What is an original (OEM) cartridge?
An 'original' or 'OEM' cartridge is a cartridge which has been manufactured by the brand specifically for their printer. For example, a cartridge manufactured by Epson for an Epson printer.
'Original' cartridges often cost more than 'compatible' cartridges.
What is a compatible inkjet cartridge?
Compatible ink cartridges are specially remanufactured to meet OEM specifications. Our compatible cartridges are manufactured to the very highest standards of quality and reliability and offer excellent results.
A compatible cartridge will print as many, if not more pages than your OEM cartridge. Not only are compatible cartridges cheaper, your cost per page will also be reduced due to the increased ink levels.
What is a compatible remanufactured cartridge?
A compatible 'remanufactured' cartridge (generally referred to as remanufactured) is an empty 'original' cartridge. For example, an empty branded cartridge that has been factory cleaned, refilled to the maximum capacity and fully tested. Inkjet cartridges sold as 'remanufactured' products are cartridges that have been used at least once by a consumer and then refilled by a third party.
Ink cartridges can be recycled and refilled up to seven times, which has a positive impact on the environment, reducing waste and decreasing the use of plastics.
Will I get the same number of printed pages from a compatible cartridge as an original cartridge?
You will get at least the same number of printed pages, and often more, from compatible cartridges as you will get from original (OEM) cartridges.
