High quality printing is vital to all businesses, especially for documents that will be distributed externally. Reports, proposals, tenders, letters and press releases can all reflect on your brand. Professional looking documents can help make the right impression especially when pitching for new business.
An increasingly popular choice for creating image rich documents that help sell your ideas, products or services is a colour laser printer. But having the right equipment is just one aspect of producing quality documents. You also need to use good quality paper and crucially a toner cartridge that’s going to deliver print that is crisp and clear with vibrant colours or rich blacks from first to last page.
OEM or Original Equipment Manufacturer toner cartridges, such as HP laser cartridges, are designed to be used with their colour laser printers. Not only do they contain powdered ink or toner in black cyan, magenta and yellow but also smart chips that work with your printer to check ink levels and deliver great print quality.
But do you need to buy an OEM laser cartridge or will a Compatible or Remanufactured cartridge work as well? The debate about which to choose is one of quality versus cost with OEM’s arguing that taking everything into account their cartridges offer better value for money.
OEM refers to toner cartridges that are made by the manufacturer of the printer. For instance you would use HP laser cartridges with your HP laser printer. HP recommend this approach as their cartridges are specifically formulated, manufactured and tested to work with their laser printer by the same team of engineers. In this way HP can deliver outstanding print quality, consistent performance, longer life and trouble free printing.
Compatible cartridges are produced by a different manufacturer to your printer. They are built using 100% new components and compatible cartridges. Choose compatible toners that are backed by a guarantee of satisfaction to get a cost effective alternative to the leading brands without compromising on quality.
Remanufactured refers to OEM cartridges whose plastic bodies are recycled and reused after the toner has run out. A major producer of compatibles is Xerox which manufactures an extensive range of replacement laser cartridges for leading printer manufacturers such as HP, Kyocera, Brother and Lexmark. All their cartridges are designed to perform equal to or better than the comparable brand.
HP laser cartridges are available as single cartridge packs, twin packs and multipacks. Ordering cartridges in multipacks can save you money. Choose from standard capacity or, if you’re printing demands are high, use high yield capacity cartridges to reduce your printing costs.
