Non Virgin Cartridges

First we determine if the cartridge is NV:

Label is not genuine OEM, remanufacturer’s label instead.

Drum has a different color.

Chips are different from the original.

Non-original screws and clips

Then we also look for:

Any visual damage or missing parts.

Shutter door working, sensor tabs and pins are present and in place

No components are broken or missing.
