OEM Brand Name Cartridges Vs. Remanufactured/Generic

It is very important to know the diffrence between OEM toner and Generic/Reman toners, first Generic, Remanufactured, Re-ink, Substitutes compatibles, Non OEM they are all the same no diffrence. There are only OEM and the others, Now OEM is make by the Manufacturer like HP, Lexmark, Xerox etc the others are make by individuals or major recharger company.
It's always cheaper to purchase remanufacture toner cartridges the question is who to purchase from, Why this is important becasue if the maker use the same empty toner and re-use it over and over to cut cost after the second time it will start to give problems eg. leaking, light prints streaks on the pages, spots, black half of page and many more problems.
Resolution: Always purchase from a maker who you can call if something goes wrong also find out how the toner being made if there is a problem will there be a refund and what is the warranty period. If you are buying from a manufacturer that give only 30 days warranty don't purchase from them becasue you will never know within 30 days if the toner will give problems.
OEM now if you do decide to stick with OEM toners always spend your money where you can get back something like reward points or cash back or rebate etc. Who ever you decides to purchase from and if you own an HP printer and purchase OEM toner for that printers HP has a Rebate program call the purchasedge where you received FREE HP products direct from HP Just for buying OEM toner - But your vendor have to submit the invoice to HP on behalf of you.
