Caboodle Cartridge Franchise

Inkjet & laser toner cartridge replacement/services

Nearly 90% of cartridges sold in the U.S. come from the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) like HP, Canon, Epson and Lexmark, whose margins on these products are enormous. Why do so many people knowingly spend as much as two and a half times more to buy OEM cartridges than remanufactured cartridges? The answer is simple: QUALITY. Until Caboodle Cartridge came on the scene, customers just didn’t have any option except to pay high OEM prices, if they wanted consistent high quality.

We remanufacture nearly 500 different cartridges. We use only the finest inks and toners. We replace five critical parts in each laserjet cartridge we remanufacture. We use the latest in cleaning and automated refilling methods, some of which are strictly proprietary. And we test for top quality, again and again, throughout our process. The result is OEM-like quality at about half the price. And all of this is done at our centralized remanufacturing facilities, so you don’t have to give quality a second thought!
