The launch of G&G Ninestar’s toner cartridges for HP Color LaserJet Enterprise printers (below) has stirred significant concern in the printing industry. Marketed as remanufactured products, these toner cartridges may appear to be an affordable alternative to OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) cartridges. However, they are far from being remanufactured—these products should be considered clone counterfeits.
The Deceptive Label of “Remanufactured”
While the term “remanufactured” implies that a used product is refurbished and restored to meet OEM standards, the reality of G&G’s toner cartridges is far more troubling. These products are not remanufactured; they are clones, or counterfeit versions, designed to mimic HP’s authentic toner cartridges. The key difference?They are not authorized by HP and have not gone through any quality control processes that ensure they meet the same standards of reliability, performance, or print quality. These clone counterfeits are essentially replicas of HP’s original cartridges, built to look similar and function in the same way—at least for a while. But without the rigorous testing and manufacturing standards applied by HP, these clones introduce a range of serious risks.
The Risks of Using Clone Counterfeit Toner Cartridges and Legal Implications: The sale of these clone toner cartridges is an outright violation of HP’s intellectual property. While G&G Ninestar may market these products under the guise of “remanufactured,” they are simply unauthorized copies of HP’s patented designs. Consumers who purchase and use these counterfeit products may unknowingly become complicit in a larger illegal trade that undermines the value of intellectual property.
A Closer Look at G&G Ninestar’s Toner Models

These cartridges are presented as cost-effective alternatives to HP’s genuine toner offerings. But by using these clone counterfeits, users are not only risking poor print quality and printer malfunctions—they are also supporting an underground market that undermines the integrity of the entire printing industry.
Why dealers and resellers Should Think Twice
Instead of opting for unlicensed, clone counterfeits, businesses should invest in remanufactured alternatives. These products guarantee superior print quality, printer reliability, and legal protection—not to mention they help support ethical business practices and protect intellectual property rights.
