Compatible VS Genuine Toner Cartridges

If you’re unsure about whether to invest in compatible or genuine toner cartridges, read our blog before making your decision. As Australia’s printer consumables specialists, we stock all the available cartridges on the market, however, there are pros and cons to each choice. 

 

What is the difference between genuine and compatible toner cartridges?

 

Genuine original equipment manufacturer cartridges are produced by the brand from which you bought your printer. Compatible cartridges, on the other hand, are generic alternatives that have been designed to fit your printer. 

 

Why should you buy genuine toner cartridges? 

 

At Toner City, we are always big advocates of sticking to genuine products. This is because they have been specially created to suit your device, and will prolong the life of your printer. Opting for compatible cartridges is usually more cost effective, but it does carry the risk of damaging your printer or voiding your warranty. Compatible cartridge alternatives are usually made with cheaper materials, basic designs, and may affect your print quality. 

 

Overall, the choice is entirely up to you. If you can afford it, genuine toner cartridges will be the best choice. However, if you want to go use compatible cartridges, try to get them from a reputable supplier like Toner City to ensure they are well made and won’t damage your printer.
