There’s a still-going issue about whether to use OEM cartridges or compatible printer ink cartridges. OEM cartridges are those that share the brand of your printer, and these cost a lot. What manufacturers say is essentially this – OEM cartridges bring you quality printing performance at no risk to your printer. Compatible ink cartridges are mostly refilled and generic ones. But these are much more affordable than their OEM counterparts. So which is better to use? Can the public rely on the printing quality of non OEM cartridges? According to one study, compatible printer ink cartridges are not only more affordable, they also produce more printed pages compared to their branded competition.
