When you consider the effect that recycling and re-using in general has on the environment, it is important to review all of the factors when making the decision to purchase compatible imaging products versus OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) cartridges. Find out more about compatible imaging products and how they can impact your business and your world.

Compatible Cartridges and Remanufactured Cartridges are historically often grouped as Non Branded Cartridges. Nowadays, this distinction is not as important as compatible cartridges also often are remanufactured. The main advantage of buying non branded cartridges is that you can save up to 30-70 % in reduced cost compared to buying OEM / Original cartridges.
In addition to cost savings, there is also a great deal of added value, when you consider that compatible cartridges can provide up to 13% more printed pages, as well.

What is a compatible cartridge?
A compatible cartridge is a cartridge that is not produced by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). These cartridges are designed to meet or in best case even exceed the standards set by the OEM in terms of performance, print quality and page yield. To achieve this, the making and quality level of the inkjet ink or laser toner is crucial. Compatible cartridges are now available for all the larger printer brands such as Dell, Toshiba, Panasonic, Sharp,  Canon, HP and Lexmark.
 

Are you allowed to use a compatible cartridge in your printer?
A common question is if you are allowed to use compatible / remanufactured cartridges without voiding the printer warranty.
The answer to this question is Yes! You are allowed to do this which is also very clearly stated in the Magnusson-Moss Warranty act issued by the Federal Trade Commission. The printer makers cannot force you into only buying their cartridges, it’s up to you as a consumer to make the choice on what you want to buy.

What about the quality of compatible cartridges?
Not all compatible and remanufactured cartridges are equal. Overall compatible cartridges have been shown by independent research to perform as well, and in some cases better than the mfg. equivalent. A test by Trusted Reviews showed that many users actually prefers the printing results from compatible cartridges while PC World showed that compatible cartridges most often yields more printouts than OEM cartridges. If you are worried about the quality of the compatible ink or toner please remember that it is not the only factor affecting the print quality. The capabilities of the printer and the quality of the printing paper also have significant impact on the end results. The compatible imaging cartridges that we carry at Superior Fax & Laser are hand  re-manufactured to the highest standards and are 100% Guaranteed.
