The rollers are first stripped to bare metal and sub-micron retexturized. An ultra-hard coating derived from the latest rigid disk drive technology is then applied to provide a barrier of highly resistant metal to reduce developer roller wear. Both the coating and the sub-micron texturing process are applied with computer controlled automated equipment to ensure absolute roller-to-roller consistency. The finished rollers are then 100% tested to ensure print quality and excellent toner performance characteristics. After they are returned to us they are installed in the cartridges and tested in our own quality control program.

  4. Rigorous post-testing and inspection through a double quality control process to ensure proper function and print parameters before shipment to customer. We print a minimum of 50 pages on every cartridge. On high-speed cartridges we print a minimum of 150 pages. We also utilize an Anacom Smart Box to run a battery of tests on the cartridges that help us determine print quality, print density, and yield for each cartridge that we remanufacture.

  5. The final step is packaging in appropriate protective anti-static bags, inserts, and sturdy new boxes for delivery.
