10 Reasons to Use Remanufactured and Compatible Cartridges

As a consumer there could be certain apprehensions when thinking on purchasing remanufactured or compatible printer cartridges. While they know that purchasing aftermarket cartridges will help them save money, there are always worrisome thoughts of print quality, warranty expiration and more. 

 


The following are ten reasons explaining why it is safe to use our branded cartridges.

1) Compatible or remanufactured cartridges work with most printers

By now you will find that hundreds of thousands people purchase and use compatible and remanufactured cartridges each day. Fortunately there are compatible and remanufactured cartridges for about every printer in the market. We do acknowledge that recently released printers are harder to find but it is our experience that in a matter of 6 to 8 months you will find alternative cartridges.

2) Compatible or remanufactured cartridges are similar to OEM cartridges

One of the most important reasons people use alternative cartridges is because they work just as well as original ones without the high cost. It is important to choose retailers that sell high quality remanufactured and compatible ink. How do you know if they are? Easy, ISO 9001 certification certifies that high standards were met at the time of manufacturing.

3) Remanufactured and Compatible Cartridges save you up to 70%

By using our branded alternative cartridges you will save in some instances from 50 to 70% on the purchase price, compared to original cartridges. It is important to know that compatible cartridges are brand new cartridges and the only difference is that they don’t have the printers’ brand. Remanufactured cartridges on the other hand have been recycled and refurbished with new parts and ink solutions to work with your printer one more time.

4) Remanufactured cartridges are NOT refilled cartridges

As we explained in the previous reason, remanufactured cartridges undergo a specific remanufacturing process. They are cleaned and some parts are replaced with new components. Depending if it is an inkjet cartridge or laser toner cartridge the ink formula is inserted. The cartridges also endure testing to make sure they work properly. They are inspected for leakage and go to strict testing before being ready to be sending to you.

5) Using compatible or remanufactured cartridges will NOT damage your printer

There is a myth that using compatible and remanufactured cartridges will damage your printer. That’s what printer manufacturers want you to think so they can sell you very expensive OEM cartridges. Printer cartridges are self-contained units. Defective cartridges can flop and not print or leaking can happen. Nonetheless, these malfunctions will not damage your printer and it could also happen to OEM cartridges.

6) Our compatible or remanufactured cartridges have a full year warranty

A very important reason to use our branded compatible and remanufactured cartridges is because we provide a 100% guarantee and extended warranty (1 year) to our customers. This warranty period is similar or even better than that of OEM cartridges. If for any reasons you are not satisfied with our cartridges, you are able to return them for a free replacement of full refund.

7) Compatible or remanufactured cartridges print the same pages as OEM cartridges

Every printer cartridge should state their page yield or cartridge yield. This means the amount of pages they will print with the printer ink they hold. A lot of the time there are more options of getting remanufactured and compatible cartridges that are high yield cartridges meaning they print more pages. And the great part is that alternative high yield cartridges are still priced lowered than regular OEM cartridges. It is important no matter what type of cartridge you get to know the amount each cartridge prints to consider the cost per page and really evaluate the savings.

8) Using alternative cartridges helps save the environment

It is a well-known fact that recycling and reusing help the environment. You should know that cartridges that are dumped in landfills or disposed of improperly do not disintegrate in thousands of years and are very harmful.

9) Compatible cartridges are brand new cartridges

Now that you know how remanufactured cartridges work, it is fair to give compatible cartridges the same treatment. Compatible cartridges are similar to OEM cartridges because they are brand new cartridges, never been used devices ready to use. They work exactly the same as original cartridges but the only, but very important reason is the price difference between the two.

10) Using compatible and remanufactured cartridges will NOT void your printer warranty

A lot of people would like you to believe so but it is not true. Under Magnusson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act, it is illegal for a manufacturer to force you to use a specific product as a condition of a warranty. Printer manufacturers cannot void your printer warranty simply because you choose to use compatible or remanufactured cartridges from other manufacturers.
