Are compatible cartridges right for you?

With genuine cartridges costing in some cases almost the same price as the printer, many people are in for a nasty shock the first time they come to buying their first set of replacement cartridges. So compatibles seem a far more appealing option but there are a few things to consider.

It’s all about expectations

Knowing what you want from a cartridge (or your printer) is the key to a happy relationship when it comes to using compatibles. Realistically there are going to be some minor differences between the print

quality of the genuine OEM cartridge vs. a basic non branded compatible. 

If your main requirement from a cartridge are that text can be easily read and you print the occasional photo or picture and want it to be a good example of the original image then the economy compatibles are easily up to the job.

On the other hand if you print a lot of photos and are looking for a reasonable quality, then you might want to consider a branded compatible or remanufactured cartridge. A remanufactured cartridge is an OEM cartridge that has been used, professionally cleaned and then refilled using high quality ink and they are considered a ‘greener’ option, so a kinder on both pocket and the environment.

Here at Selectafont, we offer a range of compatibles and remanufactured cartridges for most printer models, from our lowest priced unbranded or economy to a high quality branded or remanufactured cartridge. Furthermore we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee with every compatible cartridge purchased because we source the highest quality cartridges we can even within our economy range, not just the cheapest we can find. So you don’t have to sacrifice quality with our compatible cartridges, it’s just about knowing what you want.
