Common Cartridge FAQs

What types of cartridges are there?

Cartridge Types	Price	Quality

Name Brand (OEM) Cartridge OEM stands for original equipment manufacturer, meaning the cartridge was made by the same company that made your printer. Name brand cartridges are designed to work with specific printers and are sometimes the only option if your printer is new or uncommon.	Many printer manufacturers follow the razor-and-blades business model, selling their printers for cheap while marking up the cost of their cartridges, which often results in higher priced ink.	Name brand cartridges work extremely well and are covered under a warranty by the printer manufacturer.

LD-Brand Compatible Cartridge A compatible cartridge is a brand new printer cartridge built by a manufacturer other than your printer. It’s like buying the generic version of the genuine brand. Most are designed slightly different from the name brand but they will still fit in your machine and print a full yield, just like the OEM.	Compatible ink is much cheaper than the name 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.	Premium compatible cartridges from LD Products match the quality and output of the name brand for less and are backed by a lifetime guarantee.
	$
LD-Brand Remanufactured Cartridge Remanufactured cartridges are name brand cartridges that have 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 where it is disassembled, cleaned and tested for quality. It’s then refilled, tested again and brought back to life. Buying remanufactured cartridges prevents one less cartridge from entering the landfill.	Remanufactured cartridges are much cheaper than the name brand. It’s far more cost effective to refurbish a previously used cartridge than create a new OEM from scratch.	Premium remanufactured cartridges from LD Products match the quality and output of the name brand for less and are backed by a lifetime guarantee.

Non-OEM 220ml inks for Epson 4000

I recently reordered ink cartridges for my 4000 Epson printer, instead of writing individual reviews, I am putting them all under this one review. I have always been extremely finicky about my color prints, I create my own profiles and tweak them to get what I consider the best color for the people who purchase my prints. I have to say after using...Read More

the different ink colors in the 8 color Epson 4000 printer, I see no difference in color from the OEM inks. I introduced one cartridge at a time as the OEM cartridge ran out and I kept using the same profile and never saw a difference, grants did could be very subtle, but I have older prints to compare newly printed images and I see no difference. This inks are in simplest in terms, a God Send, because at the great value LP are selling these inks I can afford to keep a reasonable supply of inks on hand, something that was just not feasible with the OEM ink cartridges. If you have an Epson 4000 printer, I highly recommend giving these inks a try, you will not be sorry at all. Read Less
