By Law It’s Over for Chinese Ninestar Toner in the US,
but OEM’s, Resellers and Distributors are Still Covertly at It.
Ninestar, the Chinese toner behemoth, has been dealt a fatal blow by the US court, which the US reman toner industry has been waiting for since June 2023. However, some US OEMs, distributors and resellers are still in denial of the reality and continue to exploit US consumers with these banned products. Still to date, NO statement from SCC, Arlington, Ld Products, ACM, Green Project and others about their supply and demands for these Ninestar toners.
Tonernews.com has been the leader in exposing and opposing Ninestar’s products, which have harmed US manufacturing and consumers for over a decade. We have always supported US recycling and remanufacturing and we will not stop. We have also discovered that other Chinese competitors, such as Aster Graphics, HYB and others, are attempting to fill the gap that Ninestar has left behind. This is not surprising, since the US market is still very lucrative, with billions of dollars in annual revenue.
OEMs like Epson, Konica Minolta, Sharp, Lexmark and even Xerox are still covertly collaborating with Ninestar for production and have not been transparent about their dealings towards the banned company since last June 2023. Its not easy getting off the juice once you are hooked on cheap labor. Europe is the next battleground in the fight against Ninestar. Reman toner organizations like Etira and the Asociace renovátorů tonerů, z.s. (ART), which is a association of toner recyclers in the Czech Republic have been taking a more proactive approach to getting the ban on Ninestar, but everyone knows that dealing with the European Union to get things done can take a very long time, nevertheless they are following the Tonernews.com approach of exposing the injustices of Chinese slave labor and its impact on the industry.
Just today David Gibbons of China’s RTMWorld.com said: I am sure that Ninestar will not accept this defeat and will think that “there is still a war to be won.”
We urge everyone in the US aftermarket toner industry to stop selling these banned products, we expect to receive information that OEMs and US Ninestar Resellers and Distributors are still at it, and we will blatantly expose these companies who are violating the ban, so stay tuned.
