What is the difference:
Compatible Original - OEM - Remanufactured?
Q. What is an OEM?
A. An OEM (Original
Equipment Manufacturer) is a company that builds a product which it sells under
its own company name and brand. An OEM such as Epson or HP will
manufacture the product and assign a unique part number to that product.
At Cartridge Direct we provide the OEM part number to assist you in finding a
compatible cartridge.
Q. What
is a compatible cartridge? A. Compatible simply means that though
the product is not necessarily an original, it will still fulfill the same
purpose. For example most people do not use HP paper in HP printers; they
use something similar that works just as well.
In addition "compatible cartridges" may be separated into two
categories. They may contain either "100% new components" or new
and recycled components.
Q. What is a remanufactured
cartridge? A. A remanufactured
cartridge is a cartridge that has been manufactured from new and recycled
components. It has been rebuilt to match the exact specifications of the
original. In many cases, OEM cartridges actually contain recycled or
recovered materials. (Its usually listed in the fine print somewhere in an
inconspicuous place). In addition some OEMs even sell their own brand of
remanufactured cartridges.
