Xerox has mastered the process and made ink cartridges completely irrelevant, which is incredible. This eliminates much unnecessary waste, and it helps prevent any damage to the environment. Xerox also protected itself from third party manufacturers reproducing their ink products. The ink sticks that they use have a patent on the design, so it is not possible for a third party manufacturer to use the same design. This does not mean that third party manufacturerÂ’s have no opportunity to provide a low cost alternative to the Xerox solid ink sticks.
The compatible ink sticks produced by third party manufacturers is fairly impressive. These sticks have the exact same color as the Xerox products, provide similar page yield, and offer the same performance as Xerox products. If you are skeptical, you could compare the two ink sticks by getting a piece of paper and performing the crayon test. Simply take a Xerox stick and the third party stick and draw a line. You can compare the two lines and see if there is a significant color difference. You will see that it is almost impossible to notice any differences between the two products.
If you are afraid that the use of third party sticks will void your warranty, then do not worry. There is nothing illegal about using a third party product. In order to make sure you are safe, you could contact the third party supplier and see if there is any warranty or other offerings available to you.
In the end, the choice is yours. If you do not wish to try these low cost alternative ink sticks, then that is your decision. Over the long run, it could save you hundreds of dollars per year.
