What is an
OEM printer cartridge?
An OEM
printer cartridge is an Original Equipment Manufacturer
cartridge. What this is, is a printer cartridge that is
manufactured by the original manufacturer of your printer. So
if you have an Epson printer for instance and you buy an OEM
ink for your printer, you are in fact, buying
Epson
ink cartridges.
If you
have purchased an OEM printer cartridge then you know that you
are buying the right printer ink for your printer.
The only
problem with buying OEM cartridges is that they can be
enormously expensive. I am sure you have heard stories of
people who have purchased a printer only to find that the
printer ink is more expensive than the printer itself.
So what
is the solution? One solution is to buy a compatible printer
cartridge. This is basically a generic brand that does
exactly the same job as an OEM printer cartridge. This assumes
that you are buying from a reputable company that only sells
quality products.
And
don’t think that buying a compatible cartridge will void your
warranty. This is no longer the case due to legislation known
as the
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act.
Another way you can save money is to buy a Refill Kit. This is
basically a method of refilling your printer cartridge with
ink. Check out our Refill Kits
homepage for more info and our list of Best Offers.
Our suggestion is to buy OEM cartridges - if you can afford
it! But to save money go with a compatible printer cartridge
or refill kit.
