The Advantages of Using Compatible Printer Ink Cartridges

It’s a continuing controversy – should you as a printer owner use OEM printer cartridges or compatible printer ink cartridges. OEM stands for original equipment manufacturer, so OEM cartridges are those with the same brand as your printer. Even when the printer is affordable, the OEM cartridges, over time, are not. Manufacturers say OEM delivers better image quality and will not damage your printer. Compatible ink cartridges are refilled or unbranded ones, and cost significantly less than their OEM counterparts. So what is the verdict? Will you be better off using OEM or compatible cartridges? A study shows that compatible printer ink cartridges churn out more pages and costs significantly less that original equipment manufacture ink cartridges.
