Why does the website product reviews say there were 6 reviews but I can read only 3 reviews?
5 reviews means 5 people gave a 1-5 star rating, however, only 3 people may have written comments. Most people just give ratings, but not comments.
Your reviews are important to us and if we receive several bad reviews on an item, we will pull that item. We only want to sell quality items that our customers will enjoy.
Where can I get more information on products than what is provided on the website?

If you still have unanswered questions, you can call our Customer Service Representatives toll free at 1.818.275.INKS. We can then direct you to someone who might be able to answer you questions. If you still do not have your questions answered, please contact the product manufacturers.

What are the differences between OEM and Retail items?
The retail and OEM versions usually will have the same exact products. The retail version usually will come with bundled software, retail packaging, and more bells and whistles, so to speak. OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer), White Box or Brown Box versions will come with the actual product and sometimes the drivers, but not much else; no special packaging or software. Usually, the retail version will be accompanied by a longer warranty. The OEM version is more for people who build systems and know what they are doing and do not require any extras.
What are the differences between Compatible Cartridges, Remanufactured Cartridges, and OEM Cartridges?
Compatible Cartridges - Inkshouse.com's compatible cartridges are manufactured by a respected manufacturer, with high quality standards (ISO 9001 certified), using partly or all brand new parts. They are manufactured based on the same specifications as the OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and perform at the OEM level for print quality and page yield, but are more affordable.

These manufacturers are respectively certified by Epson, Canon, HP, Lexmark, Brother and others.
What is a refurbished item? Who refurbishes them, InksHouse.com or the manufacturer?
The refurbished items have been opened and/or returned. They are all considered OEM, bare bones products. Because their origins can come from different situations they sometimes come with some extras or in retail boxes. The refurbishment is done by the manufacturer. There should be nothing wrong with the item(s). They usually have a shorter warranty period; please check the item description and terms.
