OEM vs. Remanufactured and Compatible Cartridges
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. OEMs, such as HP, Canon, Epson, and Lexmark are the companies that manufacture your printers. OEM cartridges are cartridges that are branded under your OEM's brand.
Recycled cartridges that are disassembled by third parties (other than OEMs) and have their worn parts replaced are called remanufactured cartridges. To guarantee print quality, remanufactured cartridges are generally refilled, tested in the factory and repackaged.
Go for the remanufactured toners where the drum inside has been changed in each toner. Watch out for the vendors that sell cheaper remanufactured toner cartridges without changing the drum inside. When you purchase remanufactured ink or toner, be sure that it is fully compatible with OEM standards.
Compatible cartridges (replacements) are manufactured by third parties (other than OEMs) and fully compatible with OEMs. Compatible cartridges are the imitation of the...

Printer Ink
There are as many varieties of printer ink as there are manufacturers. There is no standardization in the composition of printer ink. All manufacturers of popular brands of printers develop their own variety of printer ink, which works well only with their products. The formula of the printer ink is a closely guarded secret, and is patented by these manufacturers. Epson, Hewlett Packard and Canon spend huge amounts of money in developing their own brands of ink, which are supposed to give superior prints on any type of media.
Printer ink is either dye-based or pigment-based.
Pigment-based ink is superior to dye-based ink, with respect to fade resistance and water resistance properties.
Once the cartridge in the printer runs out of printing ink, a replacement has to be looked for. The options are many. Along with the manufacturer's printer ink cartridges, there are third-party manufacturers who sell their own brands of compatible cartridges. They also...

Worst of all there are counterfeits. And there's a big market for all of them due to the sky-high price of OEM cartridges.The manufacturers are full of tricks.

They run promotions on printers that have sample cartridges that barely have enough ink to try out the new printer.These are all...

The Development of Printer Ink Cartridges
With the introduction of the inkjet printer and printer ink cartridge in 1984, the task of printing your documents and changing printer ink cartridges became more convenient, reliable and cleaner than the previous methods of changing ribbons or inserting a toner cartridge.
Prior to 1984, the ink delivery systems were not as dependable as they are now.
The inkjet system replaced the old dot matrix method, which required changing a ribbon.
It wasn't long before the printer industry began conceptualizing a new ink delivery technique, including the drop on demand method.
Several companies were the driving forces behind developing the inkjet technology, and by 1990 the method was widely accepted.
Today it is the method of choice for printing requirements, and will print both black and white documents as well as color graphics and photos.The quality is excellent, thanks to the development of printer ink cartridges.
It is possible to print...
