Quality ControlAster Graphics delivers cartridges that are produced according to the highest quality standards and reach or exceed OEM quality at highly competitive prices.

1. Inbound Raw Materials and Components Tests

We work with the top tier suppliers of raw materials and components to ensure the reliability and consistency of our product quality. All incoming materials: drums, toner, blades, PCRs, magnetic rollers, etc. are verified against stringent standards before they reach the production floor.

2. Sort Empty Cartridges

All empty cartridges are sorted and graded. Only premium empty cartridges are used to ensure optimal quality.

3. Ultrasonic Welding

For new compatible cartridges, ultrasonic welding will be used to prevent leaks.

4. Filling Process

By using automated filling equipment ,each cartridge is precisely filled to the exact specified weight. Toner hoppers are filled with premium toners, which are technically matched to the OPCs (drum) for optimal yields and printer performance.

5. Assembly

Every step of production is strictly watched by the Quality Assurance Team, and there are checking spots for the key production steps to conduct a 100% inspection.

6. 100% Post Testing

Every cartridge is tested at the end of assembly to capture and identify any assembly or component errors.

7. Retain Samples Testing

2% packaged cartridges will be randomly selected to perform life testing and extensive environmental testing.

8. Packaging Inspection

All cartridges receive a final inspection to ensure they conform to our stringent quality standards. Cartridges are cleaned, polished, heat-sealed in a static resistant bag and boxed. A full set of instructions and warranty information is included.

9. Tracking System for All Products Sold

All Aster products are traceable. Each cartridge has a bar code contains its components, production date and production team information, etc. It is easy for us to analyze the returned defective cartridges and good for our continuous improvement on quality.
