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.

It works!

I had previously purchased two remanufactured light cyan ink cartridges from another supplier as backups for my printer. When the ink needed replacing, neither of the cartridges were compatible with my Epson Stylus Photo 2200 printer even though the packaging said differently. I received your product in 48 hours from the time of the order and my printer was back on line.

Purchased these for a Epson Stylus photo 2200. Looks like I got the 2100 print cartridges. There was no expiration date on the box, as there has been in the past. 2 of the cartridge (light black) would not fit in my printer. I'm glad you sent this review, as I need to return the two that do not fit into my printer. How do I go about doing that?
Thank you.

Comments about Remanufactured Epson T034720 Light Black Inkjet Cartridge:

My Epsom 2200 can't use these cartridges any more. The machine won't work and doesn't acknowledge that the cartridge has been replaced. I need to take the printer in for servicing. If the tech says it's ok I might try using them again but we will see. The machine is old & has never been serviced.

All of your cartridges appear to equal the original manufacturer.
Asking me to review each item separately is
not a reasonable request.

Purchased to us in a printer that was given to me. Heads were clogged and couldn't get them cleaned. Had to return some of the product and they were very understanding and helpful. Very pleased with service but can't say much about product since never got to try it.

Comments about Remanufactured Photo T034 15 Piece Set of Ink for Epson:

Good value but had problems with one of the black cartridges. It worked fine at first but then had a major block. I kept trying to clean the ink head by running the epson cleaning cycle but gave up, knowing I was wasting other colors. Problem only solved when I took out the first cartridge and put in another new black cartridge.
