Brand toners vs. compatible toners
Do you have a laser printer? Without a doubt, they are the way to go to print at high capacity and quality. In fact, these laser printers can work with both OEM (brand) toner and compatible toner. Which one is better for you? Some consumers like to save money and others like to make sure they get the best possible quality. It is important to know the pros and cons of each cartridge.
An OEM carry is made by the “original equipment manufacturer.” For example, if you own a canon printer, then your OEM cartridge will also read canon. These toners are manufactured to a high level of quality and will print their best. They have a very low failure rate and will not leak. Printing companies recommend that you use their toner cartridges so that your printer is not affected by compatible toners. They also say that the life of your printer can be affected by other toners. The disadvantage of OEM cartridges is their high cost. Plus, buying remanufactured toner is more eco-friendly.
One advantage of compatible toner cartridges is their low cost. They are available for laser printers and provide high quality printers at less cost and sometimes half the cost of OEM. These are readily available online at sites that sell compatible toner cartridges. Online stores also offer guarantees and endorsements. Print quality on compatible cartridges is also on par with OEM cartridges.
Some disadvantages of compatible toner cartridges include quality control. They are easy to make and can be done at home. When buying them online, you never really know what you’re going to get. You never know if it was actually remanufactured or just refilled. One way to avoid getting screwed if you buy from reputable online stores with 100% satisfaction guarantees. Be sure to look up all the references to buy from someone you can absolutely trust.
If you are one of those people who always wants the best quality and can afford it. So OEM cartridges are definitely the way to go. If you are like me and like to save money, go online and do your research that you are getting a good compatible product that will do the job. You will also be helping the environment. OEM is great because it’s usually guaranteed to work and last, but buying compatible cartridges is cheap and saves money.
