Katun® Corporation Introduces the Katun® Performance™ Drum Unit/Cartridge for use in Canon imageRUNNER 1018/1023-series Digital Copier/Printers
MINNEAPOLIS -- (July, 2009) -- Katun Corporation, the world’s leading alternative supplier to the office equipment industry, is proud to introduce the Katun® Performance™ drum unit/cartridge for use in Canon imageRUNNER 1018/1023-series digital copier/printers. This remanufactured Katun® Performance™ DU/C has been developed and tested to ensure full compatibility with the OEM toner, and to provide print quality, toner yields and performance equivalent to that received when using the OEM DU/C with OEM toner.
“This popular Canon machine family is still being placed by Canon dealers/distributors and has proven to be extremely successful, with estimated worldwide placement of over 120,000 units since the initial introduction in late 2006,” says Joseph C. Wagner, vice president of marketing. “This Katun® Performance™ remanufactured DU/C represents the first OEM-alternative option available, and now offers dealers and distributors significant cost-saving opportunities and enhanced long-term profitability on a large and still current machine base.”
This Katun DU/C is the result of a robust remanufacturing process, which includes replacement of the OPC drum, drum cleaning blade, and primary charging roller. As with other Katun® Performance™ products, this drum unit/cartridge consistently delivers overall performance (including image density, background and yields) equivalent to that of a new OEM DU/C. And like other Katun® Performance™ remanufactured DU/Cs, customers can expect OEM-equivalent performance at a fraction of the cost of a new OEM drum unit, thereby providing the best overall value.
These Katun® Performance™ drum unit/cartridges for use in Canon imageRUNNER 1018/1023-series DC/Ps may be ordered via the Katun Online Catalogue -- Katun’s one-stop Internet resource that allows registered customers to locate and order thousands of Katun products while accessing real-time information about their orders and accounts.
