Most printer owners and toner cartridge consumers have seen the names "genuine", "original", "OEM", "compatible", "generic", remanufactured", "refilled", ect. being used to describe toners being sold across the internet.
However, most aren't completely clear on what each of these descriptions really means.
They know that genuine/OEM/original toners are priced higher than compatible/generic and remanufactured/refilled toners, but why?
There are three main types of toner cartridges:
Each type of toner cartridge carries different strengths and weaknesses.
Before we dive into the specific strengths and weaknesses of each type of toner cartridge, the following is a brief description of genuine OEM, compatible, and remanufactured toner cartridges:
Genuine OEM cartridges are manufactured by the original brand manufacturer of the printer they are being used for.
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer.
For example, genuine HP toners are manufactured by HP and genuine Canon toners are manufactured by Canon.
Genuine toners are designed specifically for the printer model they are used for and the paper type used by that printer model and are original and brand new.
Compatible toner cartridges are toners manufactured by a third-party manufacturer.
Compatible toners are also referred to as generic toners. Compatible toners have no affiliation with the original manufacturer of the printer.
FUSICA Compatible toner cartridges look like this
Best compatible toner manufacturers and the best generic toner brands essentially attempt to replicate the original toner design without infringing on the original manufacturer's product patent.
The process is similar to pharmaceutical companies manufacturing generic prescription drugs that are meant to mirror the original brand name drug.
Like generic prescription drugs, many compatible toners are very close replicates of the original toner model, however many also are very far off from the original.
With compatible toners, although many compatible toner manufacturers are able to produce toners that tightly mirror the original model, the fact remains that you are putting a product into your printer that was not manufactured by the same manufacturer of the printer and problems can and often do arise when using compatible toners.
The quality of the toner is inconsistent across different compatible models and you never truly know what you’re getting.
Here is how remanufactured cartridges look like
Remanufactured toner cartridges are toners that have been used and refilled.
Remanufactured toners are also referred to as refilled toners. Many companies will purchase empty cartridges, clean them, and refill them.
On average, about 90% of old toner cartridges are able to be kept and used in the remanufacturing process, with 10% of the cartridge typically being broken down for recycling.
Similar to how the quality of compatible toners is inconsistent, the quality of remanufactured laser toner cartridges is also inconsistent because the remanufacturing process fluctuates between remanufacturers.
The quality of the toners being remanufactured also fluctuates - some companies remanufacture genuine toners and some companies remanufacture compatible toners and many companies remanufacture both.
Again, as a consumer you never truly know the quality of the product you’re putting into your printer.
Genuine toners typically have the highest page yields
Except in rare cases, compatible and remanufactured toners do not last as long as genuine toners and print far less pages .
However, FUSICA toner cartridges are all filled with 1.1 times the standard volume of toner.
So our toner cartridge can be used as long as the genuine toners.
Toner cartridges are a pivotal component of the printing process and directly influence the print quality of a printer.
If you want your printer to deliver its highest potential for text and image quality, it is important to use the highest quality toner, such as FUSICA.
When it comes to print quality, genuine toners are in a league of their own when compared to compatible and remanufactured toners.
However, FUSICA use high quality toner powder which is not far from genuine toners, so we ensure delivering crisper text and image quality that is brighter and sharper with more accurate coloring .
You won't come into poor printing quality like lacking and the colors inaccurate using our products.
Another important factor of print quality is how long the print lasts over time.
FUSICA also enure our compatible and remanufactured toners does not fade easily.

With compatible toners, the problems that can arise are caused by several factors such as variation in electrostatic qualities, melting points, pigments and particle sizes. These factors can and often do result in the toner leaking and damaging the printer.
With remanufactured toners, waste toner and paper debris can be left in the cartridge from each print job , which often leads to backgrounding issues and the remanufactured toner becoming contaminated.
