If you own an Okidata color laser printer, then you know the OEM cartridges typically cost $110.00 each. This is a considerable expense since you must purchase four cartridges. To make the situation worse, the cartridges can only print 3,000 pages, so you will need to buy more another set of four Oki toner cartridge in a short time frame. In order to eliminate this issue and make the most of your printer, third party manufacturers have made remanufactured and compatible toner cartridges available. The makeup of these cartridges makes them an enticing purchase.

An Oki toner cartridge that is purchased from a third party can be acquired for $26.00. These compatible cartridges also have a page yield of $5,000 pages per cartridge. If you purchase all four colors for the color laser printer, then you will pay $103.00. That means you can purchase your entire order for less than one OEM toner cartridge. This is an incredible price differential that convinces consumers to purchase the generic product. In order to prevent a catastrophic loss to their toner sales, brand name manufacturers try to convince their clients that the use of compatible products will void their printer warranty.

Thanks to the US government, the printer manufacturers cannot do that to consumers. The only time a printer manufacturer can void your warranty due to the usage of compatible goods occurs when a compatible product is directly responsible for the malfunction of your printer. Obviously, this is not the best scenario, but compatible products have the same failure rate as the brand name toner, so the chance this occurs is very slim.

In the end, your Okidata printer will work efficiently if you are using compatible toner or genuine OEM toner. The products are equivalent, in all areas except for price and page yield.
