Not so fast. You could save a lot of money \u00a0by choosing what are known as compatible toners and ink. Of course, you&#8217;ll want to weigh the costs and the benefits. We&#8217;re here to help with our guide to OEM and compatible toner and ink.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>OEM Print Cartridges: highest price, highest quality prints<\/h2>\n<p><strong>OEM stands for &#8220;original equipment manufacturer.&#8221; <\/strong>OEM printer cartridges\u00a0are manufactured to fit the specifications of your machine. So if you have a HP printer, the OEM replacement will be an HP printer cartridge. They are comparatively expensive and \u00a0contain the highest quality inks and toners.<\/p>\n<h2>Compatible Toner &amp; Ink Cartridges: lowest price, eco-friendly, quality prints.<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Compatible toner and ink cartridges<\/strong>\u00a0are carefully recycled &amp; refilled OEM\u00a0printer cartridges. They cost much less to produce, so they are cheaper than OEM cartridges. Plus, most used toner &amp; ink cartridges end up in landfills. Recycled toner &amp; ink rescues empty cartridges from the landfill for another round of use.<\/p>\n<p>Now, don&#8217;t let the words &#8220;cheaper&#8221; and &#8220;recycled&#8221; scare you, though. Compatible toner and ink cartridges are carefully engineered, \u00a0and the resulting print quality is just fine for most business applications.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re thinking of giving compatible toners and inks a try, On Time Supplies go-to printer guy Steve recommends:<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 615px;\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"5\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ontimesupplies.com\/inks-and-toners.html?page=1&amp;atbs%5BBrand%5D=Dataproducts%25C2%25AE&amp;atbs%5BRemanufactured%5D=Yes\" data-mce-=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ontimesupplies.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/115357.jpg\" alt=\"Dataproducts Compatible Toner &amp; Inks\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" data-mce-=\"\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ontimesupplies.com\/inks-and-toners.html?page=1&amp;atbs[OEM%2FCompatible]=Compatible&amp;atbs[Brand]=Innovera%C2%AE\" data-mce-=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ontimesupplies.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/54913.jpg\" alt=\"Innovera Compatible Toner &amp; Ink\" data-mce-=\"\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ontimesupplies.com\/inks-and-toners.html?page=1&amp;atbs%5BOEM%252FCompatible%5D=Compatible&amp;atbs%5BBrand%5D=SKILCRAFT%25C2%25AE\" data-mce-=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ontimesupplies.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/169575.jpg\" alt=\"Skilcraft Compatible Toner &amp; Ink\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" data-mce-=\"\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ontimesupplies.com\/inks-and-toners.html?page=1&amp;atbs%5BOEM%252FCompatible%5D=Compatible&amp;atbs%5BBrand%5D=Xerox%25C2%25AE\" data-mce-=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ontimesupplies.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/104506.jpg\" alt=\"Xerox Comptatible Toner &amp; Ink \" data-mce-=\"\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ontimesupplies.com\/inks-and-toners.html?page=1&amp;atbs%5BBrand%5D=Dataproducts%25C2%25AE&amp;atbs%5BRemanufactured%5D=Yes\" data-mce-=\"\"><strong>Dataproducts Cartridges<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ontimesupplies.com\/inks-and-toners.html?page=1&amp;atbs[OEM%2FCompatible]=Compatible&amp;atbs[Brand]=Innovera%C2%AE\" data-mce-=\"\">Innovera Cartridges<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ontimesupplies.com\/inks-and-toners.html?page=1&amp;atbs%5BOEM%252FCompatible%5D=Compatible&amp;atbs%5BBrand%5D=SKILCRAFT%25C2%25AE\" data-mce-=\"\">Skilcraft Cartridges<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ontimesupplies.com\/inks-and-toners.html?page=1&amp;atbs%5BOEM%252FCompatible%5D=Compatible&amp;atbs%5BBrand%5D=Xerox%25C2%25AE\" data-mce-=\"\">Xerox Cartridges<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>You can find more information on print cartridges in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ontimesupplies.com\/solutions\/inkjet-laser-toner-printer-cartridge-buying-guide\" data-mce-=\"\">Inkjet &amp; Toner Printer Cartridge Buying Guide<\/a>\u00a0at OnTimeSupplies.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it&#8217;s time to reorder ink and toner cartridges, do you reflexively order name brand &#8212; Brother cartridges for your Brother Printer, HP in for HP machines?
