What are compatible ink cartridges?

Like the name suggests, these cartridges are compatible with your printer. They are filled with compatible inks and are not made by the big brand or OEM name and so are not endorsed by the printer manufacturers.

There has been much speculation in the media that the printer manufacturers want to use patent laws to stop third parties from making or even re-manufacturing (recycling) cartridges for their printers and to keep all of the market share for themselves.

Compatible inkjets are a great way to save money and get quality prints too. A printout from a printer using a set of our cartridges looks very similar to a printout from a printer with the original or OEM printer inks. Some recent press articles have compared the price of OEM printer ink rather unfavourably with the price of rocket fuel or fine perfume.

Compatible cartridges are often at least 30% cheaper than the original brand cartridge and in some cases they can be half the price. Look out for our "buy one get one free" deals on selected inks.
