Preserve on Toner and Toner Cartridges
In our modern environment, printer is a basic need . The cost of print supply is costly if we use the original equipment manufacturer supplies.
To reduced this cost, the compatible replacement and re-manufactured ink cartridges are good choices.
Let's discuss this in a specific case for HP 60XL ink cartridges. It is the applied ink cartridge model for HP Deskjet F4283, Photosmart C4795 inkjet printers. An online seller with good reputations priced $ 24 dollars for the re-manufactured cartridge. The original equipment manufacturer ink cartridge in the Staples is $ 46. If you wish to refill this HP60XL ink cartridge by ink refill service, the service charge should around $ 15 dollars. As you could see the differences in price among these specific types of ink cartridges, let's investigate further more for the refill cartridge, re-manufactured cartridge or compatible cartridge and the OEM cartridges.
Compatible ink cartridges are cartridges that are made by a non-OEM manufacturer other than the original manufacturer (see ink cartridge ). For example, the OEM 60XL cartridge is packaged by smart box with a clear HP brand logo. If there is no HP logo shown on the package of a 60XL ink cartridge, it is a compatible or re-manufactured cartridge.
Compatible cartridges are different to re-manufactured cartridges. When a third party factory makes the cartridges by new plastic containers and electronic parts, they are called compatible cartridge. Cartridge that assembled with a professionally cleaned used plastic container called re-manufactured cartridge. Usually, re-manufactured cartridges are made by OEM manufacturer and third party manufacturer. The cartridge factory checked and integrated nozzle and then replaced the electronic circuit and drum to finish up by filling with good quality ink formulations. The remanufactured cartridge will be tested before it leaves the factory. Many users find that there are little or no difference among remanufactured cartridges, compatible cartridges and OEM cartridges.
Because the large demands of the ink cartridges, it is not surprised that lots of manufactures have started to offer refill kits for inkjet printer. Printer owners always look forward to the cheap source to keep their printer working. This is the reason that the ink refill business is more and more popular in these days. However, if users refill the cartridges themselves, most of them will find too many problems while refilling the cartridge. The fingers have been blackened; the clean carpet has been dyed with colors; the green desk top has been spilled with cyan ink drops permanently and so on.
In addition, not all of the ink cartridge could be reused or refilled due to the special design of the chips. This makes the refill cartridges yield only half of the page yields as the OEM cartridges'. Also, the quality of the printed color from refill cartridges is always different to the OEM ink cartridge, which induced by the use of unknown brand of the ink formulations by the refilling service. Consequently, it is not suggested to use refill ink cartridges.
In conclusion, ink cartridges for inkjet printer can be re-manufactured. Quality verified companies offer compatible or re-manufactured cartridges that very similar to the quality of the OEMs in a lower cost. However, some replacement ink cartridges are in a very economical price. Please recognize that they are not the re-manufactured cartridge or compatible cartridge but the refill cartridges. From experience, most of these are of doubtful value. These cartridges work very well at the beginning, but their page yield appears to be lower than other types of cartridges. No questions that when you are choosing replacement toner cartridge, make sure you purchase the cartridge from the ISO 9001 quality verified factory.
