The key production and materials of toner cartridge are still held by the original company. However, the company of remanufacturing toner cartridge used trial-and-error to determine the combination of the components in the toner cartridge. It may take a lot of time and cost to find out the optimal setting using this way. In this research, we would use the Taguchi method combining with grey relation analysis and utility concept analysis to analyze the multiple quality response that includes how many papers the cartridge can print and how about the image density of the toner cartridge. This research would find out the most approximate combination of the components in the toner cartridge and discuss the impact on quality of different components. This research takes four factors that include organic photoconductor (OPC) drum, magnetic roller (MR), charge power roller (CPR), and toner for distribution of the experiment. Each factor has three treatments. So, we chose the Taguchi L9 orthogonal table for experiment. Analysis of the experiment presents the impact of OPC on quality isn’t significant. In general, the companies that product the remanufacturing toner cartridge use the new OPC to assemble the cartridge. So, the OPC would be changed or not may be the key point to reduce the material cost.
