The right printer ink is vitally important to the quality of your prints. Buying inferior or low-grade ink cartridges just because they are cheap are a recipe for disaster. Poor quality ink cartridges will not only provide you with poor quality images but they can also damage your printer.

Buying OEM ink cartridges is a great way of ensuring that you are buying good quality printer ink for your printer. OEM cartridges are ink cartridges that have been created by the manufacturer of your printer. Unfortunately the cost of these cartridges is often very expensive.

With this in mind, many people look for cheap alternatives in order to save money. Unfortunately, many buy inferior products that just don’t provide the print quality they are expecting. This may include smudged prints, lines through the page and uneven colors.

When buying ink cartridges, ensure that you avoid universal cartridges. These cartridges state that they can be used for all printer brands. Generally, each printer uses a specific type of ink and using a universal ink cartridge could damage your printer. This is because manufacturers use different ink viscosity for different printers and a universal cartridge has a standard ink viscosity. Whether you buy OEM, remanufactured or compatible cartridges, ensure that you buy the cartridge which is specific to your printer brand.

Buying cheap does not have to mean buying inferior products. Good quality ink cartridges can be found online and at discount prices.

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.
