OEM Cartridge: A new cartridge, which is produced by the original printer manufacturer (OEM) and sold under the same name.

Remanufactured Cartridges

A cartridge that undergoes a complete rebuild under strict guidelines using technically advanced manufacturing facilities that are designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications. 100% of the internal components are replaced.

Other So Called Remanufactured Cartridges:

A used OEM cartridge that has been recycled (usually through a third party). Parts are cleaned and / or replaced (generally less than 75% of parts) with the toner refilled. The cartridge is therefore ready to be used again. Some products – although remanufactured – do not meet the standards of OEM in terms of quality, reliability, performance and IP compliance.

Newbuild/New Compatible Cartridges/Generics:

A newly manufactured cartridge that is NOT produced by the original printer manufacturer, but by a third party, and sold under a third-party trademark.

 Counterfeit Cartridges:

A newly produced cartridge that is NOT produced by the original printer manufacturer, but by a third party and sold under an OEM brand name.

“Drill and Fill” Cartridges:

Often referred to as a cartridge where the supplier drills a hole in the empty cartridge and refills the toner. This hole is then sealed, the cartridge cleaned and boxed for resale. Quality and reliability is very questionable.
