Will compatible cartridges void my warranty?

OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. Our in house brand cartridges are not OEM cartridges. OEM cartridges are the named brand cartridges that you often see at stores.

Compatible are brand new cartridges that are not named-brand. These include generic, and Ink Hero brand of items. They are compatible to work the same as the original brand.

Remanufactured cartridges are cartridges that are rebuilt. This helps keep our environment clean, and reduces the waste burden. We fully test each remanufactured cartridge to perform as well as the originals. Rest assured with our refund policy.

Compatible cartridges are the best way to save money on printing.  Printer manufacturers have been overcharging on original brand ink and toner products for years. One way they justify the high price tag is by constantly bringing new printer models to market.  In order to cover the cost of research, production and distribution of their latest models, they force the customer to pay a premium for name brand cartridges.  Companies that carry compatible products do not have to worry about the overhead cost of designing and distributing a new printer every few months, allowing them to offer a similar product for a much lower price. If you buy from a reputable compatible supplier, you’ll get the same quality results as the original manufacturer brand, for a fraction of the price!

Why choose compatible printer cartridges?

Ink Cartridges uses liquid ink to print. The nozzles spray tiny drops of ink onto the page. Toner cartridges use a dry toner powder to print. The toner powder uses static electricity to heat and bond the toner on to the page. Inks are commonly used amongst households and photographers whereas toner cartridges are commonly used with businsesses and schools. Toner cartridges have low operating cost and pages print quickly. Ink Cartridges hopwever cost more, print slowly, but the photo quality is high.

What's the difference between ink and toner?

The estimated length of time a cartridge will last in its sealed package.  Shelf life can vary depending on what sort of cartridge you are using.  The average shelf life for a compatible cartridge is 36 months, while the shelf life for a genuine cartridge is only 24 months.

Ink Hero brand cartridges are filled to the same capacity will print the same amount, if not more, than the original brand cartridge.  Page yield is the approximate number of pages that can be printed with a particular cartridge.  Since everyone’s printing habits are different, actual page yield can vary from user to user. In order to hold manufacturers accountable to the same standards, every ink cartridge is subjected to page yield testing based on ISO/IEC 24711 specifications. This test helps determine what the page yield of an ink cartridge will be, giving customers a reliable way to compare competing products. The manufacturer’s cited page yield for ink and toner cartridges is given at 5% coverage. This means that the quoted page yield is based upon printed pages where only 5% of the page has been imprinted with ink. This comes out to be a small amount of imprinted ink – roughly one quarter of the page. For example, a short memo has approximately 5% coverage. If you are printing letters, using legal size paper, printing photos, web pages or any type of graphics, your coverage will vary greatly and your page yield will drop significantly.
