How we scored these

  1. Cost-per-page when yield is published by the manufacturer.
  2. Compatibility risk (chip resets, firmware locks).
  3. Recent Amazon rating floor (avoid <3.5 where possible).
  4. Total out-the-door price including multi-packs.

Bottom line

Buy OEM when your printer is under warranty and print volume is low. Switch to high-yield or EcoTank-style bottles when monthly page volume makes the cartridge tax obvious. Re-check prices weekly โ€” ink moves fast.
