chip ink cartridges
If you have spent tremendously amount of money buying ink cartridges for the your printers, then you must have aware the fact that most of the modern printer cartridges do have little circuit board which attached on your printer, we also refer that as chip cartridges, in today’s blog topic we are going to talk a bit about Chip and No Chip ink cartridges.
Why most of the modern printer cartridges have chips on it?
There are mainly two types of cartridges exited in the market, one of them is called Ink Tanks and another one is called ink cartridges which you found the second one quite familiar because it is more common, usually the ink tank is just the small container which used to hold the ink storage, so normally it does not have any circuit board on it, so in order to let it print, the only thing that we need to do is just to plug in the printer so the ink will flow through to the print-head, on the other hand, the ink cartridges type of cartridges usually have it own head head built in, so it usually have chips or circuit on it and I explain why are the reasons at the following, it can be very complicated …
First of all, the existence of the chip ink cartridges are serving as the main purpose to stop and interfere the market of refilled, remanufacture or compatible ink cartridges where these cartridges are not main produced by the original equipment manufacturer, so in order to stop them, they will make a specific chip for the model number and update software randomly so if the customer accidentally buy the one which is not compatible, the chip will send error code to the printer so it cannot be recognized and thus can’t be able to print, most of the OEM brand recommend people do not use the compatible ink cartridges because it says it might damage the machine, such thing are not true, basically what these companies trying to imply is just to purchase their own high price cartridges and buy it more and more every time when you see your ink level is low even most of the case is not true, anyways I will write another blog regard to these topics and please let me know how you think !

The Differences between OEM to Compatible Cartridges
OEM cartridges:
This type of ink or toner cartridges are made by the original manufacture company, so let’s say if you are using the Brother printer, your ink or toner cartridges will be made by same company, sometimes we refer it to genuine cartridges, usually the price is much more expensive, however the performance is more stable, good for professional printing usage.
Remanufacture Ink/Toner Cartridges
A Remanufaccture toner or ink cartridges is usually a recycle version from the OEM by using the original cartridges case, or the damaged cartridges fixed by the OEM company and disassemble it and refill with the cartridges, sometimes, the original manufacture company just replace the worn or bad-designed part and called it compatible cartridgeds, sometimes the orginal manufacture often drill a hole from the cartridges in order to defficiate the genuine to the remanufacture one so make sure you find the reputable dealer in order to make sure the quality and performance will be okay.
Compatible Toner cartridges:
A compatible toner cartridges, as the same as it named, is often product by a third party manufacture with new design to make it perfectly compatible, it share the similar quality to the OEM ink or toner cartridges, since the price is much cheaper, these type of cartridges is often popular in the market, thus, the genuine usually do recommend their customer only to purchase their own ink/toner cartridges in order to avoid troubles.
The battle between both the OEM ink toner cartridges to the compatible cartridges are still a hot topic in which both stands on its Pro and Con, to my opinion there is nothing better, nothing superior and nothing perfect, there are always exception, people often say it OEM cartridges are much better and less trouble, but in my opinion I have heard and received many cases which due by the OEM cartridges, cartridges is a fragile thing and it can be damaged by many different reason if not handling well, weather, humidity, method of shipping…etc, personally I would go for compatible cartridges, because I don’t like the concept of big brand and I found myself perfectly suitable by spending a $6 bucks ink cartridges rather than the $26.99 one, hopefully this article will be helpful to you, and let me know what you think in our comment.
