Cartridge Type

	Genuine or OEM (Original) Cartridges	Remanufactured Cartridges	Compatible Cartridges
Description	OEM stands for original equipment manufacturer, meaning the cartridge was made by the same company that made your printer. Original brand cartridges are very reliable and sometimes the only option if your printer is new to market or uncommon.	Remanufactured ink is a genuine brand cartridge that has gone through one cycle of use. After use, the cartridge is recycled, acquired by a remanufacturing facility and put through a rigorous professional refurbishing process. During the refurbishing process the cartridge is disassembled, thoroughly cleaned and tested for quality. It's then carefully refilled, tested again and brought back to life. Buying remanufactured prevents one less cartridge from ending up in a landfill.	A compatible cartridge is a brand new ink cartridge built by a manufacturer other than your printer. It's like buying the generic version of the genuine brand. Most are uniquely designed to differentiate from genuine cartridges. Despite any structural difference you may notice, the cartridge will still fit in your machine and print a full yield, just like the original brand.
Price Factors	Many printer manufacturers follow the razor-and-blades business model which may result in higher priced genuine cartridges.	Remanufactured ink is much cheaper than the original brand ink. It's far more cost effective to refurbish a previously used cartridge than create a new OEM from scratch.	Compatible ink is much cheaper than the original brand. Compatible suppliers don't have to worry about the additional costs that hinder OEMs like new printers or firmware, which lets them keep prices low.
Quality	Original cartridges work extremely well and are covered under a warranty by the printer manufacturer	High quality remanufactured ink will match the quality of the original, but not all remanufactured ink is created equal. Make sure you buy from a reputable supplier in order to get the absolute best results.	High quality compatible ink will match the quality of the original, but not all compatible ink is created equal. Make sure you buy from a reputable supplier in order to get the absolute best results.

What's the difference between ink and toner cartridges?

	Ink Cartridges	Toner Cartridges
Printer Type	Work with inkjet printers	Work with laser printers
Material	Liquid ink	Dry powder
How it works	Inkjet printers use a series of nozzles that spray tiny drops of ink directly on the print suface	Laser toner printers use static electricity and heat to bond dry toner powder to a page
Commonly used by	Casual home users, small business and photographers	Large businesses and schools

Number of Pages You Can Print	A cartridge's page yield is the estimated number of pages you can print. Page yield is based on 5% page coverage. This means that the quoted page yield is based upon printed pages where only 5% of the page has been imprinted with ink. For example, a short memo has approximately 5% coverage. If you have a cartridge that has a yield of 500 pages, it can print 500 pages of that short memo. If you are printing letters, photos or graphics, your coverage will vary greatly and your page yield will drop significantly.
Cartridge Warranty and Shelf Life	Most ink and toner cartridges include a warranty or "best by" date on their box. Remanufactured and compatible ink cartridges can last 12-18 months unopened, and toner cartridges can last up to 3 years.
Cartridge Care and Storage	Only open a cartridge when you need it. Opened cartridges will eventually dry out, especially if the protective tape or clip has been removed. If you have an open ink cartridge around and would like to try and prevent it from drying out, place it nozzle side up in a plastic airtight tub. If your cartridge came with protective tape or a clip reapply both before storing. Place a damp cloth or paper towel in the tub, next to the cartridge and keep it stored in a cool, dark place.

Excellent Vendor, Always Great Quality

I have purchased all refurbished laser ink cartridges from this vendor and have never been disappointed. This is one of the few products I will buy refurbished and 123inkjets.com always delivers quickly, accurately, and great quality.

What put its over the top is that as a "Delta SkyMiles Shopping" partner, I am always offered anywhere from 5 - 11 miles/ dollar spent. They also submit the milage to Delta quickly and it appears on my Delta activity in less than a week (some vendors take months).

I recommed this vendor for all ink needs and to all refurbished wary folks, don't worry here, as you will not be disappointed!

Most Liked Negative Review

had to return it!

This was only the second purchase for this toner. There was still over 50% toner in cartridge when it started losing color. The black kept getting lighter and lighter like it was empty. I removed it several times, cleaned it, shook it, nothing helped. Finally I gave up and returned it. They did offer a refund at least.

This is the first time I am using this set of products in my printer. I am currently satisfied with my printing out put and performance. The price was very affordable and so far so good.

2. I will like to know where and how to return the empty cartridges of either my former inkjet or these when they finish.

SO GLAD I TOOK THE CHANCE

By Lee

from Minneapolis, MN

Comments about Remanufactured Replacement Toner Cartridges for HP 125A, (Bk, C, M, Y):

I am so glad I took the chance. I purchased a different replacement for my CP1518ni and it was a nightmare the heads wouldn't align so the prints were always out of register. There was toner everywhere. It was a disaster. Then I put in the new remanufactured cartridges from 123inkjets and the registration was immediately spot on. I gave 4 stars because I don't know yet what the long run will be but it's a darn good start.

I have used other "non" HP toners and they tend to bleed near the end of the toner. So far not with these.

Good product and price

By OfficeM

Comments about Remanufactured CB542A (HP 125A) Yellow Toner for Hewlett Packard:

I've been buying the remanufactured cartridges for approx. 5 years. I would recommend then highly. The price is so much better and the customer service has always been good with this company if you do have a problem. I had minor issues with 2 cartridges over this entire time that leaked after a while, not right away. The company replaced one and the other I have for longer than a year so I did not ask for a replacement.
