Any component in a OEM cartridge is rated for single use. Reusing the critical components would either mean that you would have mid cycle failure, or a faulty cleaning blade might lead to powder spillage in the printer leading to fuser unit damage. The opc drum might develop dots which might show on the printout, and subsequently you would change the cartridge mid way. Here you loose money on refilling and get poor prints with which you have to compromise. Recycled cartridges give same output as an OEM. Refilled cartridges give only almost 35% output when compared to OEM or recycled.
