Printer ink cartridges (genuine & compatible)

Genuine (also called original or oem) ink cartridges or ink tanks are made by the same company as your printer (eg Canon, Epson, HP etc). They are brand new and top quality products.

Compatible (also called generic or non-genuine) ink cartridges or ink tanks are also brand new, but made by independent companies, not associated with the printer makers. There are countless generic cartridge manufacturers and quality varies from brand to brand. You get what you pay for.

Remanufactured ink cartridges are used genuine cartridges that have been flushed, refilled, tested and repackaged. Same as with generic cartridges, quality varies from brand to brand.    

Compatible ink cartridges are usually cheaper than genuine. Why? Compatible cartridge manufacturers (like Printrite) don't have to invest huge amounts of money into development of hardware, as the printer makers do. All they design and manufacture is ink and toner cartridges.

We stock Printrite compatible ink cartridges and ink tanks because they seem higher quality than many other brands. When you sell ink cartridges by mail order, returns are expensive, so quality is as important to us as it is to you. Printrite cartridges are well made, fit well and the ink is very good.
