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:
“Unlimited economic growth has the marvelous quality of stilling discontent while maintaining privilege, a fact that has not gone unnoticed among liberal economists.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“Indeed, it is that ambiguity and ambivalence which often is so puzzling in women—the quality of shifting from child to woman, the seeming helplessness one moment and the utter self-reliance the next that baffle us, that seem most difficult to understand. These are the qualities that make her a mystery, the qualities that provoked Freud to complain, “What does a woman want?””
—Lillian Breslow Rubin (20th century)
“Spindly branches of buttercups were secreted among gleaming stems still moist at the roots from last night’s rain that had washed and refreshed the entire wood, had dowered it in poignant transparency, the unique, inconsolable quality of rainy countries, as if all was glimpsed through tears.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
