The purchase price for non-original toner is often lower than that of original consumables. However, many non-original toners can end up being expensive due to various hidden costs. Non-original toners are generally less efficient, fail more often, and incur additional costs due to reprints in case of poor print quality. Therefore, opt for the original; it pays off! Through the customer-free S.T.A.R. program (SAMSUNG Take Back and Recycle), used toners can be properly recycled. The materials are separated, shredded, and largely melted down into plastic and metal. You can find the original Samsung toner label on the side of the packaging box of your Samsung original toner. This label allows you to easily verify the authenticity of the toner. As determined by an independent study (BLI), the actual page yield of a non-original toner can be significantly lower than the number specified by the manufacturer. The test showed that the yield of a non-original toner is approximately half that of an original Samsung toner. Original Samsung toner cartridges are filled under strict quality controls, and the yield is checked according to a set standard (ISO 19752). This ensures that the specified page yield is achieved. An original Samsung toner is more efficient!.
