What are compatible printer ink cartridges?

What exactly does ‘compatible’ mean when you are referring to printer ink cartridges? Compatible means that you are buying printer ink cartridges that are manufactured by a company other than the manufacturer of your printer. What this basically means is that you are buying a generic brand.

So what are the benefits of buying compatible printer ink cartridges? The price would have to be the best reason. Compatible ink cartridges can be a lot cheaper than buying original branded printer ink. In some cases they can be up to 80% cheaper.

What about the disadvantages when buying compatible printer ink cartridges? Nothing really – you just need to be careful where you buy them. Compatible printer ink cartridges won’t damage your printer if you buy from a company who you know sells quality products. Like anything else, if you buy an inferior product then you will get inferior results.

And don’t think that buying compatible printer ink cartridges will void your warranty. Legislation has been passed which allows the use of third party products – this is known as the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act. This means that you can use compatible cartridges without voiding your warranty.
