	A Break Through in Cartridge Remanufacture A new technique to add to your processing Make serious money from refilling genuine Epson cartridges Triple the range of cartridges you remanufacture


	For many years, Promax Imaging Ltd. has been at the forefront of technological development in the cartridge remanufacturing business. We now are pleased to release the results of two years of research and development: the Promax Plug Valve^¶.


	Promax Imaging’s Plug Valves^¶ are an entirely new approach to the remanufacture of single ink cartridges. However a number of these cartridges are extremely difficult to fill because drilling a hole in the cartridge destroys the complex fluid-vacuum feed system that they use.

The Promax Plug Valve^¶ resolves this problem quickly and easily by fitting in the drilled hole a permanent one-way valve through which ink can be inserted time and time again. Fitting a Promax Plug Valve^¶ is a one-time modification to a genuine OEM cartridge that enables you to refill the cartridge repeatedly at no additional capital expense.
The ease and speed of fitting of these low cost accessories means that customers will come back to you many times to refill their cartridges:
and you can do it:-

to the full OEM fill capacity
more cheaply than supplying a – potentially patent infringing - compatible cartridge

How Do Promax Plug Valves^¶ Work?

The technology behind the plug valve is, like all the best ideas, extremely simple. The OEMs fill these cartridges in a vacuum sealed environment – extremely difficult to create in a small remanufacturing context. Although it is perfectly possible to make a hole in these cartridges and refill them with ink, once you remove the needle, air gets into the ink feed system and prevents it from working, so no ink gets to the printer’s print head.


	The Promax Plug Valve^¶ allows ink to be forced into the cartridge, but once the syringe is withdrawn, the valve seals preventing air from entering the cartridge. The result is a perfectly pressurised refilled cartridge thanks to a small and perfectly formed piece of kit that should become a standard in your remanufacturing workshop.

The Bottom Line

Promax Plug Valves^¶ are provided on sprigs of 20 units. This is the minimum purchase and the only multiples of this unit are available for purchase.
With each sprig of Promax Plug Valves^¶ are provided 20 O-rings for you to fit to the valves before insertion to ensure a perfect seal in the cartridge.
Please remember that, if the cartridge you are refilling has a chip incorporated in its design, this will need to be reset or replaced as part of the remanufacturing process.
