Types of Inks
There are essentially three types of printer inks in the market: generic, re-manufactured and branded ink. Branded ink is also called original equipment manufacturer (OEM) ink. Generic ink is often marketed at much lower prices than brand inks. A generic ink might be sold at $15 compared to a $65 branded ink – providing an enticing 4-fold in savings.
Coming close to generic ink are re-manufactured or refurbished cartridges. If your business is environmentally conscious using recycled cartridges reduces your carbon footprint and does not consume additional manufacturing resources. You will find that refurbished ink cartridges offer prints that are very similar to new OEMs at a fraction of the price.
Good refurbishing manufacturers make sure to use only the very highest quality supplies, equipment and procedures. This ensures all of the cartridge parts are cleaned and refitted properly prior to being placed in refurbished ink cartridges.
