HP Ink Cartridges

9-Jun-2009

Selecting between genuine ink cartridges and compatible ink cartridges for your printer can be utterly confusing for customers unsure as to the definitions of the two terms. Britink, like so many other online ink cartridge specialists, offer both ink cartridge options for the majority of the vast array of printer models that they stock.

At the brilliant Britink.co.uk website, they outline the key differences between the two thoroughly, allowing customers to make the best decision for their own individual needs. Genuine or original OEM ink cartridges are produced by the printer manufacturer that they are designed to operate in. These ink cartridges will operate at an optimum level of performance and produce an unrivalled print quality that only the printer manufacturers themselves can achieve.

Compatible or remanufactured ink cartridges are produced by a third party, which in Britink’s case is Jet Tec. These ink cartridges are often produced from used original ink cartridges that have been refilled with ink. One of the major benefits of these ink cartridges is that they are filled to capacity, providing you with more prints per cartridge.

The glaring difference however is in price, as compatible ink cartridges will cost you far less. For example, a Jet Tec HP No. 26 Black Ink Cartridge would cost £5.99, whereas the original HP ink cartridges would cost £25.39.
