There are several types of cartridges sold by third-party vendors, and each has its benefits and drawbacks. Here's an overview of the types of cartridges sold by third-party providers.
Original manufacturer's cartridges. These are cartridges that come directly from the manufacturer. They are often covered by the manufacturer's warranty, even if you buy them from a third party. You can sometimes find them online for less than they would cost in a traditional store, but they are still the most expensive option.
Compatible cartridges. Third-party compatible or Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)-compatible cartridges are made by a third party company using the original manufacturer's specifications.
Compatible products typically have a better performance record than remanufactured, because compatible cartridges are made new and not recycled. They can cost 30% to 50% less than the original brand.
Remanufactured cartridges. With remanufactured or refilled cartridges, a third-party company collects used cartridges, replaces damaged or worn components, and refills the cartridges with third-party ink. If you buy a remanufactured cartridge, you'll get an original cartridge containing third-party ink.
Home refill kits. If you order a home refill kit, you'll receive one or more bottles of ink, syringes or needles, and a cartridge holder. Refill kits for some brands include additional tools as well.
Many refilled, remanufactured and third-party compatible cartridges are safe to use and much cheaper than original cartridges-and millions of businesses and home printer users buy them every day. Choose a reputable vendor with a strong guarantee and a rigorous testing process, and you're sure to find a dependable source for discount printer cartridges.
