Cartridge Type

	Genuine or OEM (Original) Cartridges	Remanufactured Cartridges	Compatible Cartridges
Description	OEM stands for original equipment manufacturer, meaning the cartridge was made by the same company that made your printer. Original brand cartridges are very reliable and sometimes the only option if your printer is new to market or uncommon.	Remanufactured ink is a genuine brand cartridge that has gone through one cycle of use. After use, the cartridge is recycled, acquired by a remanufacturing facility and put through a rigorous professional refurbishing process. During the refurbishing process the cartridge is disassembled, thoroughly cleaned and tested for quality. It's then carefully refilled, tested again and brought back to life. Buying remanufactured prevents one less cartridge from ending up in a landfill.	A compatible cartridge is a brand new ink cartridge built by a manufacturer other than your printer. It's like buying the generic version of the genuine brand. Most are uniquely designed to differentiate from genuine cartridges. Despite any structural difference you may notice, the cartridge will still fit in your machine and print a full yield, just like the original brand.
Price Factors	Many printer manufacturers follow the razor-and-blades business model which may result in higher priced genuine cartridges.	Remanufactured ink is much cheaper than the original brand ink. It's far more cost effective to refurbish a previously used cartridge than create a new OEM from scratch.	Compatible ink is much cheaper than the original brand. Compatible suppliers don't have to worry about the additional costs that hinder OEMs like new printers or firmware, which lets them keep prices low.
Quality	Original cartridges work extremely well and are covered under a warranty by the printer manufacturer	High quality remanufactured ink will match the quality of the original, but not all remanufactured ink is created equal. Make sure you buy from a reputable supplier in order to get the absolute best results.	High quality compatible ink will match the quality of the original, but not all compatible ink is created equal. Make sure you buy from a reputable supplier in order to get the absolute best results.

What's the difference between ink and toner cartridges?

	Ink Cartridges	Toner Cartridges
Printer Type	Work with inkjet printers	Work with laser printers
Material	Liquid ink	Dry powder
How it works	Inkjet printers use a series of nozzles that spray tiny drops of ink directly on the print suface	Laser toner printers use static electricity and heat to bond dry toner powder to a page
Commonly used by	Casual home users, small business and photographers	Large businesses and schools

Number of Pages You Can Print	A cartridge's page yield is the estimated number of pages you can print. Page yield is based on 5% page coverage. This means that the quoted page yield is based upon printed pages where only 5% of the page has been imprinted with ink. For example, a short memo has approximately 5% coverage. If you have a cartridge that has a yield of 500 pages, it can print 500 pages of that short memo. If you are printing letters, photos or graphics, your coverage will vary greatly and your page yield will drop significantly.
Cartridge Warranty and Shelf Life	Most ink and toner cartridges include a warranty or "best by" date on their box. Remanufactured and compatible ink cartridges can last 12-18 months unopened, and toner cartridges can last up to 3 years.
Cartridge Care and Storage	Only open a cartridge when you need it. Opened cartridges will eventually dry out, especially if the protective tape or clip has been removed. If you have an open ink cartridge around and would like to try and prevent it from drying out, place it nozzle side up in a plastic airtight tub. If your cartridge came with protective tape or a clip reapply both before storing. Place a damp cloth or paper towel in the tub, next to the cartridge and keep it stored in a cool, dark place.

I am a repeat customer for this product and initially tried it due to what I felt - and still feel - is the ridiculous cost of the "regular" cartridge at area stores. The solid quality and ease in getting the CL-31 operational in my printer - the instructions are a snap to follow - has made it THE stop for me without hesitation.

This product was a waste of my time to order. I was in a time crunch for a project when I realized that I was low on ink. Living in a rural community, there are no stores that carry ink cartridges. Thus, I depend on ordering on line. Therefore, I ordered expecting the order to arrive on Friday. On Saturday, I received a card in my mail box that my order needed to be picked up at the Post Office. I was expecting UPS or Fed Ex. Since my mail is delivered in the afternoon, it was to late to pick up the order and had to wait until Monday to get it. Then the ink cartridges did not work in my printer. Now I am either suck with the product that is unable to be used or waste additional time contacting customer service and returning the product waiting for a credit.

Ordered this to use in my Cannon Pixma ip2600 and they sent a Remanfuctured CL51 which they said was compatible. Did not work so they sent me a second set and they did not work as well. My printer could not recognize them. Asked for a refund!

I just got around to installing this color cartridge for a work based project and all the reds are printing out as a dark wine color. I am not happy! Now I need to run to Staples to complete my job.

Don't Send 2 From the Same Bad Batch!

By Tyler

Comments about Remanufactured CL31 Color Ink for Canon:

I ordered this cartridge for my Canon MP190 Pixma (all specs were correct for this printer/cartridge match), but the printer never recognized the cartridge. I called customer support about it, and they said that they were working on a new style of cartridge, and I must have gotten one that wasn't quite perfected and they would ship me a new one right away. I got the new one a week later, and it had the same issue! I called customer service once again only to be told that the new one was from the SAME batch as the old one. I'm still trying to figure out that reasoning... Anyways, they decided it was a good idea to ship me another new one and I accepted. Once again, no luck. Finally had to get a refund. Maybe they only made one batch...?

Comments about Remanufactured CL31 Color Ink for Canon:

A substitute was sent which fit my printer but was not recognized by it. I bought three boxes. I tried two with the same result. I notified LD and they refunded my charges and told me to destroy the cartridges. I bought a new HP ENVY printer. The HP laser cartridges (LD) work fine.
