What Does CCS's Mission
Critical Status Mean for You?
We don't sell
just any cartridge that we can get our hands on! There are four strict criteria
before a CCS cartridge can be Certified Mission
Critical.
- Quality: Our #1 criteria is that we must be able to renew
the cartridges with the reliability that we require and that our customers
need! OEMs change their cartridges all the time in order to make it difficult
for you to have a reliable alternative to their cartridges. We maintain our
1/2 of 1 percent defect rate (better than OEM and WAY better than common
remans!) by selling only the best renewed cartridges.
- Time Tested: We test, test, test, and then test again.
Only after we have a significant track record with a cartridge can it be
Certified Mission Critical. Even then, we run multiple tests on every single
cartridge that we make, every single time.
- Availability: Of course, we need to make sure that have
enough influx of cartridges (aka: cores) to meet demand. Brand new printers
may use an older model cartridge that has just been given a new number (and a
new price!), or they might have an entire new core so that we have to wait
until empties start becoming available. When an end user returns their
cartridge to the OEM manufacturer, it is usually ground up or shipped overseas
for incineration. Split cartridges can only be remanufactured once. So, while
our Renewal process is best for the environment, it makes core availability a
strong determining factor in Mission Critical Status.
- IP Compliant: CCS takes the Intellectual Property rights
of OEMs very seriously. We track all industry lawsuits to make sure that we
only use parts and cores that do not violate the patent laws in place. Some
OEM's limit which of their cores we can use, some OEMs take apart
remanufactured cartridges to make sure that the parts used do not violate their patents. As printer sales
decline due to higher email usage, OEMs have entire teams of scientists and
engineers protecting their main sources of income!
