Printer Ink comes in many different varieties. Laser or Led printers use cartridges filled with toner. Ink is used by inkjet printers. Basically, all inkjet printers can print in both colour and in black and white. Ink for inkjet printers comes in ink cartridges which are available in many different designs, from original to compatible to special refill ink cartridges. How do you choose the right ink cartridge for your printer? Read on for some advice.
Cartridges are containers containing printer ink. The cartridges usually include the liquid ink cartridge itself, the print head, and the print nozzle. You have black, cyan, magenta, and yellow ink cartridges when it comes to colour shades. Together, the shades form the CMYK colour model used by all printers.
The word "cartridge" is not only used for ink cartridges, but also for all other printer cartridges. You may also come across toner cartridges.

Printer Ink: Original vs Compatible Ink Cartridges
When choosing ink cartridges, you will also find compatible options from other manufacturers, in addition to genuine cartridges directly from the printer manufacturer. How do the two options differ and what are the advantages?
Original Printer Ink Cartridge - Compatibility is Guaranteed
Genuine printer cartridges (printer manufacturer's cartridge) offer superior print quality, resistance to drying and 100% compatibility with your inkjet printer. The disadvantage may be a higher purchase price.
Compatible Cartridges Score Points with Lower Prices
Compatible ink cartridges are lower in price than genuine ones and often have wider compatibility. One compatible cartridge can be used for several types of printers. Also:
The quality is not necessarily inferior to the genuine cartridge.
You can also find cartridges for older printer models.
