When your printer’s maintenance kit is due for a replacement, one question always looms large: to go OEM or compatible? Both provide the potential for prolonging your equipment’s optimum performance but by understanding the difference, you will be in a better position to make a more informed and cost-effective decision.
What Is An OEM Maintenance Kit? An OEM maintenance kit (Original Equipment Manufacturer) is made by the same company that makes your printer—HP, Canon, Epson, Kyocera, etc. Since it is designed for that specific model, you get the assurance of a perfect fit, smooth operation, and long-lasting reliability. The drawback? Price. OEM printer components can be pricey and often come close to being as expensive as a new printer.
What Are Compatible Maintenance Kits? A third-party supplier manufactures a compatible maintenance kit, but one in accordance with OEM standards. A good compatible kit should work as well as the original, but save you outrageous sums of money. It is not unusual for many users to avail themselves of compatible printer parts to obtain reasonable printing costs and reliability in operation. Quality varies in all supplies of this type, so it is advisable to do business with a reputable supplier who specializes in a line of professional printer maintenance solutions.
What Should You Buy? If you are using equipment that is still under warranty or performing very critical work daily, opting for an OEM kit will likely add to your peace of mind. However, should you be running several printers, wish to control costs, and still operate with reliable, efficient materials, a good, reputable compatible maintenance kit will probably be the much better long-term investment.
Both OEM and compatible maintenance kits depend on each other in the affairs of the printer. The right decision depends on the operator’s attitude toward printer downtime—unfortunately, as they say, there is often a big difference between the price and quality of reliability and either safety or convenience, at least while you are a customer.
What matters is a supplier you can rely on for dependable quality and good after-sales service from a dependable source. Clearly, the right maintenance kit does more, properly applied. Keeping your equipment in proper condition is primarily a function of proper maintenance, but such maintenance is also of importance in extending its life, cutting down on expenses involved in its running, taking the down time factors into account and sure enough the ultimate concern possibilities for costless printing in these modern economical times where so many challenges abound, but after all are meant to be overcome.
