What’s the difference between OEM and compatible cartridges?
OEM cartridges are made by, or for, the manufacturers (HP, Canon, Lexmark, etc) for their own equipment. Compatible cartridges are made to work in the same equipment but by a factory other than the original manufacturer.
Why should I buy Compatible instead of OEM?
Compatible cartridges can save you up to 50% off the price of OEM products; and the compatible cartridges have a better warranty.
Who makes the Compatible supplies?
We have a company who manufactures them for us to our specifications.
What is your warranty/guarantee for supplies?
The OEM products are covered under their own manufacturer's warranty, whereas our Compatibles have the following warranty:
- Empire Office Machines warrants each laser toner cartridge to be free of defects for a period of one (1) year from the date of purchase.
Any remanufactured laser toner cartridge found to be defective in materials and/or workmanship during the one (1) year warranty period will be replaced at no cost. Empire Office Machines further warrants that the remanufactured laser toner cartridge, under normal use, will not cause damage, abnormal wear, or deterioration to any printer for which the cartridge was intended. Any claim that the use of remanufactured laser toner cartridge resulted in printer damage must be verified with satisfactory evidence that the cartridge was directly responsible for any such damage or failure. Any such claim is subject to verification by an authorized representative of Empire Office Machines. Upon satisfactory verification the manufacturer provides reimbursement for the directly related service cost.
Do you carry supplies for typewriters too?
