OEM Cartridges

Original Equipment Manufacturer

OEM stands for "Original Equipment Manufacturer." If Brother made your printer, they've also made a cartridge to go with it — designed for durability and precision, at a premium price.

The downside? Cost. Printer brands often sell hardware at thin margins, knowing they'll profit heavily on cartridges. Some estimates show that up to 40% of ink remains in a "dead" cartridge when the printer shuts it down — ink you paid for, wasted.

OEMs have been known to claim that generic cartridges shorten printer life. This is simply not true.

High Cost · Ink Waste Risk

Compatible Cartridges

Same Performance · Better Value

Compatible cartridges are manufactured by a separate company to the same specifications as OEM cartridges. They work in your printer exactly like the original — at a fraction of the cost.

Quality varies across brands, but African Distribution & Sales supplies only rigorously tested, high-quality compatible cartridges that stand their ground next to any OEM counterpart.
