Printer Ink : What is it?

printerink1

Printer ink creates permanent prints on paper using a computer printer. It comes in a plastic cartridge that slides along the printer to distribute ink across the paper. It is only used in inkjet printers, since laser printers user powder toner to create prints. It is available in both black and colored types. Colored ink is usually divided into the primary colors yellow, cyan, and magenta.

Kinds of Printer Inks include the following:

Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) printer ink

OEM printer ink is designed to work with specific printer models. It provides the best print quality and is covered by most warranties. It is the most expensive type of printer ink.

Compatible printer ink

Compatible printer ink is designed to comply with OEM printing standards. It is also designed for specific printer brands. It offers almost the same quality as OEM ink, but at a much lower price.

Remanufactured printer ink

Remanufactured printer ink is made from recycled ink and cartridge materials. It is usually tested for quality and efficiency before selling. It is the cheapest printer ink available, but it is not very reliable.
