July 8th, 2009Benefits of using Compatible Printer Cartridges
There are a number of benefits of using Compatible Printer Cartridges as compared to the OEM Cartridges.
A printer once bought will require cartridges over and over again. Any printing activity just cannot go without cartridges. This is why printer manufacturers make it a point to reduce the price of the printers while selling as against make bundles of profits through selling cartridges.
It is also seen that the printer manufacturers restrict the use of compatible cartridges for warranty issues. This is a myth and has to be rectified. By using a Compatible cartridge no damage can occur to any of the printer part nor will it void the printer warranty.
OEM cartridge implies Original Equipment Manufacturer cartridge. An OEM cartridge is the one manufactured by the original brand manufacturer. An OEM cartridge is also known as Genuine cartridge. Nearly all the brands manufacturing printers like HP, Dell, Canon, Lexmark, Epson, Brother, etc. manufacture printer cartridges. The printing quality of these genuine cartridges is excellent as they are the original ones-manufactured by brand manufacturers.
On the other hand, a Compatible Printer Cartridge is the one which is not manufactured by the original manufacturer. They are normally manufactured by third-party manufacturers. These manufacturers do not manufacture the printers. Their cartridges could be new ones or remanufactured cartridges. The working of these cartridges is as good as the original OEM cartridges. The print quality of these cartridges is OEM Equivalent or even better than the OEM cartridge.
The foremost reason of buying compatible cartridges is its cost efficiency. A Compatible cartridge is up to 50-70% less on cost than the OEM cartridge. Purchasing a compatible cartridge is much cheaper than purchasing an OEM cartridge. In a way you save money which you can spend on buying an additional compatible cartridge.
Also, Compatible cartridges print an equal or even more number of pages than an OEM cartridge. This is due to the fact that OEM cartridges are not filled to capacity. As against Compatible cartridges have more quantity of ink/toner and the print quality is surpassing the OEM Equivalence. So that is a two-fold benefit.
Using these OEM Equivalent or Compatible cartridges is highly advisable due to the environment factor. A Remanufactured or Recycled cartridge helps in reducing the amount of hazardous waste being dumped into the landfill. Because these cartridges are recycled and put to reuse, in a way we actually help save our planet on a great extent.
