Printer Ink: Original vs Compatible Ink Cartridges
When choosing ink cartridges, you will also find compatible options from other manufacturers, in addition to genuine cartridges directly from the printer manufacturer. How do the two options differ and what are the advantages?
Original Printer Ink Cartridge - Compatibility is Guaranteed
Genuine printer cartridges (printer manufacturer's cartridge) offer superior print quality, resistance to drying and 100% compatibility with your inkjet printer. The disadvantage may be a higher purchase price.
Compatible Cartridges Score Points with Lower Prices
Compatible ink cartridges are lower in price than genuine ones and often have wider compatibility. One compatible cartridge can be used for several types of printers. Also:
The quality is not necessarily inferior to the genuine cartridge.
You can also find cartridges for older printer models.
