While often cheaper, non-OEM cartridges can sometimes cause printing errors. They may not be recognized by the printer, can have inconsistent ink/toner quality, or might not fit perfectly, leading to paper jams or poor print quality. Some printers have chips that detect and reject non-OEM cartridges.
