Home is a powerful documentary movie touching on the sensitive issue of the dying earth due to the irresponsibility of human exploiting the natural resources for fortune. The price to pay is too high & the power is in our hands to make a little effort in many ways to restore the balance back before it is too late...
Check out the trailer below and I strongly suggest to watch the DVD.

Dirty Fact Or Dirty Job, You Decide...
When one question goes as :" Sir / Miss, do you mind to support remanufactured toner or ink cartridges?"
Immediately, more than half a dozen of replies such as " The printer warranty will be voided by using remanufactured cartridges." , "The remanufactured cartridges will destroy the printer and consequently will not be serviced by the OEM service centre." , "Printout quality from remanufactured cartridges will not be as good as the OEM cartridges." , "The number of pages printout are not similar to the OEM cartridges." , "Remanufactured cartridges are cheating consumers with their lower than expected standard." and so on.
As usual the answers are not quite friendly to the question or rather indirectly not friendly to the environment as well it seems. Well this is how imbalance as one simple question are replied with more than half dozen of replies to counter the question. Unfortunately, the imbalance of the replies simultaneously indicate the seriousness of the imbalance ecosystem and global labor exploitation as well.
Consumers are not to be blamed for having such false reputation regarding cartridges remanufacturing industry as OEM manufacturers have executed their strategy perfectly ingraining the "facts" into the consumers' mindset since long ago. However, consumers do not deserve to live in fear of voiding their printer warranty by using remanufactured cartridges.
Try puting yourself in the perspective of the OEM manufacturers and imagine all the consumers are accepting the idea of remanufactured cartridges will cause problems to their printers and printouts. Your revenue will increase incredibly.... Exactly, it is all about market domination !! Nothing else, so ask yourself again do you think living in fear of losing your OEM support and warranty by using remanufactured cartridges but limiting your choices to just one is fair?
If they are to enforce such regulation or standard, then how about using their OEM printers and cartridges to print on recycled papers. That is supposed to void their warranty as well but they never bring out that issue which indicates there is no enforcement to such situation of using remanufactured cartridges will void the warranty. It is simply not much difference to dictatorship.
Besides, for the warranty issue for OEM printers which use remanufactured cartridges. We can refer to solid proof provided in Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of America. Over there is one rule stated that no manufacturer of OEM printers can void consumer's warranty solely due to the fact that if they are using remanufactured cartridges. The manufacturer must prove that the printer failed as a direct result of using the non OEM cartridges. This hardly happened to be honest.

Just imagine if the automobile industry will limit consumers to only use their own petrol while the warranty and service will be voided if the consumers are found to be using other petrol.
So ask yourself back, why pay more for OEM cartridge's advertisement fee while you can get a remanufactured cartridge for 50% less than the OEM price with equivalent printout quality and cartridge life span.
Again, you can support remanufacturing cartridges and recycle the cartridge by offering to us rather than sending them back to the OEM manufacturers for recycle purpose. There is always something sinister behind the OEM profuse effort of collecting their cartridges from consumers for "recycling" purpose. The next article will reveal the dark side of the OEM cartridges recycling
industry.
Finally, remanufacturing or recycling cartridges could be considered as one hell of a tough and "dirty" job. However, it is up to the consumers to choose between a "dirty" task or a "dirty" truth. Once again remember not to live in fear and limit your own choice as consumers. You deserved more than this. You are the trump card in the system for restoring balance back to the environment.
Please be reminded that we, remanufacturers are not trying to wipe out completely the OEM cartridges in the market but rather trying hard to bring a balance in the system.
