■ Compatible ink cartridges
Compatible ink cartridges are ink or toner cartridges that are made by a third party and designed to work with a specific printer model. They are also known as generic ink cartridges.
Compatible ink cartridges are often cheaper than genuine ink cartridges, but they may not be approved by the printer's manufacturer. Using third-party inks may also void the printer's warranty.
To find compatible ink cartridges for your printer, you can check the printer's manual, service manual, or product documentation. You can also search for compatible ink by using the printer's model number or cartridge number.

What is a Compatible Ink Cartridge? Non-OEM cartridges, (also known as compatible cartridges), are produced by a third party that is separate to the OEM. If an ink or toner cartridge is an OEM compatible, then that means that they are designed to be used by the corresponding OEM printer.
What is the difference between original and compatible cartridges?
The only difference between them is whether or not the company that made the printer made the cartridge. Genuine cartridges are where a manufacturer can make more of a profit. Since manufacturers invested so much into research and development of their products, they need to somehow make their money back.
