Tests show Original HP Ink Cartridges are better value than cheap inks

(e.g. HP Officejet 6200, HP 94, brochure paper)

Quality Logic Inc., a leading provider of QA and QC test tools and services for the imaging and telecommunications industries, tested the performance of Original HP Inkjet Print Cartridges vs. compatible, refilled brands.

Compatible, refilled brands claim to offer a better deal, but the Quality Logic study proved that's not necessarily the case 1.

The tests revealed that Original HP inkjet cartridges deliver 34% more pages and prints than refilled cartridges tested – and 52% more pages than cartridges refilled at refill stations.

You may think you're saving money with cheap inks but in the long run, the cost of wasted time, ink, and paper can more than make up the difference. Print, don't reprint.
