Cardinal Cartridge Removed From iBuyNU

Cardinal Cartridge, Northwestern’s Preferred Vendor for recycled toner cartridges, filed for bankruptcy on Friday, June 9th. Effective immediately, Cardinal has ceased product shipment, and their catalog has been removed from iBuyNU.

If you have an outstanding order with Cardinal, we will assist you in transferring your order to a different vendor. If you have questions about an outstanding order or maintenance on existing products, contact Purchasing Resource Services at 1-8120 or purchasing@northwestern.edu for assistance.

Purchasing Resource Services remains dedicated to providing valuable contracts to help departments and schools make informed purchasing decisions. We are working quickly to find a new vendor for recycled toner cartridges. In the meantime, you can order toner cartridges in iBuyNU from Staples, our office supplies vendor, and from TIG, our computer supplies vendor. Both of these vendors have an extensive line of OEM and remanufactured toner cartridges.
