TonerPlus to Unveil the HP 4000 Hopper at World Expo'98
Austin, Texas — In keeping with its "First To Market" strategy of developing new products for the
remanufacturing industry, TonerPlus has scheduled World Expo'98 as the venue for introducing its new HP 4000 Hopper.
As of this printing, TonerPlus believes that it is the first company to introduce the HP Hopper to the
remanufacturing industry.
The TonerPlus Research and Development team, in combination with its production arm, has personally
spent considerable time and effort in the development of this new addition to its vast product line. Tom Goebel,
president of TonerPlus, when asked of his organization's motivation for the introduction, stated, "In keeping with one of
our primary core objectives to be 'First To Market' with inventive and new plastic products, we believe that our
new HP 4000 Hopper is one of our cornerstone product developments for 1998."
He added, "The timing of our production with World Expo coincided nicely to allow us to show the
industry our commitment to new product development and to demonstrate the advantages of our new HP 4000 Hopper."
When asked about the benefits of using the new HP 4000 Hopper, Purchasing Manager Cole Barton
stated, "The use of a new hopper has several advantages to remanufacturers; but first and foremost is the time
savings incurred with the new HP 4000 Hopper."
The new HP 4000 Hopper eliminates the need to split the original OEM Hopper. Other benefits include
the viable replacement of OEM HP 4000 hoppers damaged in the remanufacturing splitting process and cost savings
in reduced labor output. In addition, the hopper is sealed and filled resulting in further time and labor savings.
Barton added, "The addition of finished products of this type allows remanufacturers not only to save
time, but to place an emphasis on the sales and marketing aspect of their business to increase product distribution."
Additionally, representatives at TonerPlus stated their intention to put together sample HP 4000 Hoppers to
be offered during World Expo. Remanufacturers can test the sample hoppers in the comfort of their own facilities
after Expo.
