Do you really need to purchase a genuine HP ink cartridge for your printer?

If you have run out of ink for your HP printer and are ready to purchase a new HP ink cartridge you might like to know that there are other alternatives to purchasing a genuine printer ink cartridge. A genuine HP ink cartridge is expensive but there are other options you might like to consider.

A genuine HP ink cartridge is also known as an OEM cartridge. OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. This essentially means that your cartridge has been manufactured by the Hewlett Packard company to meet all the requirements for your printer. Unfortunately, genuine HP ink cartridges are expensive – in some cases you might even pay more for your HP ink cartridge than you did for your printer.

So what are your alternatives? One option is to purchase a compatible HP ink cartridge. Compatible cartridges are generic branded cartridges that do the exact job as an OEM printer cartridge. And there is no longer the problem of thinking that using a non OEM cartridge will void your warranty. This is no longer the case due to legislation known as the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act 

Another way to purchase your HP ink cartridge, and keep costs down, is to buy a remanufactured cartridge. Remanufactured printer cartridges are empty original cartridges that have been cleaned thoroughly and then refilled with printer ink. These printer cartridges are then tested and approved to ensure that they provide the same performance as a new cartridge.

Whichever method you choose to purchase your HP ink cartridge you will find that you will make great savings and buying online makes the process easy.
