If you've been using an laser or inkjet printer for any length of time, you'll knowthat the cost of replacing the printer cartridge is a major expense.

The next are compatible ink cartridges, also known as generic ink cartridges. Thesediscount ink cartridges are built to OEM specifications but by companies other thanthe printer company. Some OEMs patent their cartridge design, so the generic item isunavailable.
