The remanufacturing of products like the Konica Minolta TN311 makes sense, not just for your pocket, but the environment too. When producing these alternatives to the original Konica Minolta 8938402 many of the parts are reused and assembled into a refurbished unit. There are of course genuine Konica Minolta components from the TN311 that are too worn or simply cannot be reused, these pieces are substituted for compatible ones that work with the assembled unit without issue.Although it has a slightly reduced 17,000 page yield, it maintains compatibility with all the same printers, our remanufactured Konica Minolta 8938402 is a viable alternative to the original.
