Phoenix (Feb. 22, 2019) — LD Products, North America’s No. 1 online toner distributor, is pleased to announce a hugely successful first year for their newly formed Channel Partners Division (CPD).
Launched in January 2018, the Channel Partner Division was created to provide copier dealers and managed print providers with LD’s exclusive line of premium quality new built toner cartridges called the GOLD Line series.
In just 12 months, LD’s GOLD Line has already achieved North America’s lowest return rate for aftermarket monochrome and color cartridges with just 0.1% of products shipped, returned and received global recognition for providing the imaging industry with a true, new build alternative to OEM and leading remanufactured cartridges.
“We’re overwhelmed with how receptive Dealers and Managed Print Providers have been to try our new premium quality new built cartridges” stated Aaron Leon, founder and CEO of LD Products. “Resellers are telling us our GOLD Line is actually a step up in quality versus leading remanufactured cartridges for about 20 percent less.”
Sample Dealer Testimonials:
“I wanted to let any potential customer of LD products know that Fisher’s Technology has had nothing but a positive and professional business experience with both the products and the people within LD.
“We have been using the GOLD Line products from LD Channel Partner Division for over a year now and we couldn’t be happier. The product quality is outstanding and the return rate of 0.076% we have experienced; rival’s OEM return rates and quality at a much lower cost. The GOLD Line products have enabled us to be more competitive and profitable in our MPS environments and with a very low return rate and consistent yields we are able to protect that profitability.”
Eric Taylor, VP of service delivery – Fisher’s Technology
“We were skeptical of LD’s GOLD Line based on our experience with new builds with various vendors before, but we’ve had ZERO defects or returns since January 2018!
“I highly recommend this product to anyone looking to increase their margin without sacrificing quality, reliability or yield expectations.”
Ron McClintock, director of aftermarket services – COPY PRO

The feedback on cartridge quality and performance is no surprise to LD executives given the multimillion-dollar investment made in 2017 to design, develop and field test the GOLD Line cartridges for dealer validation prior to the official launch in January 2018.
