Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) toner cartridges are produced by the same company that made your printer. They guarantee maximum compatibility and high print quality, but this comes at a higher cost. OEMs are an excellent choice if you require top-tier performance and are willing to pay a premium.

 

Compatible toner cartridges are manufactured by third-party companies to be compatible with specific printer models. These cartridges are brand new and can offer similar quality to OEMs at a fraction of the cost. However, the quality may vary across different manufacturers, so it’s vital to choose a trusted seller.

 

Lastly, remanufactured toner cartridges are used OEM cartridges collected, cleaned, refilled, and tested for quality. They are an eco-friendly, affordable choice. But, like compatible cartridges, their performance can greatly depend on the quality of the producer.
