The remanufacturer and supplier has launched the GP gear technology for replacement OPCs.
The company’s new gear, which has been produced as a result of “years of research and design”, features a “unique design” that Green Project states is “not only different, but also takes into consideration the need for a high quality print that consumers expect”.
The gear has been inspected by US Customs and Border Protection “without any objection”, and each one contains special markings and a bright green colour scheme “for quick and easy identification”, meaning there is “no confusion for these special gears”, according to Green Project, which also added that the gear does not infringe Canon’s 803 and 405 patents.
The company noted in turn that the gear is patent pending in both the US and other nations, and will be available in most of its monochrome and colour toner cartridges. A “covert authentication” platform developed by TruTag Technologies will also ensure the gear “is not copied and knocked off”, meaning customers know that they are “receiving the true […] gear”.
Joseph Wu, President of Green Project, stated: “This has been a work in progress for the past few years and I am happy to say that we now have a solution for our replacement Canon and HP Toner cartridges.
“The focus was not to rush and make a quick gear, but to design the gear properly so that the print quality is ensured and that our gear does not damage the printer with prolonged use.”
Aster Graphics recently released a “patent-free” drum gear for use in the US market in response to the Canon GEO.
