Laser Technologies

We believe in helping others, we actually enjoy it. There's a special feeling you get when you've helped someone else and seen how much it means to them. That's how Laser Technologies got started. In 1987 Mr. Stephen saw the outrageous prices the OEM's (Original Equipment Manufacturers) were charging for cartridges. Having just purchased a Copier Cartridge for the Canon PC 25 (A whopping $125.00!) he couldn't believe that he was supposed to just throw away (Yep, that's right in those days - even now sometimes, Cartridges are thrown away) the empty and stick this hundred dollar plus gadget into the copier and forget about it. Something was wrong with that picture.

At that time Mr. Stephen was involved in the plastics industry. Plastic is a wonderful material. It can be recycled over and over many times with little compromise on the end product. One major drawback to plastic is that no one is really sure how long it would take to break down if it were buried in our landfills, some scientists estimate a THOUSAND years before plastics will completely break down after being put into our landfills. Having the mindset of trying to recycle plastic he attempted to recycle the empty cartridge. Too many contaminants were in the cartridge and nobody wanted to touch it. Intent on doing something positive with this thing, a brief investigation began.
