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.

Better Re-manufacturing than Others

It has been a long time since I bought a re-manufactured laser printer cartridge. My past experience has been with vendors who apparently just add toner to a used cartridge and then re-sell it as "re-manufactured."

After recently pricing brand new cartridges, which are expensive, I decided to try LD Products because of their claim of replacing worn components, a low (but believable) price, and their money-back guarantee.

The cartridge was delivered in a well-protected package. The cartridge had a pull-strip seal similar to what HP puts on brand-new cartridges to prevent toner leakage during shipment. There was no sign of leakage.

I was pleased to find that LD had replaced the drum, since these are usually well-worn by the time the toner runs out. From the very first page, the print quality has been as good as the original from HP, even when examined through an eye loupe.

I gave it four stars for quality, only because I haven't yet printed enough to see if the quality will last. But if this cartridge works about as long as a new one while giving continued quality printing, then I will definitely buy the next one from LD again.

Since I put your toner cartridge in my HP 2100 it's been having serious problems. Draws big black line across the top of the page and sticks a lot. The printer is old, but it was working before. I had the same problem with a toner cartridge I bought from you for my HP 2600n. I have purchased toner from you before and the cartridges worked fine. Can I trade these in?

DOA product and poor customer service

By PsychBiller

from Centreville, VA

Comments about LD Remanufactured C4096A / 96A Black Laser Toner for HP:

The first toner cartridge was dead on arrival. I have owned my printer for a very long time, and am very familiar with the installation of cartridges. I swished the toner back and forth, and removed the strip from the side (it didn't break). Some toner spilled, but no big deal. The cartridge flat out didn't work at all. Nothing appeared on a printed page.

The second cartridge appears to be working, though there is some toner residue at the leading edge of each page. I'm hoping this will disappear after printing a few pages.
