Compatible Printer Ink Cartridges – the Benefits are Real

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. What manufacturers say is essentially this – OEM cartridges bring you quality printing performance at no risk to your printer. Compatible ink cartridges are refilled or unbranded ones, and cost significantly less than their OEM counterparts. Which of these is better to use? Should you use 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.
