Cartridge buying guide
Compatible or original printer cartridges: which should you choose?
The right choice depends on the printer, the work it produces and the balance you want between price, output and manufacturer requirements.

Why choose compatible cartridges?
A well-matched compatible cartridge can reduce the cost of routine documents. Confirm the exact printer model and buy from a supplier that clearly explains its guarantee.
When original supplies may suit
Original manufacturer cartridges may be preferred for specialist colour work, manufacturer-led support requirements or a purchasing policy that specifies OEM supplies.
Compare more than the purchase price
Consider expected yield, page coverage, the type of documents being printed and the support available if the cartridge is not suitable.
