The versatility and accessibility of printers means that more and more people are enjoying the benefits of easy, effective and efficient printing. Whether you are printing for business purposes, happy snaps, craft, school work and so on it is important that you get a reliable and quality print outcome. There are two choices when it comes to selecting the type of printer cartridge – genuine or compatible.
Genuine, brand name, cartridges are what are provided by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and usually placed at a premium price. Whilst, compatible cartridges are usually much cheaper but are generic or a ‘no name’ brand. Both types of cartridges are useful and have their benefits. The lower price of compatible cartridges makes printing more accessible to many users. Compatible cartridges are of high quality and are designed to work as well as original brand manufacturer cartridges.
Unfortunately there are compatibles produced in some countries where the quality may not be up to standard. To safeguard ourselves against selling these types of products to our customers, we at Ink Depot only supply compatibles from the largest importers of compatibles in Australia. The brands we supply, (mainly Printrite and Q-Image), are probably the dominant compatible brands in Australia.
Having said that, even quality compatibles are not fault free. Very occasionally, a compatible will not work with a specific printer because of a micro chip incompatibility. Even more rarely, a quality compatible cartridge can give less than satisfactory printing results. To ensure our customers are protected in these instances, we offer a full warranty against defective cartridges, where you can elect to have your money refunded, or we replace your cartridge free of charge.
Genuine cartridges are also popular with many customers. These cartridges have all of the benefits of normal branded products but do often cost a lot more. However, we are Ink Depot realise that some people do prefer the peace of mind in using a known brand. We sell all of the major ink cartridge brands including HP, Epson, Canon, Brother etc. To help create value to our customers we strive to offer ‘Higher Standards at Lower Prices’. Being an on-line store our everyday prices are very competitive however from time to time we have some great price specials. Check out our current great specials for yourself.
