TonerPlus Now Distributes the OTC Ritehopper

Long Island City — Optical Technologies Corp. is pleased to announce that TonerPlus will be distributing its expanded toner hopper for the HP 4000, the RiteHopper. "We are thrilled to have another industry leader promoting this innovative product," said Lester Cornelius, president of Optical Technologies Corporation.

"TonerPlus has many innovative products and I believe that RiteHoppers will become another high-value product for the industry, especially when combined with TonerPlus' other components. I expect a wonderful synergy with TonerPlus," said Cornelius.

The large capacity RiteHopper holds 750 grams of toner, which is 50 percent more than the 'EM toner fill of 500 grams. The RiteHopper has been designed and refined to allow for the increased capacity.

"This hopper will give remanufacturers an opportunity to meet and beat 'EM products on every issue," said Cornelius. "A remanufacturer can now compete on the basis of image density, yield, and, of course, price."

"In addition to its increased capacity, the RiteHopper is coated on the inside with TonerGlide (patent pending) conductive coating. The coating neutralizes the toner's electrostatic properties to assure that only a trace amount of toner remains, thus further improving efficient toner consumption and increasing the cartridge yield. Cornelius said.

Another benefit of the RiteHopper is its ability to convert a 27A into a cartridge that exceeds the 27X capacity by 50 percent. "The 27X cores are in short supply," Cornelius said. "However, there are a wealth of 27A cartridges available on the market today. Now those cartridges have been given a new opportunity for upgraded remanufacturing."

OTC is committed to advancing technology in the toner cartridge remanufacturing industry while easing the burden placed on remanufacturers by the changes in 'EM technology. OTC is an industry leader in imaging component coatings and products. The New York-based company sells and licenses special coating formulations to the federal government and Fortune 500 companies.
