There are many models of printer available on the market today and it is important that customers have the choice as to whether or not to purchase branded inkjet cartridges or compatible inkjet cartridges. Purchasing brand name ink cartridges such as Epson inkjet cartridges, HP inkjet cartridges or Brother inkjet cartridges can be quite costly in comparison to the price of compatible ink cartridges. In many cases, savings of between 60 and 70 can be made compared to the cost of buying branded inkjet cartridges, making the decision to purchase compatible inkjet cartridges economical sense.
Branded Inkjet Cartridges
Cartridges made by the printer companies themselves such as Epson, Hewlett Packard, Lexmark, Brother, plus many more can be so expensive that it can be tempting just to throw out the old printer and purchase a new one. As a price comparison, Epson inkjet cartridges straight from the Epson themselves can cost around GBP 45.00 ex vat and upwards whereas, by purchasing from an online supplier, the same type of cartridges can cost around GBP 20.00 ex vat. Generally printer manufacturers produce their own replacement inkjet cartridges. And whilst purchasing for instance an Epson Inkjet Cartridge or a HP Inkjet Cartridge can be an expensive route to take and in some instances this option is the only one available particularly when your new printer comes supplied with an embedded chip inside the inkjet cartridge. The chip helps to regulate the flow of ink or to adjust the cartridge in alignment.
Branded inkjet cartridges usually comes with a manufacturers warranty that guarantees that they remain free of defects until the inkjet cartridge is spent. This guarantee usually covers any defect or malfunction in your branded inkjet cartridge during its lifetime of use. Products that prove to be defective are usually refunded by the manufacturer.
Compatible Inkjet Cartridges
Cost is often a major factor when purchasing inkjet cartridges for your printer. Whilst both branded inkjet cartridges and compatible inkjet cartridges will provide more often than not the same quantity, quality and performance expected from the printer, cost will always be the main deciding factor.
Compatible inkjet cartridges are produced to meet OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) specifications, with standards of reliability and quality being extremely high. The compatible inkjet cartridge as opposed to, for example, Epson inkjet cartridges, HP inkjet cartridges or Brother inkjet cartridges will also print the same number of pages or even more pages than the original branded inkjet cartridges. This is mainly due to the original branded inkjet cartridges such as Epson inkjet cartridges or HP inkjet cartridges are not filled to maximum capacity.
As well as this, compatible inkjet cartridges offer the same print quality as the original inkjet cartridges and are perfectly safe to use. Some printer manufacturers like to promote potential problems and dangers to a machine if a compatible inkjet cartridge is used and some customers will believe that original is best. Compatible inkjet cartridges should not damage your printer and should not void your manufacturers warranty if used.
