G&G Resets OEM Chips to Beat Firmware Updates

Following the announcement of its “reborn” cartridge solutions, G&G claims it is now able to reset and reuse the original OEM chips for use in certain copier cartridges.

“G&G Reborn has OEM genes,” explained Veronica from the G&G Print Lab. “The reborn cartridges are fully remanufactured products so they offer a true OEM printing experience.” Veronica explains the quality is identical but the prices are cheaper than the OEM original.

Remanufactured cartridges are available now for use in Ricoh copiers including:

• MP C2003, 2004, 2503, 2504
• MP C3003, 3004, 3503, 3504
• MP C4503, 4504, 5503, 6003, 6004
• IM C2500, IM C2000
• IM C3000, C3500
• IM C4500, C5500, C6000

According to G&G, one of the biggest problems facing the aftermarket is the use of chips on aftermarket products. The reason is the printer and copier manufacturers send firmware upgrades to lockout aftermarket cartridges by invalidating the chip on the cartridge. This is not new to the imaging industry and it’s becoming increasingly more common.

The use of reset OEM chips can solve this problem. G&G Reborn cartridges do not change any of the original parameters and functional characteristics of the OEM chips but, according to G&G, simply restore the chip information during the reset process. The reset chips used in G&G Reborn cartridges are deemed to be OEM chips because they are. They share the same, near-zero update risk because it’s believed that no printer OEM will lockout their own chips.
