Original Ink Cartridges vs Remanufactured Ink Cartridges – What is the Difference?


To finish up the year we will talk about the difference between original ink cartridges and remanufactured cartridges so you can pick your winner in the never ending battle of which one is best for you. In order to make this fair for both sides we will present a short but detailed description of each cartridge for the first round. The second round will include reasons why you should choose them to finish up with our conclusion. Obviously we know the ultimate print cartridge winner will be chosen by you but the aim is to give you the right arguments for whichever side you choose to cheer for.

Round 1

Original inkjet cartridges have been made by the manufacturer of your printer (i.e. Hewlett-Packard, Canon, Xerox and Lexmark to name only a few). The main reason why everyone calls them “original ink” is because the name brand has the patents for their manufacturing. Because they have been made to fit and work best with the printer model and hold a warranty from the printer maker as well they are first place as far as best option for optimal printing quality.

Remanufactured inkjet printer inks on the other hand are what people call the green or environmental friendly option. These cartridges have been recycled, cleaned and refurbished with new parts and printer ink to be reused. What people need to make sure when purchasing remanufactured cartridges is for them to have an ISO 9001 certification to ensure they have undergone rigorous testing and have a long term warranty at least of one year. They usually cost half or up to seventy percent less than original cartridges thus making them not only an earth saving option but also a money saving method.

Round 2

Reasons to use Original Ink Cartridges

1) They have been manufactured specifically for the printer model so they will provide the best printing results
2) They hold the printers manufacturer’s warranty
3) Best to use when printing digital photos because most of them not fade for almost 100 years*

Reasons to use Remanufactured Ink Cartridges

1) They help to save the environment from harmful components that take up to one thousand years to dissolve in wastelands.
2) They work the same as originals but without the high printing cost.
3) They provide excellent printing quality and are best for big printing jobs.
4) At InkjetSuperstore they have a ONE year Guarantee!
5) You can get two or more replacement cartridges for the price of one original ink.

Conclusion

Basically the last word is yours when it comes the time to decide which one is the best for you. We vouch for both types of cartridges because we provide both options for you. When choosing the best cartridges for your printer ask yourself the following questions. What is the type of quality needed? How many pages do you need to print? Then you can make the equation between price and page yield of the cartridge to know how much you’ll spend per page printed. Are you going to purchase one cartridge or get more similar ones at the same time?
