Why common remanufactured
cartridges simply don’t work…
The History of CCS, Inc.
Back in 1991 Sharon Summers, CEO of Carolina Cartridge Systems, Inc., realized the market had a need for high quality and sustainable alternatives to OEM toner cartridges. OEM costs were outrageous and there was little or no concern for natural resources or the environment. Hence the birth of CCS.
Over the next 21 years CCS evolved into a highly sought after brand serving customers of all shapes and sizes nation wide. Because of our unique manufacturing process even the most discerning organizations have come to trust CCS for their cartridge and printer service needs. Continually innovative, tenacious about our quality, and with our customers and the environment close to our hearts Carolina Cartridge Systems, Inc. is and will continue to be the single best choice for your printing supply needs.

CAN YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE?
Why Traditional “Reman” Cartridges Simply Don’t Work
Most common reman processes involve sawing the cartridge in half, destroying the structural integrity of the OEM Casing. Although this industry wide practice greatly reduces costs, it does not allow for perfect realignment, making common remans much more likely to cause streaks, leaks, and printer damage.
As one of the most experienced US cartridge remanufacturers, CCS respects the precise and complex engineering of OEM cartridges. In order to preserve the structural integrity of the cartridge, CCS disassembles them by hand rather than sawing. This foundational process alone practically eliminates the leaks and streaks commonly associated with remans.

Structurally altered cartridges are easy to identify with the common clamping methods present and obvious along the split seam. Look for black, sliver, or rust colored metal clips ¼ - 1” long, single piece spines, and the less obvious pinch welds.

Split Seam Clips and Leak Zone
Typical Reman Split/Reclip Results •Leaks•Streaks•Printer Damage•Dirty Prints •Unhappy Users•Lost Savings•Excessive Down Time
Toner cartridges are designed to flex slightly as the printer drive gears engage to print. Once split and reattached, the slight flex can cause the clips to loosen and the bottom seam to reopen, allowing toner to leak into the printer. As you can see here, toner can leak through the split seam even when the clips are in place.
