Inkjet cartridges are cartridges, or sealed units, containing the printer's ink that are inserted into inkjet printers. The printer ink contained in a cartridge will run out in time, and the user can choose to replace the cartridge or just refill it with the needed ink. Many people claim that using an original inkjet cartridge will bring the best printing results.

But original cartridges have become very expensive compared to compatible cartridges that many claim accomplish the same job for less. The same companies who manufactured the printers, like HP, Epson, Canon and Lexmark make the original cartridges. To make the compatible inkjet cartridge versions, other manufacturers disassemble, inspect, clean, reassemble, refill, and then test original cartridges and insert them with high-quality inks to refill the cartridges.

Compatible cartridges are cheaper than the original because their manufacturers usually do not advertise. Most compatible inkjet cartridge manufacturers also do not design their own printers. That's why they can afford to sell the cartridges at more affordable prices. These companies usually need to pass high quality standards or get ISO certificates before marketing their products.

Many people are recognizing the practical side of using compatible cartridges. Others prefer to refill their empty cartridges with original inks distributed by the branded companies. Normally, using compatible cartridges for HP, Epson, Canon and Lexmark printers do not affect how the printers work. The inkjet printer owner can protect his equipment by following the instructions on replacing the empty cartridge. Using compatible cartridges also help in protecting the environment because it reduces waste.
