New Vendor for Toner Cartridges


The Purchasing Department, in partnership with ETS Communications & Network Services, is pleased to announce that the College will now purchase all toner cartridges from Printer Components Incorporated (PCI) of Victor, New York.

PCI remanufactures a complete line of OEM compatible toner cartridges for Hewlett Packard and several other major brands of laser printers.  In addition they carry inkjet cartridges.  The purchase of toner cartridges from this vendor provides several benefits to the College including cost savings on the cartridges themselves and no cost cleaning/trouble diagnosis for all printers.  Using remanufactured cartridges is also beneficial to our environment:  PCI recycles 100% of cartridge components.

For many years we have ordered toner cartridges through our office product supplier, Staples, via the StaplesLink.com on-line ordering system.  Purchasing requests that you now order toners (laser and inkjet) by creating a requisition in Banner, using vendor number M00013636 (Printer Components, Inc).  Continue to use the same OEM part number you have always used on your orders.

This new relationship with PCI does not change the College process for printer problem resolution.  Should you experience problems with your printer, continue to contact the ETS help line (dial 4357, option 1).  An ETS technician will ‘triage’ the problem and determine if the services of PCI are needed for a repair.
