Compatibles versus Originals. A highly debated subject within the printing world at the moment is whether compatibles are as good as originals. Additionally, are they worth the perceived gamble?

With the vast majority of ink and toner cartridge sales being original it’s easy to see why customers choose originals. More often than not the customer has purchased a compatible cartridge which was faulty and has since then decided to purchase original cartridges only. The tragedy of this situation is that the customer is denied the benefits which come from purchasing a compatible cartridge. More often than not customers are lured by the very low cost of compatible cartridges only to find they either don’t work or print substandard quality. This is because there are unfortunately a lot of companies within the cartridge remanufacturing industry who ruin the reputation of it by putting out sub-standard compatible cartridges.

There are a few companies like ourselves however who care about the quality of their compatible cartridges and take the remanufacture of their compatible cartridges seriously. Purchasing compatible cartridges is not only good for your wallet, it is good for the environment as well.

Inkntoneruk use the latest remanufacturing technology and techniques to achieve exceptionally high quality compatible cartridges. We individually test our compatible cartridges for print quality so you don’t have to and also to keep the quality of our compatible cartridges exceptionally high.

Compatible cartridges do represent excellent value for money and are ideal for the vast majority of people who need everyday print quality. Cartridges from Inkntoneruk will produce a very similar quality to originals at a fraction of the cost. Compatible cartridges are perfect for home and office type printing. The only people who need original cartridges are professional printers whose printing see potential clients and customers.

The other positive side to compatible cartridges is the environmental edge they bring. Did you know that several ounces of oil are used in the manufacture of an ink cartridge? Furthermore, did you know that nearly four litres of oil used in the manufacture of a toner cartridge? Not to mention that the plastics used in cartridges take from 450 to 1000 years to biodegrade in landfill. Many plastics aren’t biodegradable and can theoretically last forever. And when a cartridge does manage to degrade it will contaminate the ground and water. So you see choosing compatible cartridges is not the financially viable option but also the environmentally one as well.

So, who won – Compatibles versus Originals? You decide.
