Only use genuine toners in your printer
This article explains why you shouldn’t use Compatible C532 Toners or Drums, no matter how cheap they are or what their makers claim.
We know replacing the toners and image drums in your number plate printer can be a costly expense. It is very temping to try non-genuine toners in the machine due to the large savings they offer. Plus, many generic toners appear to perform just as well as the manufacturers versions, especially when using plain paper.
Number Plate Standards
Poor toners mean faded colours
But you are producing number plates and not printing on paper. The number plates you make have to meet exacting specifications and standards required by law. Compatible toners especially refills, can very quickly contaminate the printer, causing print issues and a loss of image quality. And don’t forget that toner is fed into the drums, possibly contaminating them too. Our own tests support this, showing a distinct reduction in quality and durability.
Anything that alters the specification of your number plates may effect their legality. We test and pass certification with plates that have been made with our components and genuine toners. Our number plates pass the British Standard, but only when made using genuine toner. Plus for those interested in the environment, OKI run recycling schemes but only for their used cartridges and components.
So if you’re printing road legal number plates – use Genuine OKI Toners.
