What is the difference between Zinetic compatible imaging drums and the 45103713 OEM imaging drum?
An imaging drum that is original OEM / genuine has normally (but not always) been produced by the same manufacturer as the printer, a compatible imaging drum has been produced by a third-party factory to work in the printer that you own. You may also hear of a ‘remanufactured imaging drum’ which means that imaging drum was an original drum unit but has been collected after use, cleaned and all working parts including the OPC replaced for reuse.
Why use Zinetic compatible imaging drums instead of the OEM drum?
It is often assumed that only OEM drums, as they are produced by the same manufacturer as the printer, offer you high quality and great value –this isn’t the case. Using Zinetic compatible imaging drums instead will allow you to:
- Save money with your imaging drum – OEMs suffer from huge research overheads and so their drums are more expensive. Third party manufacturers who produce compatible imaging drums do not suffer the same high research costs, so we are able to offer compatible drums at a lower cost. saving money is excellent news, especially if you print in volume – you’ll even be able to purchase more imaging drums using the same budget as you had assigned to OEM drums.
- Print with the same quality to OEM drums – The quality of your prints does not have to decrease with a lower priced product; brand perception means consumers view original products as being of a higher quality which isn’t always true. Most compatible imaging drums will have the same quality as their genuine counterparts, but are much cheaper.
- Remanufactured imaging drums are better for the environment – remanufactured drums are truly a recycled product, they massively reduce any waste that is sent to landfill. Imaging drums are made from many rare materials including oil, plastic, metal, foam, aluminuim. Any company looking to decrease their impact on the environment should seriously consider switching to remanufactured products.
