The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (P.L. 93-637) is a United States federal law (15 U.S.C. § 2301 et seq.). Enacted in 1975, it is the federal statute that governs warranties on consumer products.
What does that mean for the re-manufacturing industry?
It means that it is illegal for a company to void a warranty on the basis that the consumer is not using a specific branded product. In other words, using re-manufactured products will not void a printer’s warranty!

Understanding “Page Yields” and what it means for you.
Page yields refers to the total prints a cartridge is supposed to print. Most customers will never receive the total pages a cartridge is supposed to yield. This is because the standard testing page inks only 5% of the entire page. A typical text only document will cover about 10-25% of the page. You can see printing just a regular text only document, you will need to use 2-3 cartridges just to receive the total page yield that is stated.
Example of 5% coverage:

Understanding what makes an inkjet printer work.
The basics of an inkjet printer is in the printheads. The printhead sprays tiny drops of ink onto the paper to create an image. The ink cartridge may come with only ink or the printhead may also be attached to the ink cartridge.
Steps an inkjet printer makes to create an image.
1. Before printing starts, most inkjet printers will run a quick printhead cleaning cycle. (this is the clunking you sometimes hear before printing starts)
2. Rollers feed the paper into place
3. The stepper motor uses a belt to move the printhead into any position where ink is to be applied.
4. The printhead shoots tiny drops of ink onto the paper.
5. The final product is rolled out.

Understanding the basics of a laserjet printer.
To understand how a laserjet printer prints is to understand the basics of electrical charges like static electricity. This is how a laserjet printer makes a powder toner adhere to a piece of paper. The first thing is to understand the opposites attract. This is how magnets work, positive charges are attracted to and stick to negative charges.
To explain this in basic terms:
1. The printer puts a negative charge on the paper.
3. The printer’s laser spreads a negative electrostatic image onto a positively charged drum (reversing the polarity only where the image is)
2. The drum roller with the negatively charged image rolls over the positively charged toner, picking the toner on the image only (opposites attract).
3. The paper is then feed to the fuser unit where hot rollers heat up the paper and press the toner onto the paper. Since the toner is partly made up of plastic, the plastic melts and gets pressed to the paper making it adhere permanently.
4. The finished product is rolled out.
