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.

Remanufactured 87 Photo Black Ink Cartridge for Epson
Q:
The original Epson ink for this R1900 printer is pigment ink and necessary for long life. Is the ink you fill this oem cartridge with pigment ink and can I expect it to give the same print life as the original ink?

- A:
  The remanufactured cartridges are filled to the same capacity as the original Epson cartridges, so you can expect the same or longer print life with our cartridges. Also, the ink used to refill the cartridges is pigment ink, so the quality will be similar to Epson's ink.

There's not much to say. It works exactly as I expected it to. I haven't done much high gloss printing lately so I can't say if it's hue perfect to the OEM stuff, but I'm having no printing issues. If you own an Epson and you're complaining because you think these are clogging your print heads, you may want to learn how to manually clean the gunk off of your print heads. I finally did that and everything is fine now no matter what ink I use. BTW, the OEM cartridges were no better when my heads were gunked up.

I order a compleat set (plus extras) of ink cartrudges for my Epson Stylus Photo printer. Most were OK for the quick runs I was doing.
BUT Both Cyans produced unusable prints. The prints were 4 shades too dark and the cyan over cast every other color. I checked out my printer and order a cyan cartrige from Epson. I am now up and running just fine.
The rest of the '4inkjet' cartriges seem to be working just fine, but given my experience, I would be hard to reorder/recomend the product

color is good, drying requires a little time

Comments about Remanufactured Epson T087220 Cyan Inkjet Cartridge:

I made the mistake of touching a print as soon as it came out of my printer (Epson Stylus Photo R1900) and left a finger print on the image. Need to want for the ink to dry completely.

Not a good value

By TracerMetula

Comments about Remanufactured Epson T087020 Gloss Optimizer Inkjet Cartridge:

I can't speak to the quality of this cartridge because I have yet to use it, but it definitely makes more sense to purchase the Epson Gloss Optimizer, which comes three to a package. If you bought three of these remanufactured Gloss Optimizers, it'd cost you more than if you bought the genuine Epson product.

Worked as advertised, fixed my printer

Comments about Remanufactured 87 Matte Black Ink Cartridge for Epson:

I bought an Epson r1900 at the thrift store for $10.00.

When I hooked it up to my mac, it said The Matt Black ink is empty.

Buying this cartridge for a very reasonable price got me quick turn around and a working printer.

I am glad to be able to buy a "non-epson" cartridge that appears to work perfectly and saves me some money.

Thanks.

Remanufactured replacement for Epson R1900

By Aneudi78

from New York, NY

Comments about Remanufactured Epson T087220 Cyan Inkjet Cartridge:

The remanufactured replacement for Epson T087220 R1900 is just as equal to the actual Epson ink. Why pay more for a product when you could get the equivalent for cheaper? That's why I always use LD Products to buy my supply of ink.
