There
is a lot of talk about re-inking or remanufactured print cartridges
being a cost savings way to go instead of using OEM Cartridges.
Below are listed some of the reasons why re-inking or remanufactured
cartridges are not as good a deal as you think:
The re-inking
of inkjet and toner cartridges is not advisable. By injecting
a used cartridge with ink, important factors within the cartridge
technology are ignored. Problems such as the deterioration of
print quality and leakage arise when parts of the cartridge
begin to war out or become excessively dirty. The main reason
for this is that the cartridges are not designed to perform
properly beyond a limited number of cycles.
On inkjet's
more specifically, the membrane inside the cartridge's vacuum-sealed
compartment shrinks during the printing process. When ink is
injected, this compartment's seal is broken. Should the injected
ink exceed the amount of ink the membrane can hold, the membrane
may break and cause extensive leakage which in turn can short
the printer's circuit board and cause damage to the printer's
heads.
Furthermore,
the print cartridge nozzles are made up of it's own circuit
board. When re-inking, the nozzles are not properly cleaned
or tested. This adds to potential cartridge malfunction.
Using OEM
print cartridges will help to prolong the life of your printer.
