Going for Generics: Weighing Your Options

Every office will have at least one printer ready for use. The printer may be from one of the most reputable manufacturers around. So you have a good run with your printer, but then its pre-packed stock of ink cartridges run out. Normally, you are left with only one choice—to acquire fresh ink supplies from the shop that sold you the printer. However, over the course of your search, you come across generic-branded ink cartridges that are of the same configuration as the original ones. The question lingers – do you buy them instead? Some factors may lead you to a certain decision.

First up, the cost of generic ink cartridges are at least half that of a branded model. The value is also compensated by the larger amount of ink per cartridge. If your printer is adjusted to draft mode, you can print more documents and lessen pressure on the machine.

However, beware of the potential pitfalls of getting generic cartridges. Some experts claim that images made on printers using some generic ink cartridges faded immediately when exposed to ultraviolet light. Thus, they can be used only for printing disposable materials. In addition, the biggest concern in generic cartridges is when the printer does not recognize the cartridge.
