original cartridges are ( new ) never been used before --- remanufactured are older cartridges that some one filles with ink, for the couple of dollars differents go for the new ones

To the best of my knowledge, they are simply used cartridge containers refilled. Like one respondent commented, sometimes they work well, sometimes not at all. I used to get my new cartridges refilled when they ran dry at a local store that did refills -- no waiting for them to be mailed and no shipping cost and they were inexpensive compared to new. The store stopped doing the refills -- no profit in it for them. I just search locally for the best price for new -- no bad cartridges to frustrate me and money lost in the process. I will say, however, every now and then (if I'm feeling lucky), I may buy them online. Hope this helps. To the best of my knowledge, they are simply used cartridge containers refilled.

Remanufactured are refilled and are usually less expensive than new. I have used them but 1 of 5 usually don't work and it is a hassle to try to return them. The only way I would recommend using them if there is a local store close by so if there is a problem it is easier than mailing it back. Unless you use a lot of ink buying new is the best way to go.

"Remanufactured" usually refers to "refilled". Used cartridges are cleaned up, refilled and sold as "remanufactured".

I have had issues with the remanufactured cartridges. Sometimes they are great, other times they don't last very long or don't work at all. I have gone back to using new as it is hit and miss.

No, but the black cartridge only worked for about 2 applications and then I had to throw it out. But the supplier DID send a replacement and that seems to be working. The colored cartridges have worked fine. I sure hope nothing bursts in MY printer. And I won't be purchasing any more of these remanufactured items.

To whom, I can't vouch for a nx230, but for my Emerson nx420 there is no difference between remanufactured and new ink. Hope this helps you. James

I can only say that I have not seen any difference in quality. As to what is in the cartridges, I cannot say. But they do compare in appearence to be the real deal. How they are able to sell them at this price I am unsure. But cannot realy say I am too concerned.

I am not sure what the difference is. I do know that this was not the card that was in my original printer but it worked great. If it was me I would buy it and try it.

The item is remanufactured using what appears to be original Brother components. As advertised, it is not new or OEM. I installed both parts a while ago and everything is working fine.

Yes to both. I bought mine from a office store. I cannot say for sure that these were full size, rather than shop floor demos, or less than full, I can say that it is several months later and I have not had to replace any of the original cartridges.

Charles, I have found that remanufactured cartridges have different issues with them. I had one that did the same returned it and bought genuine HP cartridges. I have gotten over 10 Printronic Cartridges and returned 6 of them so go figureRobert Y

I didn't see any indication that it were refilled cartridges. I believe they are new. Work fine for me.

I don't remember. The way I remember it, I used all the hardware from the old cartridge. I just took the old one out and installed the new one.

Since these are "after market", they do not come with a label to return the used cartridge to a facility. Great question though. You would think that they would want them back if they are also able to recycle them. This is my 2nd experience with an after market; the other company did not have a return label for the empty cartridge either.

I don't understand the question. But the cartridge I bought is very good at a smile price. I recommend.

I actually do not know. But I do know that REMANUFACTURED ink cartridges do not always work. I am back to using HP Name Brand again. I was NOT money ahead with the REMANUFACTURED ones...

Yes, the only difference is that the XL cartridge holds more ink. It will just last longer.

I have a Canon Pixma MP495 and the remanufactured cartridge I purchased worked great.

Judging from the picture provided, this item is original. Regarding remanufactured cartridges I've used in the past, I've had about a 50% success rate. Pertaining to the original cartridges, for the cost I wish that theyield was better. It's O.K. Hope this helps.

I can only speak for the one I purchased. The unit looked brand new; was packaged as brand new; was boxed as brand new. The only thing I can think of that would make it remanufactured is maybe someone ordered the item then decided to return. I can see absolutely nothing about this unit that does not say "brand new"
