Remanufactured cartridges are made from OEM cartridges. Cartridges can frequently be re-used and thus extend their useful life. This is possibly an option for a buyer who wants to maintain the original namesake, for personal reasons or if he or she has been convinced of higher quality/dependabilty.

It is another option where other cartridges like the compatible cartridge for a given make and model printer happens to be found in short supply, or is backordered. Although if you are in the habit of purchasing remanufactured cartridge supplies, since you already have a working cartridge, a refill center could be an attractive alternative.
