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.

Q:
Cartridge replacement!

I ordered a replacement cartridge from LD in the past for my Sharp AL-1655CS copier and it has LD-XD100 on the cartridge. Is the AL-100TD the same and compatible?

I appreciated the service I received when placing my order for our church. I could not give a full 5 star rating just yet, cause we have not the chance yet to use the toner,,,,, we just wanted it on hand for when the other one ran out. But so far we are happy camper, we are pleased so far with the rest of out order and plan to order again for LD products, Thank you all for your service.

On 9-2-2017 I purchased this product from an eBay vendor. The cartridge slid right in, except for the last fraction of an inch. I have made repeated efforts to install this cartridge. My depleted Sharp AL100td slips right in and powers up. This one causes a "CH" error on the panel and the machine promptly powers off. It appears that the door willl not close. It was shipped in the original, sealed LD packaging and carries an expiration date of 12-2018. The vendor has offered an exchange. If my luck improves I shall re-post. And from the other reviews here, it does indeed appear to be a matter of "luck".

Unacceptable copies

By Denny

from Santa Fe, NM

Comments about Compatible Sharp AL-100TD Black Toner:

This is a followup to my 9-11-2017 review. LD promptly sent a replacement AL100TD cartridge. It installed correctly and I immediately got five very good copies. Now, after about thirty copies, there are grey and black 1" wide streaks down the length of all copies. It looks like I have excess toner spilling into the interior of the machine. Appears that I will have to clean everything thoroughly and perhaps try again with a better brand cartridge. I bought this copier new and it has had very little use. This is the first time I've had to buy a toner cartridge, and my results are poor.

New Toner made my Sharp printer work like a new machine

By John

Comments about Compatible Sharp AL-100TD Black Toner:

My Sharp printer is used for business and personal affairs. When the replacement toner was inserted it made my Sharp Printer work as good as the day it was purchased.
Good company to deal with and they deliver their product within the three days promised.
