What's the difference between Compatibles and OEM? What are Manufacturers hiding from You?

Tricks used by Manufacturers to force Original Product buying

Original ink cartridges and toners are priced so extortionately that they are almost impossible to afford. The cost of an original could go up to 300% times the price of a compatible. While we remain brainwashed by original manufacturers that there are no viable alternatives/options, we give our money purchasing originals with sinking hearts.

But, what if I told you we have been misinformed and have become prey to commercialism and consumerism is the way out? That is, putting customers first should come before making a profit, and any company that understands that in the digital age our consumers are becoming more and more informed would be wise to adopt this. Not only on the basis of corporate social responsibility but also human ethics. Why should anyone pay so much more for guaranteed similar print quality?

This is precisely what we at PremiumCompatibles think. We’re aware of messages printers show when using compatible ink and slight differences in final print quality compared to originals. We are simply saying that the pros far outweigh the cons of using compatible cartridges and toners. If you are a professional designer however, we might recommend the original depending on what you are printing. But on the whole, compatibles not only save money but also sometimes exceed in print quality.

Compatibles also usually contain a lot more ink than the originals and are designed to perform as well as or better that original cartridges. Therefore, they have better overall value than original ink cartridges and toner.

On the internet however there is an abundance of information certifying that originals are far better. This isn’t only not always true. It confirms original manufacturers went the extra mile to ensure brand identity is maintained so they can continue extortionate charging. It’s alright if you require an original but you should also be aware there are alternative options on the market. Not only low cost options, but also premium remanufactured products are available which are remanufactured original cartridges that have had parts replaced to ensure the utmost reliability. At PremiumCompatibles we check and test our products so that they meet the highest standards. Quality is guaranteed.

In conclusion, though there is not much difference in quality, switching to compatibles makes a huge difference to your wallet!

Save money by buying remanufactured ink and toner cartridges.

Understanding the difference between Original & Non-Original products.

Original cartridges are made by the printer manufacturers and are a branded product. This is why they are the highest purchase price to you. Major printer manufacturers have huge overheads and production costs, due to constant development of new technology and a changing market. These manufacturers use their brand name to maximise their profits, convincing the public that they should buy branded goods.

Compatible cartridges are made by a third party company who do not have such huge overheads, and are able to produce a great quality product, at a much lower cost.

Busting the myths on compatible cartridges!

There’s a great myth surrounding ink cartridges, with the public being led to believe that original products are far superior.

Perhaps the biggest concern about compatible products is whether they are reliable like original cartridges and produce good print results. The truth is, buying cheap cartridges from a less than reputable supplier, you’ll likely be buying an inferior product. However, if you buy good quality compatible cartridges from a trustworthy retailer, one that can offer you warranties and guarantees, then you’ll be getting a product that will rival an original cartridge and save you a packet into the bargain!

Our compatible cartridges are made to the highest ISO standards, which gives consumers full confidence that our products are safe, reliable and of exceptional quality.

PremiumCompatibles products come with a 6 month quality guarantee because we are completely confident of their quality, reliability and performance.

Let’s answer some of your questions about compatible cartridges.

If I use compatible products, will it invalidate the manufacturers warranty of my printer?

If your printer is under warranty from the manufacturer or retailer and your compatible / remanufactured cartridges are under warranty from us, then you are covered for all eventualities involving manufacturing faults or defects in either the printer or the cartridges.

What are compatible inks & toners made from?

Compatible ink & toner cartridges are mostly water based, and consist of pigments or dyes and granulated plastic to achieve the individual colours, as well as the black.  Print quality is extremely high, and it is almost impossible to tell any difference between an original or compatible.

Will compatible cartridges work in my printer?

We have compatibles for almost all models of printers, both old and new. If you buy own brand cartridges from us, you will be getting a product of the highest quality, built to the same specifications as the original equivalent, and if we don’t have it in stock, we will source it for you.

Are compatibles just original cartridges that have been drilled and filled with new ink or toner?

No, they are not. PremiumCompatibles products are made from only the best quality recycled components, as well as using new parts, to create a finished compatible cartridge.

Is a compatible cartridge able to print as many pages as an original?

Compatible BCI-10BKWhen you are purchasing a cartridge, you should always check the page yield.  This is displayed in the product description.  Many compatible products will either match or better the page yield of their original equivalents.

Are compatible cartridges ethically better to use?

Did you know that using third party ink will reduce your carbon footprint? For example, with the majority of compatibles being re-manufactured from original products, you are helping the environment and reducing the need for more plastic to be produced.

Are compatibles suitable for an old printer?

As long as you have taken care of your printer, compatibles are perfectly viable. The only consideration is the supply level – are the cartridges still available? We will always try and find you the right product for your machine.
