There are many different types of inkjet-cartridges that are made specifically for certain types of printers. If you buy an inkjet-cartridge that uses the same name as the printer you have, then it is considered an original manufactured cartridge. In other words, if you have a Canon printer and you buy a Canon inkjet cartridge then you are buying original equipment for your printer. Buying an inkjet-cartridge that is made by the same company as your printer is always the best choice but not your only option. The reason people look for off brand cartridges is because the original ones can become very expensive, especially if you do a lot of printing.

If you decide to use a different cartridge for your printer than the one that was originally designed for it then you may find a number of different inkjet-cartridges that can be substituted for the original. Many of them can deliver quality printing that will be as good as the original inkjet cartridge. One reliable inkjet-cartridge that can deliver quality, speed and that is economical to buy is called the Hewlett-Packard Tricolor number 78. This is a great choice for most HP printers. This product guarantees excellent image quality both for documents and photos. It may be a good idea to try different types of inkjet-cartridges until you find the one that is best suited for your printer.
