It was not so many years ago that printing anything from your computer gave a very poor and unsatisfactory result. Printers were still being developed and most printed only in black and white.
They still cost an arm and a leg to buy even though their output was poor but they used ribbons for printing and the cost of ink was a small consideration.
These days the inkjet printer has changed everything and we can now print out top quality pictures and text that is as good as anything a print shop could do. The problem now is the cost of ink. While inkjet printer are cheap to buy the ink we use in them is very expensive and it only takes a few full page colour images to empty one or more of your inkjet cartridges.
Fortunately the size of this market of people who want cheaper inkjet supplies has led to a whole industry of compatible inkjet cartridge manufacturers appearing on the scene. I have been using these alternative suppliers for years and have been very happy with the savings in price and the quality of the printing. The printer manufacturers may not like it as it reduces the profits they make from supplying very expensive ink and they say that the quality of ink is much worse from the compatible inkjet suppliers but then they would say that wouldn’t they.
Personaly I have used compatible inkjet cartridges for years and will continue to do so while the branded manufacturers continue to charge such ridiculous prices for their official cartridges.
