Q: What is a remanufactured cartridge?

A: A remanufactured or non-virgin cartridge, is one that has been taken apart, cleaned, fixed (if needed), and reassembled. Once cleaned, these cartridges are refilled and sold. These are no longer considered OEM because they are no longer 100% original (the ink/toner and possible parts have been replaced). These cartridges should say ‘remanufactured’ either on the box or the cartridge itself.

Q: What is a Superhopper?

A: Superhoppers can be very difficult to distinguish from the original cartridge unless you have a picture or an OEM (original manufactured) cartridge in front of you. A Superhopper is a toner cartridge that has been modified to hold more toner. This can be seen when a standard yield cartridge is modified to become high yield by using a non OEM tank.

Q: What is a compatible cartridge?

A: Compatible or generic cartridges are made by a third party company. Because these are not made by the manufacturer, none of the parts used are OEM. These usually say ‘compatible’ on the box and/or cartridge and are made by non name brand companies.
