1. What is a compatible ink cartridge?
A compatible printer ink cartridge is a new ink cartridge manufactured by a third party printer company. The compatible ink cartridge is guaranteed to be as good as your original ink cartridge. The compatible printer cartridge is manufactured to the exact specifications of your inkjet printer.

2. Will a compatible ink cartridge void my manufacturer's warranty?
Absolutely not! It is against the law for a company to prevent you from using a compatible printer ink cartridge in your inkjet printer. In the United States, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975 protects your printer warranty.

3. How much can a compatible ink cartridge really save me?
The most expensive part of owning an inkjet printer is purchasing printer ink replacement cartridges. You will pay ten to thirty times more for your ink cartridges than you paid for your inkjet printer, depending upon the make and model. Over the five year life expectancy, compatible printer cartridges will cut your cost from 50 to 75%.

4. Are all compatible ink cartridges the same?
Compatible ink cartridges are not all the same. Reputable compatible printer ink companies test their compatible ink cartridges very carefully to insure you will get the same quality and number of pages as your original printer cartridge. The company's money back guarantee and shelf life guarantee are usually good indicators of the quality of the compatible ink cartridge.

5. Can a compatible printer ink cartridge damage my inkjet printer?
A printer ink cartridge can do very little damage to an inkjet printer. It is possible, but highly unlikely, for an ink cartridge to leak and cause streaking on your paper. However, a simple cleaning and replacement of the ink cartridge (in hot water) should resolve the problem.

Note: If streaking ever occurs when you first use your compatible printer ink cartridge, contact support.

6. What is the shelf life of a compatible printer ink cartridge?
A reputable compatible ink cartridge company will guarantee their printer cartridges for at least one year. Don't purchase ink cartridges from companies that offer less than a one year warranty.

7. Will a compatible printer ink cartridge print the same number of pages?
Definitely!
Reputable printer ink cartridge companies use equipment that is designed to fill their compatible cartridges to at least the OEM specification of the inkjet printer. The industry standard is 5% page coverage. You can adjust density and resolution to maximize your printer performance. In some cases, these third party companies fill the ink cartridge to capacity and you end up getting more pages of print.

8. Why should I use compatible ink cartridges rather than OEM ink cartridges?
You will get the same quality and quantity of pages from a good compatible ink cartridge at a savings of 50 to 70 percent of the cost of an OEM printer ink cartridge.

9. How are compatible printer ink cartridges different from just a few years ago?
The technology used to produce compatible printer ink cartridges is now as good as the technology used to create OEM ink cartridges. The days of drill and fill are over. Reputable printer ink companies use many of the same components as outlined in OEM specifications.

10. What does OEM stand for?
OEM is an abbreviation for 'Original Equipment Manufacturer'. In short, it means the printer ink cartridge was manufactured by the same company as the printer.

11. What do OEM manufacturer's say about compatible ink cartridges?
Most major inkjet printer companies spend a lot of money trying to convince you to purchase only their ink cartridges. They are quick to criticize the use of compatible ink cartridges from third party vendors. I think it is ironic that many of these major printer companies are now selling their own recycled cartridges... AND you're still paying full retail price for them! Check the fine print on the package. It will state the cartridge is made from new and recycled parts!
