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.

Why the new packaging?

I have purchased LD products for the companies I have worked at for the past five years. They are the cheapest compatibles that have always worked for me.
Previously they have always been in an LD box. This always seemed to make a statement that it was LD standing behind the product. My past two shipments have been different.
I have received a couple of blue boxes with penguins on them and ten green boxes with graphics of printers and components on them. Neither style has a company name.
In one respect I like the packaging better - It is the same size package as an OEM - The previous LD packaging was almost twice as thick.
The five star rating I'm giving is based on my previous history with LD products. I have not had time to determine if these are the same products with different packaging or if this is a new manufacturer and if so will it be a consistent quality product. I'm sure LD will replace anything if I ever have a problem with it but I'm still wondering what's up.

I've used LD Products toners for my Samsung printer for over a year. They work, they print well -- that part is all good.

My unhappiness stems from two facts I've closely watched since before using these. How many pages does the toner cartridge actually print, and how much toner is left in the cartridge when the printer calls it totally empty. The LDs fall flat on both counts.

I consistently get only 2500-2900 page prints out of these cartridges with a stated capacity of 5000. Granted what I print has a page density of more than 5%. But it does not approach 50%, which would be half a page in pure black. Sorry, they simply do not have the capacity they state.

Further, the LD cartridges cease working when there is still 10-14% of the toner remaining in the cartridge. This figure is reported by the Samsung print manager software, and indicates to me that, again, the full stated capacities of these cartridges can never be realized.

So while the price of the LDs is much less than the OEM cartridges, to a large extent you are only getting what you pay for. And much of the apparent savings is illusory.

Buyer beware.

Comments about Compatible Alternative for Samsung ML-D2850B High Yield Black Toner:

This unit I purchased not working properly, when printing double sides, the 1st side always has 1" blank area on top, sometimes, is has black lines on top 1 inch area. the 2nd side seem OK so far. Is this defective? O r how do I fix it? I Have already talked Samsung tech service, and they reinstalled the printer driver.

I was able to order the High Yield Cartridge for a reduced price, compared to another site that I had visited.
Keep up the good work!

I would probably buy this product again

Comments about Compatible Alternative for Samsung ML-D2850B High Yield Black Toner:

I've only been using the compatible alternative toner cartridge in my Samsung laser printer for about a week, thus why I gave a four star rating rather than a five. Thus far the cartridge seems to be working well. Other toner cartridges that I've purchased in the past, and that were said to be compatible, often left spots, lines and various other markings on my print work. I've not found any issues so far with the cartridge from 4Inkjets.

Service and delivery comments:

The deliver was prompt and the cartridge, wrapped in a sealed and air tight plastic sleeve was well protected.

Worked well for awhile

By Farmer T

from Broke, IL

Comments about Compatible Alternative for Samsung ML-D2850B High Yield Black Toner:

I don't know if it's the cartridge or the printer (Samsung ML-2851ND), but about a week after installing the new cartridge, I began having a grey band down the left center of anything printed on it. The band is still there and I can't use it that way. I've generally been pleased in the past with toner purchased from 4Inkjets.com. The color toners for my Xerox laser have all been fine, although the black toners don't tend to be quite as dark as the OEM ones. Can't beat 4Inkjets.com for cost savings!
