I think they started out selling "remanufactured" toner cartridges but 
now they have all sorts of related products and services.

From a blurb in their newsletter, The Flash: 

"After years of intensive research, BL has develpoed a special type of
toner for laser printers containing a sublimation fabric dye. Your
laser printer sees this special cartridge as any other toner
cartridge. You print your graphics in mirror image on your laser 
printer using plain paper and your choice of graphics software. Heat 
press the resulting image to transfer the sublimation dyes to fabrics, 
metal, T-shirts [...], plastics [...]. When you remove the paper, 
you'll reveal your image in color on the destination surface. Do 
four-color artwork with multipass printing. For more info [call or 
write]."

and: "Call for Free Samples"

The 1991 list has ten color choices, offers custom colors, and prices
from Jan 1991 are $80/economy cartridge, $300/5 (claims to do 400
copies/cartridge -- no comment on print density) and $265/Professional
cartridge, $1000/5 (2200 copies/cartridge). 

I am/was on the BL mailing list and received some free samples of
those iron-on transfers but never tested them. They felt like the real 
thing. But otherwise:

I used to send them my empty cartridges (even tho' I never bought any
remanufactured ones), but then the payback for being an environmentalist 
dropped from $6/cart to $3/cart. B-)
