Printer cartridges can be divided into two main groups: Ink cartridges for inkjet printers and laser toner cartridges for laser printers. These are further devided into 3 types, Genuine (OEM) cartridges, compatible cartridges and remanufactured (Recycled) cartridges.


Genuine OEM cartridges are manufactured by the original printer manufactured or by their licenced partners. These printer cartridges will be identified by their respective printer manufacturer's logo, such as HP, Canon, Epson, Lexmark, etc. You will find these cartridges at a higher prices then the other alternatives, primarily due to the pricing policy of the manufacturing companies . ie. printers are sold at very affordable prices and to recoup the costs (original loss on the printer and the research and developement costs) through the sale of the cartridges.

Compatible cartridges are specially manufactured to meet or exceed OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) specifications, offering the same quality and reliability of OEM cartridges. However, they are manufactured by third-party manufacturers and do not carry the printer brand names on the cartridges.

Compatible cartridges are very economical compared to the OEM cartridges, they are manufactured to the exacting standards with all the components (e.g. replacement chips) so that they are fully compatible with the specific printer models. For daily printing the compatibles are adequate. Our range has successfully been in use with very good feedbacks and so we are happy to offer the satisfaction guarantee. These cartridges are recommended by photograpic clubs as the print quality is comparable to the original cartridges.


Remanufactured cartridges are recycled cartridges. They are OEM or third party manufacturer's inkjet and toner cartridges which have gone through one cycle of service and have gone through the recycling process. Every remanufactured cartridge has to be thoroughly cleaned, worn out parts replaced, filled with the same ink formulation, and gone through vigorous testing.

Use Recycled printer cartridges - to make the world a better, safer, greener place to live in.
