Toner and ink cartridges

What is the difference between an original and a compatible cartridge?
An original cartridge is made by the device manufacturer itself (e.g. HP, Canon). A compatible cartridge is made by a third party to the same specification — cheaper and usually with no loss of quality.

Will a compatible cartridge damage my printer?
No. A quality compatible cartridge is designed to match the printer and does not damage the device. A-Tahm’s compatible products are tested and covered by a warranty.

Can an empty cartridge be refilled?
Yes, a laser printer toner cartridge can usually be refilled 3–5 times. See the Cartridge refilling page for details.
