ISO 9001:2008 is a set of standards and guidelines for quality in the manufacturing and service industries from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). ISO certification ensures that the processes that develop the product are documented and performed in a quality conscious manner.
STMC stands for the Standardized Test Methods Committee. The International Imaging Technology Council administers the STMC program which assures its proper usage and polices against misuse of the STMC program and logos. For more than a decade, the STMC symbol has been the remanufacturing industry's indicia of quality. The test methods are used to evaluate toner printer cartridge performance. STMC uses certain ASTM test methods to evaluate a finished cartridge in comparison to another cartridge, usually an OEM cartridge.Â

Here are a few facts that we are proud to share with you:
All incoming materials are inspected against
stringent quality standards before they
reach the production floor.
Only premium empty cartridges are
selected to ensure optimal quality.
All packaging materials, used hoppers
and non-conforming components
are disassembled and recycled.
Empty cartridges are carefully disassembled
and cleaned; RPT Toner then splits the hopper
using a proprietary process with custom
splitting equipment and the hopper
for the sealing phase.
Using automated filling equipment,
each cartridge is precisely filled to
the exact specified weight.
Each toner hopper is sealed with an OEM
style seal. Our quality sealing process
ensures a leak-proof cartridge
that is easy for the consumer to install.
Our factory-trained technicians assemble
all cartridges with OEM grade compatible
components (up to 75% new components
are used in each cartridge.) The assembly
process includes the installation
of a pre-qualified drum, wiper
blade, doctor blade, PCR
and magnetic roller.
Each and every cartridge is post tested,
utilizing industry standard print tests
to ensure outstanding performance
and quality.
All cartridges receive a final inspection to
ensure they conform to our stringent quality
standards. Cartridges are cleaned, polished,
heat-sealed in a static resistant bag
and boxed. A full set of instructions
and warranty information is included.
Each step in our manufacturing process is
monitored by dedicated Quality Control experts.
Each step in our production process undergoes
regular and spot inspections to guarantee
that our products will meet the
expectations of the consumer.
Intellectual Properties (IPs) have been a rising focus in the imaging aftermarket. RPT genuinely remanufactures our own cartridges rather than using cloning OEMs. We want you and your business to beware of such issues and to avoid the risk of patent infringement.
The past five years have seen an enormous increase in legal action from OEMs and signs point to this trend continuing to rise. The OEMS have sued cartridge resellers for labelling a clone cartridge as remanufactured, using a few dozen patents so far, representing a very small portion of their available IP profile. It is important to know if your cartridge was genuinely remanufactured to prevent your company from being sued for product misrepresentation.
GEOs issued by the International Trade Commission (ITC) to block infringing products from importation
Epson’s stock soared as clone competitors were taken out of the marketplace.
Lexmark actively searches for infringing cartridges. Many dealers are paying fines to stay out of court.
ITC Judge has issued an initial determination that renders this GEO all but inevitable. It will affect dozens of the most popular cartridges in the US.
