Dutch consumer test confirms quality of non-original cartridges

May 2007 Dutch consumer organisation confirms:
refilled/remanufactured cartridges can save money and are good alternative for non-original brands!


Just like its German sister-organisation earlier this year, the independent Dutch consumer organisation in early 2007 extensively tested non-OEM cartridges, and found that overall, they are a cost-effective alternative to OEM-cartridges.
In its May/June 2007 issue of magazine Digitaal gids (in Dutch) they conclude that overall, the performance of non-OEM equals that of OEM, but at a lower cost. This applies in particular in the case of refills or non-OEM branded black ink for HP and Canon printers.
More details and the article (in Dutch) is available from the Secretariat upon request.
