Cartridge Type

	Genuine or OEM (Original) Cartridges	Remanufactured Cartridges	Compatible Cartridges
Description	OEM stands for original equipment manufacturer, meaning the cartridge was made by the same company that made your printer. Original brand cartridges are very reliable and sometimes the only option if your printer is new to market or uncommon.	Remanufactured ink is a genuine brand cartridge that has gone through one cycle of use. After use, the cartridge is recycled, acquired by a remanufacturing facility and put through a rigorous professional refurbishing process. During the refurbishing process the cartridge is disassembled, thoroughly cleaned and tested for quality. It's then carefully refilled, tested again and brought back to life. Buying remanufactured prevents one less cartridge from ending up in a landfill.	A compatible cartridge is a brand new ink cartridge built by a manufacturer other than your printer. It's like buying the generic version of the genuine brand. Most are uniquely designed to differentiate from genuine cartridges. Despite any structural difference you may notice, the cartridge will still fit in your machine and print a full yield, just like the original brand.
Price Factors	Many printer manufacturers follow the razor-and-blades business model which may result in higher priced genuine cartridges.	Remanufactured ink is much cheaper than the original brand ink. It's far more cost effective to refurbish a previously used cartridge than create a new OEM from scratch.	Compatible ink is much cheaper than the original brand. Compatible suppliers don't have to worry about the additional costs that hinder OEMs like new printers or firmware, which lets them keep prices low.
Quality	Original cartridges work extremely well and are covered under a warranty by the printer manufacturer	High quality remanufactured ink will match the quality of the original, but not all remanufactured ink is created equal. Make sure you buy from a reputable supplier in order to get the absolute best results.	High quality compatible ink will match the quality of the original, but not all compatible ink is created equal. Make sure you buy from a reputable supplier in order to get the absolute best results.

What's the difference between ink and toner cartridges?

	Ink Cartridges	Toner Cartridges
Printer Type	Work with inkjet printers	Work with laser printers
Material	Liquid ink	Dry powder
How it works	Inkjet printers use a series of nozzles that spray tiny drops of ink directly on the print suface	Laser toner printers use static electricity and heat to bond dry toner powder to a page
Commonly used by	Casual home users, small business and photographers	Large businesses and schools

Number of Pages You Can Print	A cartridge's page yield is the estimated number of pages you can print. Page yield is based on 5% page coverage. This means that the quoted page yield is based upon printed pages where only 5% of the page has been imprinted with ink. For example, a short memo has approximately 5% coverage. If you have a cartridge that has a yield of 500 pages, it can print 500 pages of that short memo. If you are printing letters, photos or graphics, your coverage will vary greatly and your page yield will drop significantly.
Cartridge Warranty and Shelf Life	Most ink and toner cartridges include a warranty or "best by" date on their box. Remanufactured and compatible ink cartridges can last 12-18 months unopened, and toner cartridges can last up to 3 years.
Cartridge Care and Storage	Only open a cartridge when you need it. Opened cartridges will eventually dry out, especially if the protective tape or clip has been removed. If you have an open ink cartridge around and would like to try and prevent it from drying out, place it nozzle side up in a plastic airtight tub. If your cartridge came with protective tape or a clip reapply both before storing. Place a damp cloth or paper towel in the tub, next to the cartridge and keep it stored in a cool, dark place.

Good Value Remanufactured Cartridges

I purchased both a Canon copier cartridge and a HP laser printer cartridge fro 4inkjets.com. They arrived together on time and have performed much better than other remanufactured cartridges I have purchased. The prints and copies look like they came from new equipment even though both the printer and copier are almost 20 years old. Not the cheapest but good value.

Most Liked Negative Review

Product lacked quality control

The rebuilt copier cartridge lacked powdered ink and was improperly packaged with no internal support. Suggestion: change to a qualifide supplier for maintaining your reputation and customer satisfaction.

Cannon A30 Toner cartridge.

By Bob

Comments about Canon Compatible A30 Black Toner Cartridge:

I bought this for an old Cannon PC-6 photocopier.
It worked in my old PC-11 and same as PC-10.
This is working just as well as the Cannon OEM product!
Good value at about half the price of the basicly expensive Cannon cartridge.

Last time I bought a new cartridge, it included a new "fixer assembly cleaner. Is that something I should have ordered seperatly? The one in the machine is old and dirty.

Comments about Canon Compatible A30 Black Toner Cartridge:

I was sceptical when I ordered but was very pleasantly surprised when I saw the end printed product. The only remaining question is how many copies will it produce, but so far so good with no complaints.

Comments about Canon Compatible A30 Black Toner Cartridge:

No problem with this cartridge, and it arrived very quickly. I don't know how long it will last (that remains to be seen), but so far it's behaving exactly as a genuine and new Canon cartridge would.

By PPRK

Comments about Canon Compatible A30 Black Toner Cartridge:

This is my second LD replacement cartridge for my copier. The only thing "bad" about the first one is that it quit making good copies while the "warning window" was still yellow. In the past the warning window was completely red when the toner was gone.
The price is good, but keeps going up over the years. I'm just thankful that the cartridges are still available, because my copier is 20 years old!
