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.

Beat up box but worked perfectly this time

First time order 18 months ago had a bad sensor so the printer didn't recognise it , 123Inkjets replaced it quickly and the new one worked. This recently ordered replacement was just inserted when the sensors on the 18 mo old cartridge said 2% or less remained (50 pages). That insertion was done by my office assistants while I was away at a convention. If they can do it, you can do it. It works fine.

Ordered three toners. They arrived quickly and the price was comparable to other places. The problem i had is one of three toners had a nick on the drum. This results in a large black blob every 2 inches on every page printed. I had to simply throw out one toner. The second toner seems to be working great and i believe it was an oversight on 123inkjet's side but one broken toner just increased my price on the other two toners by 50% making them significatly overpriced. I hope 123inkjet will make this right by either sending a new toner at their expense or reimbursing me the cost of one of the toners.

Comments about Compatible Brand CF280A (HP 80A) Black Toner for Hewlett Packard:

We love our HP black/white laser printer but quickly learned how expensive replacement HP ink cartridges are. We'd had good luck with replacement cartridges for our Samsung ink jet so we took a chance. The prints are very good, sharp and clear and at 1/5 the cost of the HP, a real bargain. Shipping was free and fast.

Comments about Compatible Brand CF280X (HP 80X) HY Black Toner for Hewlett Packard:

I have been using 123inkjets for our business for several years. Their products, customer service, and price, are unmatched. Of the 20 or so cartridges that I have ordered over the years, I only received one that was defective. It was replaced immediately with overnight free shipping. The toners for our printers last even longer than the brand.

I primarily use toner for printing up real estate refinance loan documents which range from 67 pages to 217 pages.

My loan documents are always dark and crisp, which is perfect for my day to day needs.

Keep up the good work.
