Our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility is capable of remanufacturing more than half a million SX, IIp, IIIsi, 4, 4L, 5P, 5L, 5si, 1100, 2100, 4000, & 8100 cartridges each year, to name a few. Every outbound cartridge is tested for electrical integrity and print quality before it is shipped, and a percentage are "Life Tested" to ensure optimal page yield on all Nu-kote cartridges. The result is "better than new" quality at a fraction of the price.
