False economy from cheap cartridges results in poor print quality requiring reprints, equipment damage creating repair costs, reduced page yields increasing total costs, voided warranties eliminating manufacturer support, and operational disruptions from frequent failures. Strategic toner cartridges Dubai and ink cartridge investments prioritizing genuine products deliver superior total cost of ownership despite higher unit prices.
