Smart Cartridge offers products and services that are ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND

Here's how ...

1. 50% of empty printer cartridges go to landfill - we help reduce that number by allowing you to re-use empty cartridges
2. We help reduce the transport pollution, energy demands and new raw materials created by recycling
3. You only invoke the detrimental effects of recycling when the cartridges reach the end of their useful life which can be after many uses -without loss of quality in the meantime.

Probably the best way to reduce your printing costs is to buy the right printer.

Here’s a quick guide to buying the right printer.

PRINTERS – INKJET AND LASER

We have done the research and know which printers offer high quality and value for money. We carry a stock of printers that we know are cost effective to run, these include printers from Canon, HP and Samsung.

INKJET REFILLS

Next time you are shopping in Aberdeen drop your empty inkjet cartridges in to be refilled. We are only 200 metres from the Bon Accord Centre. The savings will probably pay for your parking - and a burger for the kids – depending on your cartridges you could save up to £15 a set.

INKJET REFILLS – SUPPORTING CLAN

We are inviting schools to collect empty inkjet printer cartridges (not Epson) from pupils instead of throwing them out or sending them away to be recycled. We refill the cartridges and sell them. The buyer saves up to 60% compared with buying new and we donate 10% of the sale price to CLAN – that’s up to 20 times the amount manufacturers give to national charities via their recycling schemes. Ask your school to collect empty cartridges (we can supply containers) and help CLAN in the process.

SMART CARTRIDGE OWN BRAND FOR EPSON AND CANON INKJETS

We don’t refill Epson cartridges as they need glycerine-based ink to extend the life of the printhead. We supply our Own Brand cartridges – these give you the same quality output as the originals at about half the price. These are not “cheap” compatibles which use water based inks which can clog up printheads. Feedback from our home and business customers is that the quality of our Own Brand cartridges is superb and the yield is higher than the originals.

MAIL ORDER

We have many customers from Braemar to Shetland who can’t pop into our store so we offer a mail order service, normally adding £1.00 p&p for small items. Even if you live locally, this is a convenient and cost effective option.

REMANUFACTURE LASER CARTRIDGES – ISO 9001 & ISO 14001 COMPLIANT

Our Laser Remanufacture business has been a huge success. Our regular customers include a major oil company, oil service companies, logistics companies, car dealerships, solicitors, retailers and one person businesses.

Our remanufactured laser cartridges comply with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, giving you higher assurances on the quality of our cartridges.

If your company still “recycles” cartridges by sending them away and buying new cartridges look at our remanufactured laser prices to see how much you could be saving!

If your company sends cartridges off to benefit charity consider this recent example of a company with a collection bin ready to be sent away to charity:

•  The cost of buying new, replacement cartridges was £1588; the cost of remanufacture was £933.
•  They were throwing away a saving of £655.
•  The charity would get about £15 for the bin of cartridges from brokers.
•  If the company had the cartridges remanufactured and donated 10% of the saving to local charities, they would be four times better off and the company would still make a saving of £600.

The prices shown on our page are only offered by Smart Cartridge Aberdeen and prices will vary throughout other Smart Cartridge Stores.

DELIVERIES

In order to minimise transport costs and pollution we are operating a schedule of deliveries around the Aberdeen area as follows:

Delivery is free of charge if you operate within this schedule. With the savings you will make with remanufactured laser cartridges you can afford to carry spare cartridges so you shouldn’t get caught out!

If you do get caught out we can have it dispatched for next day delivery at £6.00 P&P – you will still be making a significant saving.
