Whats the difference between compatible cartridges and emanufactured cartridges and OEM cartridges?
Compatible cartridges are new cartridges manufactured to match the cartridge which came in your printer. Remanufactured cartridges are cartridges which have been used once (we only remanufacture virgin cartridges), rebuilt and refilled. Generally speaking cartridges which have a printhead on the cartridge (generally HP and Lexmark) are remanufactured because the printhead has circuitry on it which is patent protected and can’t be duplicated. OEM cartridges = Original Equipment Manufacturer. These are brand name cartridges made by the printer company.
