On June 9, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that Ninestar Corp. and eight of its Zhuhai, China-based subsidiaries have been added to the list of companies whose products will be restricted from entering the United States due to their involvement in business practices that target members of persecuted groups, including Uyghur minorities in China.
Let's keep these cartridges out of our country, and join the remanufactured cartridge movement. Please sign this petition in support!

This is so wasteful and not what consumers want.

The company will again brick your printer if you're not using its overpriced ink

Have you ever wondered if the "remanufactured" or "alternative" printer cartridges you buy are truly remanufactured? Well, I did... so I decided to do a litt...

Join the Movement to Ban Single-Use Cartridges

The city of Los Angeles, California, has unanimously passed a resolution supporting the ban on import for sale of single-use, new built cartridges. With RemanDay, April 14, right around the corner, we want you to share this idea with your elected officials.

The resolution passed by Los Angeles highlights the single-use, anti-environmental nature of these foreign cartridges. However, we have added even more information into the communication you can send them directly, by downloading it at https://i-itc.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/letter-to-elected-official-.docx.

You can send this important message to your local, state and federal representatives by finding them at https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials. In fifteen minutes, you can let your officials know about the negative environmental impact of these cartridges, but also about the positive impact of using remanufactured cartridges and the North American jobs they represent.

If you send these electronically, which you can do easily, please send a copy to me at [email protected]. I’d welcome the chance to see you stand up for our industry, and perhaps share your story.

Got 15 minutes to improve your business and the Globe? Sure you do.

HP Releases Another Round of Diabolical Firmware Updates

Last week, HP released a new firmware package that once again targets – and potentially locks out—aftermarket environmentally-friendly remanufactured cartridges. The printer will not print and displays the error message, “Indicated cartridges blocked for containing a non-HP chip. Event Code: 10.00.46.”

The firmware affects the following printers:
· HP LaserJet Pro M404DN, M404DW, M404N
· HP LaserJet Pro MFP M428DW, M428FDN, M428FDW
· HP LaserJet Enterprise M406DN
· HP LaserJet Enterprise MFP M430F

These updates are infuriating consumers, particularly because they occur automatically and without warning. They cannot be reversed, and render full cartridges useless. Some printers, however can be reset so automatic updates can be turned off (see below). We encourage you to follow these steps, as your printer will perform just fine without these updates.

Class action lawsuits have been initiated over the firmware and are pending. We recently reported on the experience of one auto industry reman executive who encountered the firmware lockout and was forced to throw away five perfectly good cartridges (see https://i-itc.org/the-day-from-hp-hell/).

Environmentally-friendly remanufactured cartridges are one of the targets of HP’s firmware wrath. These cartridges are original cartridges that are scientifically remanufactured and restored to their original condition. For 30 years, remanufactured cartridges have been embraced by consumers and business customers for their better priced and lower impact on the environment.
