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.

As Usual, a first class experience, first to last!

This was a 4inkjets replacement toner cartridge for my Samsung 315 color laser printer. I have been a customer of this firm for years and have moved from inkjet printers over the years until now to using laser. I have always been more than pleased with the way they do business. They are very prompt in getting the replacement products to me, recognizing that with a small office staff, we tend to wait till the last minute to reorder. I ordered on a Friday and received the product on the following Monday. The product, itself, was easy to install and the output is equal to or better than my Samsung toner cartridges costing $25 or $30 more. 4inkjets will always be my source of printer's materials.

Hit and miss, make sure to buy rubber bands

These cartridges will not work until a rubber band is installed around the chip and the side of the cartridge. Any cartridges that are oem rebuilt cartridges will work out of the box but...Read complete review

Economical toner

Comments about Samsung CLT-409S Compatible Set of 4 (Bk, C, M, Y) Toners:

This is my second set of toners for my 5 year old printer. I bought my last set 2 years ago from the same company, and they lasted 976 sheets before 2 of the 4 toners signaled low levels. I was hoping to get 1500 sheets like the OEM cartridges did, but for the low price, the result was OK. No problems in the printer and colors are sharp again. I ended up replacing all 4 at the same time because the yellow was low, even though the printer predicted 35% toner remaining. I suspect the sensors do not read as well for predicting life. The package arrived early with no damage.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!

Comments about Compatible Alternative to Samsung CLT-K409S Black Toner:

This product was terrible. It cause ghosting issues for my printer. When I asked to return the product, ink cartridges said NO! They said it was my printer, not the replacement toner. I bought another toner (A REAL Samsung toner) and the ghosting disappeared. Somehow I don't believe that this product was not to blame!
