Semans Garment Trading Co. is a garment trading company with over twenty years of experience. With its head office in Kowloon Bay, Hong Kong, the company also has an immense manufacturing plant with 150 staff in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, China .
Efficient Use of Resources
Due to business growth over the past years, the company has purchased tens of different laser printers of a variety of brands. These include colo r as well as inkjet printers. The export of garments has increased rapidly in recent years. Semans wanted to expand but was cautious about making too many commitments as potential trade conflicts between China and its trading partners have created much uncertainty for businesses. , It was therefore imperative for the company to make good use of all of its resources.
Convinced by PRINT-RITE's advertising campaign , the administration and accounting departments of Semans experimented with Print-Rite Pro-Eco remanufactured toner cartridges in 2004 and effectively cut costs, without sacrificing printing quality at all. As a consequence, all printers in the company have been using P RINT-R ITE toners since 2005.
“We print a lot of documents, for example, fashion design graphics, every day . As a result we would only use cartridges of the highest quality. The quality of PRINT-RITE Pro-Eco cartridges is just as good as that of their OEM counterparts, except that it is more economical. It is definitely the best choice for Semans.

Environmental Awareness
Mr. Cheng also claims that many European buyers are now getting more concerned about the ecological implications of the products they use. They have a comprehensive set of criteria from material sourcing to manufacturing processes. Using remanufactured print consumables would please these buyers. “As far as I know, remanufactured consumable products are increasingly popular in European countries and some remanufactured products even sell better than goods produced by OEM .”
In the past, tens of used toner and inkjet cartridges were thrown away each month by Semans . Now that the rubbish can be reprocessed again, Mr. Cheng predicts that he will be able to save up to HKD$10,000 a month by printing with remanufactured consumables .
Advantages:
Saving tens and thousands of dollars from consumables expenditure
Contributing to the protection of the environment and immersing in the ethical culture and requirements of international corporate partners

Non- Profit Organization with Good Spending
Chi Yan Association is a non -profit charitable organization, which serves needy individuals in north western New Territories, Hong Kong. Beneficiaries include recent immigrants from Mainland China, CSSA (Comprehensive Social Security Assistance) claimants and single-parent families.
Ms. Lee, Chairman of Chi Yan claims that due to Hong Kong's changing economic structure , the grassroots of the city are facing difficult new challenges every day . The organisation has received an increasing number of support requests as unemployment figures have shown no signs of going down. Government support for the jobless is often deemed inadequate. Therefore, given its limited resources, it is vital for Chi Yan to make the best use of its resources in order to provide services to as many of those who need help as possible.
Long-term U se
At present, Chi Yan runs two service cent ers , in which there are over ten different printers. For a small charity like Chi Yan, the monthly cost of print consumables makes up a substantial part of its expenditure. In view of this, Ms. Lee has decided to use PRINT-RITE Pro-Eco cartridges immediately, as she knows that she could save up to 40% in cost compared to OEM varieties, as well as enjoy even higher print capacity and a 100% quality guarantee.
“We have been using environmentally-friendly consumables for over a year now and have had no problem at all. Pro-Eco series products are compatible with all donated printers, saving Chi Yan a substantial amount of money.” Ms. Lee also says that she c annot even tell the difference between PRINT-RITE Pro-Eco and OEM document printouts. Everyone is satisfied with Pro-Eco.
Cost-saving and Environmental Benefits
Ms. Lee suggests that a lot of people have misunderstood the true meaning behind donations. Some. for example, seem to regard donati ons as a convenient way to dispose of worn out and unwanted items . This might destroy the self-confidence of the young beneficiaries who receive aid. Therefore, it is important to Chi Yan that PRINT-RITE Pro-Eco products can generate high quality print outs.
Moreover, remanufactured consumables can raise staff awareness of the importance of environmental protection .
Advantages:
Making the most out of donated resources
Maintaining the high quality of printing

Superlative After- sales Service
CKW Accounting Firm has been fully employing Print-Rite Pro-Eco print consumables since April 2005. Ms. Ma, the Administrative Secretary of CKW reaveals that there was a story behind her firm's experience with PRINT- RITE's extensive after- sales service.
Excellent Print Quality
Ms. Ma indicates that due to budgeting constraints and ecolog ical considerations, the firm decided to pilot test PRINT-RITE Pro-Eco print consumables in 2004. Initially, some associate partners of the firm did not have a great deal of confidence in the print quality. The rigorous pilot test period, as a result, lasted as long as 3 months to ensure that PRINT- RITE Pro-Eco cartridges would not damage the laser printers. The firm even compared PRINT- RITE printouts with their OEM counterparts, eventually coming to the conclusion that the printing performance delivered by Pro-Eco cartridges is comparable to OEM cartridges before fully adopting Print-Rite products.
Ms. Ma suggests that their firm tends to be conservative and, therefore, they only decided to use P RINT-RITE consumables after several phases of experimentation. Nevertheless, a little incident occurred during the first phase , when PRINT-RITE's attentive after -sales service subsequently made a great impression on the firm's decision-makers.
Brilliant Customer Service
Ms. Ma recalls that, at the beginning of the experimentation period, the machines were churning out random horizontal lines on printed documents. This instantaneously alarmed associates who were initially suspicious of the adoption of environmental toners, and seemed to have vindicated their view that the remanufactured toner cartridges were unreliable.
Fortunately, PRINT-RITE provides its clients with superlative after -sales service. Ms. Ma got in touch through the PRINT-RITE customer service hotline and a professional engineer was sent to her office on the next day for technical support. After a brief inspection, the engineer discovered that it was the printer rather than the cartridge that was malfunctioning. The toner cartridge was placed in an identical printer from another department. All printouts then turned out to be ideal. Ms. Ma immediately contacted the printer supplier for repairs and other associates were now convinced by the quality of PRINT-RITE's environmental toners.
Ms. Ma concludes: “ PRINT-RITE's products are of reliable quality and its after-sales service is excellent. The cartridges it produces are compatible with a large variety of printer models , giving us much flexibility and choice.”
Advantages:
Enjoying attentive and prompt after -sales service
Making the best use of professional technical support through a simple phone call
