An HP compatible cartridge is really a remanufactured ink cartridge

The HP inkjet cartridge uses proprietary advanced inkjet technology. HP patented inkjet print heads offer high quality output at a reasonable price. However, since HP uses proprietary and patented technology it prohibits the manufacture or sale of compatible inkjet cartridges.

Therefore, when referring to an HP compatible cartridge we are really talking about a remanufactured ink cartridge. A remanufactured cartridge is an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) cartridge that has been cleaned, refilled and tested to the same specifications as the original.

An HP compatible cartridge is generally cheaper than an OEM cartridge. The cheapest option for your HP ink refill is to use a universal inkjet refill kit or HP inkjet refill kit. You also need to keep in mind that the HP cartridge contains the print head in addition to the ink which makes it more expensive to replace then other types of cartridges that contain ink only.

Whether you choose an OEM cartridge, HP compatible cartridge or inkjet refill kit there are various sources available to you.
