Basic differences between these toners

---

Compatible toner

also known as a non-original toner, is a newly manufactured cartridge made by a manufacturer other than the one that made your printer.

It differs from the original toner primarily in price. The sale of non-original toner cartridges is very widespread on our market, so you need to be careful about whom you buy compatible toner cartridges from. Unfortunately, not all of them are at an acceptable level in terms of processing quality and, consequently, print quality. Sometimes you may even come across toners that are harmful to health. A seller of non-original toner cartridges should have safety data sheets available, which serve as a guarantee of the cartridge’s safety. Various certifications are also a matter of course, guaranteeing product quality - ISO:9001 (quality standard), ISO:14001 (environmental management), and STMC (print quality and yield standard). Our company has both safety data sheets and certifications for compatible toners.

Manufacturers of original toners recommend using only original cartridges. Consumers are then often frightened and prefer to buy overpriced original cartridges because they are intimidated by a possible difference in print quality, which, however, is negligible or nonexistent with high-quality compatible toners. Original manufacturers also state a lower capacity for compatible toners, but again, this is not true for a high-quality compatible toner. An unrecognized warranty in the case of using compatible toners also does not have to scare consumers; nowadays, every quality seller of non-original cartridges is insured for cases that may arise from the use of non-original toners. If the printer is damaged by using non-original toner, a quality seller should arrange the repair at their own expense.

Original toner

or an original toner cartridge is manufactured directly by the printer and copier manufacturer.

By purchasing an original toner, you are guaranteed print quality, but its price may surprise you, as it sometimes even exceeds the purchase price of the printer.Most manufacturers take the approach of selling printers at production cost or even subsidizing the sale. They subsequently make money precisely from the sale of original toner cartridges.Sometimes you simply pay more for the brand than for the toner itself. If you have decided to buy original toner cartridges, but still like to save a few crowns, it is more advantageous to buy sets of original toner cartridges, if the manufacturer of your printer offers them.
