Compatible cartridges

Compatible cartridges sometimes known as “generic” brand fit into inkjet printers instead of cartridges made specifically for the printer by companies such as Epson, HP, Lexmark, Canon and others.

Cartridges made by third parties can be significantly cheaper than those made by the printer manufacturers.

Manufacturers sell printers at a loss and make profits selling ink cartridges.  Compatible cartridges obviously threaten this model, and the printer manufacturers have mounted legal challenges with the compatible cartridge manufacturers.

Some manufacturers now have software to update the printer software and detect compatible ink cartridges. This is specifically designed so that the printer rejects compatible cartridges.

There have been a number of legal challenges, mainly in the USA, attempting to stop compatible cartridges and their manufacture.
