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.

For many years I bought only Epson inks due to a bad experience with a purchase of refurbished containers. However the prices kept increasing and I use a lot of ink. Someone told me about your product and rather reluctantly I made a purchase of all nine inks. My prints have come out as good as with the brand inks and I will continue ordering my inks from you.

I thought these were worth a try, but my printer has 8 separate ink cartridges and will not print if any of them (one or all) are not recognized by the printer. When I installed the cartridges only the cyan was not recognized - I followed troubleshooting steps and then 4 of them were suddenly not recognized. Even if I had received replacements I would be 99% sure that one or more would fail wasting a ton of time. If you actually need to use your printer for printing (not just trouble shoot it) these are a total waste of time and energy. If they came standard with a chip reseting tool I could see giving them a second try, but that's just asking for more to do that doesn't envolve printing consistently

Comments about Remanufactured T096 9 Piece Set of Ink for Epson:

I ordered the nine pack ink for my Epson printer. The package arrived earlier than I expected, actually while I was on vacation. When I inserted the cartridges, two of the did not work properly, despite all the troubleshooting.

I called the number included in the packaging, and spoke with a very helpful representative who assured me that they would replace the two cartridges immediately. I got the replacements two days later! No hassle at all.

Problem with cartridge - Magenta T096220 doesn't work.

By Loren

from Diamond Bar, Calif

Comments about Remanufactured T096 9 Piece Set of Ink for Epson:

I've bought these cartridges in the past and they've always worked fine. This time one of the cartridges, the Vivid Magenta (VM) doesn't work. Trying a new cartridge is a cheaper option than having the printer checked. The problem started immediately when I put in the new cartridge. The print that was done before the cartridge switch printed perfectly. I live about 30 minutes from your office and can drive there and get a new cartridge. I have no problem in paying for it if it does not qualify for an exchange.

Comments about Remanufactured 96 Cyan Ink Cartridge for Epson:

I could not believe that my order placed in the afternoon was received next day by noon. And at no charge for postage. I will definitely continue to use these inks...although I ordered enough to last for a while. The cartridges were accepted by my printer with no problem.

By Fico

Comments about Remanufactured 96 Photo Black Ink for Epson:

When switching from matte to photo black it indicates a low ink light and I just received the ink, used once. When I was able to print I was content with the quality, but now it has costed twice as much. I would not buy re-manufactured ink cartridges again...
