1. What are compatible or remanufactured supplies?
Compatible simply means that though the product is not necessarily an original, it will still fulfill the same purpose. For example, most people do not use HP paper in HP printers; they use something similar that works just as well.
In addition, "compatible cartridges" can be separated into two categories. They may contain either "100% new components" or "new and recycled components".
A remanufactured cartridge is a cartridge that has been manufactured from new and recycled components. It has been "rebuilt" to match the exact specifications of the "original". In many cases, OEM cartridges actually contain "recycled" or "recovered" materials (it's usually listed in fine print on the packaging in an inconspicuous place). In addition, some OEMs even sell their own brand of remanufactured cartridges.

2. What are OEM supplies?
OEM means 'Original Equipment Manufacturer'. A OEM is a company that builds a product that it sells under its own company name and brand. An OEM, such as HP or Epson, will manufacture the product and assign a unique part number to that product. At inkpal.com, we provide the OEM part number to assist you in finding a compatible cartridge. The OEM part number is displayed for reference purposes only.

Yes they do. All of our compatible or generic remanufactured cartridges are manufactured according to OEM specifications. They are guaranteed to perform as well as the originals. Some of our Jumbo cartridges even outlast the OEM brand.

4. Will compatible or remanufactured supplies void my equipment warranty?
No they do not! Your manufacturer cannot void your machine's warranty for using cartridges other than theirs. However, it may void your service contract if you have a binding agreement to use their supplies.

MICR = Magnetic Ink Character Recognition. The use of special characters AND magnetic ink allowing "readers" to recognize numbers at high speed. Most bank checks and deposit slips employ the use of MICR. MICR ink is only available for Laser Printer.
