Remanufactured OKI Pro9431 Toner Cartridge: What Is It and Where to Buy It?

Because original toner cartridges are expensive, many people choose ;other ;compatible cartridges. As so many models are not compatible, some people select remanufactured cartridges.

This article will introduce ;the ;OKI Pro9431 remanufactured toner cartridge. We want to give you a reference ;point ;before you make a purchase.

Why ;Is There ;No Compatible Pro9431 Toner Cartridge?

Why are there some toner cartridge models with no compatible toner cartridges? Can you only choose from remanufactured or original cartridges?

Because some printer models are produced in relatively small numbers, the demand for those ;toner cartridges ;is small. Empty compatible toner cartridge shell manufacturers will research the market ;and then decide whether to develop a particular ;model. If the market demand for that model is high, they will produce it ;quickly and ;vigorously. They will give up ;on ;development of ;that model if its ;market demand decreases.

Most importantly, manufacturers sometimes ;find that the cost of a cartridge mold outweighs the potential profit from cartridge sales and thus will take a long time to recoup. But the market still needs this model, and people hope there is a cheaper toner cartridge than the original. That is why remanufactured toner cartridges are available.

There is no compatible OKI Pro9431 toner in the market because the manufacturers of empty compatible toner cartridges ;do not produce ;this model. But the original OKI Pro9431 toner is expensive. Manufacturers produce ;remanufactured OKI Pro9431 toner cartridges ;to save costs.

What is the Remanufactured OKI Pro9431 Toner Cartridge?

The original toner cartridge is manufactured by ;the ;OEM (original equipment manufacturer). When the cartridges are used up, they are recycled. Compatible toner cartridge manufacturers buy these original recycled cartridges for remanufacturing. During the remanufacturing process, the cartridges are disassembled ;and ;cleaned. ;Any available compatible internal parts ;are replaced. If there are no compatible internal parts ;or the compatible internal components ;are not stable, the manufacturer will choose recycled internal parts. ;

After the toner cartridge is reassembled, the engineer will test the quality of this product. When the formula of the toner is stable enough, the remanufactured cartridge will be sold to consumers.

The remanufactured toner cartridges will be cheaper than the OEM ones. OEM manufacturers spend a lot of time and effort on their printers and toner cartridges. They ;make ;up for the loss in selling printers by also selling ;high-price ;original toner cartridges. Remanufactured toner cartridge manufacturers, however, ;have more choices in parts ;and ;accessories. There are hundreds of printer parts ;and ;accessory manufacturers in China. Each has its strengths, and there is competition between them, which can also lead to much lower costs than OEMs ;offer.

The remanufactured OKI Pro9431 toner cartridge is made from recycled toner cartridges.

What Are the Components of ;the Remanufactured OKI Pro9431 ;Toner Cartridge?

There are three components: an empty shell, a chip, and toner powder.

1. Empty Shell ;(also called an empty toner cartridge)

This ;is a recycled empty shell, similar to ;an ;OEM ;cartridge. But there is a big difference: the logo on the recycled empty shell is burned off, as pictured ;below. Are you maybe asking ;why it needs to be burned ;off? Because if the empty toner cartridges retain a ;logo after the compatible toner cartridge manufacturer’s assembly, those cartridges will be treated as fake toner cartridges. Fake toner cartridges are illegal. That is why the remanufactured toner cartridge cannot be packed as an OEM product.

2. Chip

Knowledge of the internal chip’s ;version is essential. Different countries may ;use different chip versions. Entonces, ;before you place an ;order, it’s best to share the OEM code with your supplier to check it. Here are ;some codes as a reference to help you place your ;order:
