A guide to Compatible and Remanufactured Printer Cartridges
Many people are still unaware of the advantages that compatible or remanufactured printer cartridges offer and instead are buying manufacturers original cartridges which are far more expensive in comparison. So that you can make an informed decision as to whether these alternatives are for you I have recapped on some of the main points in this article.
Compatible printer cartridges:
These cartridges are brand new alternatives to the manufacturers´ original cartridges and whilst made sufficiently different to avoid infringing any copyrights they are still 100% compatible with whichever machine they were designed to fit. These types of ink cartridges can be primarily used in Epson, Canon and Brother machines as all three of these models of printer use simple ink tanks which are easy to create compatible versions of without infringing patents. Typically these ink cartridges start at just £1.49 each in a computer consumables store.
Remanufactured printer cartridges:
These cartridges are typically created for printers such as HP, Lexmark, Samsung and Dell printers which cannot use compatible cartridges for legal reasons. All four of the aforementioned models use complex cartridges that contain all the printing technology inside the cartridge as opposed to it being contained within the printer. This complex technology cannot be legally copied so instead specialist recycling companies buy up the empty ink cartridges, strip them down, clean them out, refill them and then fully test them before sending them on to us. The socially conscious amongst you will also appreciate the fact that by remanufacturing an empty ink cartridge you prevent it from entering a landfill but instead recycle it so that it can be used again. Typically these ink cartridges start at around £8.99 each in a computer concumables store and have the added advantage of often containing more ink that the manufacturers original cartridges.
