Why pay twice as much for brand name black and color printer, if the HP Compatible Ink Cartridges ,that are remanufactured printer supplies deliver excellent quality results for a fraction of the price?
Name brand printer ink is much more expensive compared to compatible and remanufactured cartridges (refilling your own cartridges is the most cost efficient). Cheaper prices should not mean you should sacrifice quality. However, not all of compatible and remanufactured cartridge manufacturers keep quality at the top of their priority list. When you purchase inkjet or laser toner cartridges you need to treat price and quality as equals.
It is true that all printer ink cartridges cannot be failure-free. Even major name-brand cartridges have 3-5% failure rate. That is why you need to consider quality assurance from your printer ink retailer.
In some cases it is recommended to use OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer or name-brand) printer ink. However, when using compatible or remanufactured cartridges you should not see any difference in quality compared to OEM products. Properly refilled HP Compatible Ink Cartridges will also have the same quality.
