In a world flooded with cheap imports and misleading green claims, it’s easy to overlook where your ink cartridges actually come from - and what that means for your wallet, your printer, and the planet.
At DoorStepInk, we don’t just remanufacture ink - we do it right here in the United States. Our 35,000 sq ft facility in Chatsworth, California is where every DoorStepInk remanufactured cartridge is carefully inspected, cleaned, refilled, and tested before it ever reaches your hands.
This isn't just about “Made in America” pride - it’s about performance, trust, and doing things the responsible way.
What Makes American Remanufacturing Different?
When you buy U.S. Made remanufactured ink, you’re getting more than just a recycled product. You’re investing in:
- Higher quality control
- Local jobs and fair labor practices
- Faster shipping and domestic support
- Cartridges built to meet - or exceed - OEM standards
- Environmental accountability within U.S. regulations
At DoorStepInk, our cartridges are remanufactured by skilled technicians using custom-engineered tools, strict quality testing, and proprietary systems developed in our own technology center.
The result? A cartridge that prints beautifully and lasts just as long - if not longer - than many name-brand originals.
The Hidden Problems with Foreign Knock-Offs
While shopping online, you’ve probably seen ultra-cheap ink cartridges that look almost identical to name brands - but are shipped from unknown sellers overseas.
Here’s the problem:
- Most are single-use clones, not remanufactured
- Some violate OEM patents by mimicking original designs
- Quality is inconsistent - they may leak, underperform, or be incompatible
- Once they’re empty, they’re often not recyclable, ending up in landfills
These cartridges are often marketed as “eco-friendly” or “remanufactured,” when in fact they are newly made plastic products shipped thousands of miles, only to be used once and tossed.
That’s not sustainability - it’s wasteful greenwashing.
Supporting U.S. Jobs and Circular Manufacturing
Remanufacturing keeps valuable materials in circulation. Instead of manufacturing a brand-new cartridge, we give used OEM cartridges a second life - and we do it all within a U.S.-based supply chain.
When you buy from DoorStepInk, you're helping:
- Reduce reliance on foreign manufacturing
- Create skilled jobs in local communities
- Support a domestic circular economy
- Encourage responsible consumption and production
