Organic photoconductor (OPC) drums, including Katun OPC drums, work as integral parts of toner cartridges. Katun manufactures its OPC drums as an aftermarket option, which means you can replace the part that comes with a toner cartridge from a manufacturer with one from Katun. Often this can be less expensive than replacing the entire cartridge, which may interest the business owner on a budget.
You can find Katun OPC drums to work with toner cartridges from a variety of manufactures. These include Canon, Panasonic and Toshiba. While the company's OPC drums work with other manufactures, Katun is the main Katun OPC drums provider.
