• Answer:

  Generally, compatibles will not cause you any problems as far as damaging you printer etc. However, in terms of print quality there can be considerable differences, so it depends on what you want to print. If it is mostly text, solid colour logos etc, no problem. The issues arise in particular if you are trying to print good quality photos on photo paper. This is where there will be noticable differences. Note that I say differences, because you might like the way particular inks look, as this is a matter of taste. But in terms of colour accuracy, you just might have problems. The best way to buy stuff like this is by recommendation. If you look at Amazon, or Ebay, look carefully at the feedback from other users to get an idea of the particular qualities the ink might have, as well as the manufactures business reputation. One that I have used frequently is Jet-Tec, who have been around a long time, and I have heard few complaints about.
