Quality
Part of the debate surrounding compatible consumables is about the quality of compatible products. Third part manufacturers defend the quality of their products vigorously. Independent testing on compatible ink shows little or no difference in quality between compatible and OEM products. However, many critics of compatible ink say the colors (especially yellow) on prints are not as bright as genuine ink, and that finished prints appear to be less glossy. Critics also say that color prints made with compatible ink are less durable than OEM ink and toners.

Famous quotes containing the word quality:
“The quality of the will to power is, precisely, growth. Achievement is its cancellation. To be, the will to power must increase with each fulfillment, making the fulfillment only a step to a further one. The vaster the power gained the vaster the appetite for more.”
—Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
“I have every characteristic of a night person—a distaste for bosses, a hatred of the expected, an obsession with gaining an ultimately nonexistent freedom—every quality except one. I can’t stay awake after a while. I fall asleep.”
—John Bowers (b. 1928)
“A quality is something capable of being completely embodied. A law never can be embodied in its character as a law except by determining a habit. A quality is how something may or might have been. A law is how an endless future must continue to be.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
