There is a huge range of printer ink cartridges on the market today. OEM cartridges, compatible ink cartridges and remanufactured printer ink cartridges are all available and deciding on which cartridge type to purchase can be confusing. This guide will provide you with information to help you with your printer ink cartridge purchase.

OEM cartridges

OEM cartridges are Original Equipment Manufacturer cartridges. They are printer ink cartridges that are developed by the manufacturer of your printer. This might be HP, Canon, Lexmark or any of the other printer manufacturers around today. These type of cartridges are generally more expensive than remanufactured or compatible ink cartridges.

Remanufactured cartridges

Remanufactured printer ink cartridges are empty cartridges that are refilled with printer ink. The process involves checking the cartridge for faults, cleaning and refilling with fresh printer ink. The cartridge is then tested to ensure it meets OEM standards. It is essentially a cartridge that has been recycled and therefore excellent for the environment. Remanufactured cartridges are generally cheaper than OEM and compatible cartridges.

Compatible cartridges

Compatible printer ink cartridges are cartridges that have been manufactured to meet or exceed OEM standards. In other words, they are generic brands of printer ink. They use brand new components so are not recycled in any way and are generally cheaper than OEM cartridges.
