Consumers Free Choice

It is obvious and everyone knows that, the consumers have the freedom to buy whatever they desire. They can buy compatibles like ink cartridges, toner cartridges, fuser units and drum units or the originals. However, the customers have to be aware, that the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) DO NOT want consumers to be purchasing cheaper ink cartridges for the printer that they have spent thousands to develop. Although, this was not the case at least momentarily with Dell.  According to Choice Stationery Supplies, the computer technology giant had a PDF on their web titled “Dell Printer and Printer Supplies Environmental Policy” which included the following

“Dell printers do not prevent the use of non manufacture printer supplies ink, toner, drums, rollers, fusers etc. The use of non-Dell printer supplies ink, toner, drums, rollers, fusers, including refill and re-manufactured supplies is a customer’s choice.”

However, the PDF on the Dell’s website was short lived and seems to be removed.

OEMs against Compatibles 

The statement from Dell flies in the face of all Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) who are strongly determined to prevent any use of compatible ink or toner cartridges,hence the probable reason why it was taken off.

To an extent, there is threat that compatible products pose to the profits of the OEMs. The quality of compatible cartridges has increased, while the cost price remains much lower, than the original cartridges, making the consumers wonder why should they pay more for similar results.

Recently, OEMs such as Canon, Lexmark, Brother have taken steps to prevent consumers from using compatible cartridges. Canon have patented re manufacturing method, while several OEMs released statements advising the customers against the compatibles. Additionally, most of the OEMs have introduced POP-UPS to hassle consumers if they insert compatible cartridges in their printer. Sometimes, even lying that there is no ink left when the brand new re manufactured cartridge has just been inserted.

Compatibles are good for Environment and Your Wallet
