With austerity still very much in people’s mind and the economy continuing to grow in Ireland, there has been a noticeable shift in the trend towards compatible printer ink in Limerick. In the past, many home users and businesses alike have bought ink cartridges without much consideration for the money that could be saved by making a switch to compatible or non-original ink and toner.This may well have been due to some of the bad press that compatible ink and toner would have received in recent years and rightly so. These days, however, the standard of the non-genuine compatible printer ink and toner is rivaling that in the quality of the original brands such as Epson, Brother, Canon, and HP. All good quality compatible ink cartridges are manufactured to ISO standards equaling that of the original brands and in general purpose everyday printing there is no noticeable difference.
