Printer Warranties and Compatible Toner Cartridges

The Real Deal About Printer Warranties and Compatible Toner Cartridges

 Per the Federal Trade Commission: OEM(Original Equipment Manufacturer) cannot, as a condition of the warranty, require the use of a certain brand of cartridge. Note that exceptions can be made to this only if the government decides “the warranted product will function properly only if the article or service so identified is used in connection with the warranted product, and the Commission finds that such a waiver is in the public interest.” Currently, no printer products appear to be included in this list, and any new applications must undergo review and public comment.

 The HP inkjet warranty is clearer than most: “For HP printer products, the use of a non-HP ink cartridge or a refilled ink cartridge does not affect either the warranty to the customer or any HP support contract with the customer.

Social Networking Ink Tip

When making a pitch, nobody wants to hear no. In the absence of a yes, you may think that “maybe” is preferable. But when maybe is a long prelude to no, it can be a waste of time and resources. It’s better to hear no sooner rather than later. Here are three steps to driving a decision: Be clear about your request. People often say maybe because they are confused about what you’re asking of them. Set a deadline. When meeting a prospective investor, buyer, or customer, explain when you need a decision. A deadline can yield a quicker yes or no. Know when silence means no. People hate to say no as much as you hate to hear it. When you sense that your audience is going to say no, but hasn’t built up the courage to express it, provide an out. Something as simple as, “I assume it’s a pass for now?” can help the other party be definitive about its decision.  Be efficient when managing your time.  It’s valuable…

Atlanta Inkjet And Toner Myths Explained

Many consumers have concerns when they purchase compatible and remanufactured printer cartridges for the first time.  Although these discount cartridges can help them save a lot of money, they may  worry about print quality, printer warranty, page yield, etc.  Following are the top 10 myths about remanufactured and compatible cartridges explained.

1)  Using compatible and remanufactured cartridges will void your printer warranty This is not true.  Under Magnusson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act, it is illegal for a manufacturer to force you to use a specific product as a condition of a warranty.  Printer manufacturers cannot void your printer warranty simply because you use compatible / remanufactured cartridges from other manufacturers.

2)  Compatible or remanufactured cartridges are inferior to OEM cartridges There are many third party manufacturers making compatible and remanufactured cartridges in the market these days.  Some of them may not produce high quality products but many others follow the highest standard (ISO standard) using the same specification of OEM cartridges in their production.  These high quality compatible or remanufactured cartridges perform just as well or better than the OEM cartridges.

3)  Use of compatible or remanufactured cartridges will damage your printer This is another myth printer manufacturers want you to believe so they can sell you very expensive OEM cartridges.  Printer cartridges are self contained units.  Defective cartridges may fail to print or may leak requiring some cleanup.  However, these malfunctions will not damage your printer and they happen to OEM cartridges as well as compatible or remanufactured cartridges.

Purchasing Tips for Discount Online Inkjet and Toner Cartridges

Tips for Buying Discount Cartridges Online

Buying printer cartridges online is both economical and convenient. Read our simple tips to improve your shopping experience.

A printer has become a necessity for many homes and small businesses. No matter whether you use it to print documents, charts or photos for your family or home office, chances are you need to buy replacement cartridges frequently.

Buying printer cartridges online is a great way to save your printing cost. There are many options available: OEM cartridges, remanufactured cartridges, compatible cartridges, ink refill kits(not recommended), or ink / toner recycle programs. Here are some simple tips that can improve your shopping experience:

1) Types of printer cartridges. Printer cartridges can be divided into 3 main types: OEM cartridges, remanufactured cartridges and compatible cartridges. Some stores only sell OEM cartridges while others sell all three types. Choose a store that sells the type of cartridges you want.

2) Price. Comparing price is simple but make sure you are comparing an apple to an apple. In general, OEM cartridges are the most expensive, followed by remanufactured cartridges and then compatible cartridges. 100% compatible cartridges are also more expensive than compatible cartridges that may not have all the new components (such as printer smart chips) installed. Print Green USA uses 100% compatible cartridges.

Although genuine OEM cartridges usually produce high quality printout, their price is often largely inflated. Due to keen competition and sharp drop in printer price, most printer manufacturers mark up the price of OEM cartridges dramatically to compensate for the loss of profit. In comparison, compatible cartridges and remanufactured cartridges are more reasonably priced.

3) Product quality. OEM cartridges are generally considered as the highest quality cartridges however the quality compatible inkjet and toner cartridges has caught up. In fact, many third party manufacturers are producing these discount ink / toner cartridges in ISO 9001 and ISO 14001facilities following the same specifications of OEM cartridges.

4) Yield of printer cartridges. Comparing the quantity of ink (how many ml) and the print output of toner cartridges (number of pages) can give you a better idea whether you are truly getting a bargain.

5) Fast delivery. Compare the shipping policy of individual vendors. How long does it take for them to ship out your order? Do they provide free shipping? Print Green USA provides free shipping no matter how small or large the order.

6) Money back guarantee. Most reliable vendors provide 90 days to 1 year warranty and Print Green USA provides their customers with a 3 year warranty. Many customers do not open their package and start using the new cartridges immediately after the purchase. An extended warranty period ensures that you can return the product and get a refund if something goes wrong.

7) Avoid Cartridge Refill Shops.  These inkjet refill stores do not adhere to the strict ISO 9001 manufacturing standards and generally have a very high rate of failure.  They also typically have a lower page yield hiding their true costs.

Inkjet Cartridges, HP, Lexmark, Brother, and Compatibles. An Analogy.

A good comparison is what the razor companies have done. They make their money on the actual cartridges or razor blades, not on the razor itself. I cringe everytime I’m at the checkout line and have to pay $40 for my monthly supply of razor blades. An expensive proposition just to keep my face clean-shaven. It’s a great business concept for them, not for the consumer. What Print Green USA offers is a compatible quality toner product at a significantly lower price. I wish I can say the same for the razor blade business…Look here for a inkjet, laser toner, and printer drum costs on: (HP, Brother, Dell, Samsung, Lexmark, Canon, Pitney Bowes etc).
