Everything You Need to Know
How much printing will I get from a typical cartridge?
- "Yield" gives average number of pages per cartridge ("page" defined as a business letter)
- Photos, charts, and graphics use much more ink than letters
- "High Yield" cartridges cost more up front, but typically last longer and are cheaper in the long run
If I buy extra cartridges now to save money, how long can I store them?
- Shelf-life can vary, depending upon storage conditions and each make/manufacturer
- Typically, original, sealed packages last about 12-24 months
- Typically, opened packages last about 3-6 months
Is there any harm in running completely dry on Ink?
- Yes. Inkjet print heads can overheat and be ruined, and nozzles can dry, causing actual machine damage
- It's best to replace the cartridge while there's still some ink left
Are remanufactured cartridges equal in quality to originals?
- Yes once purchased from a reputable dealer. They are existing cartridges that are taken apart, rebuilt, and freshly refilled to ensure optimum performance
- These cartridges also help conserve the earth's resources
What kind of remanufactured cartridges should I look for?
- Always choose cartridges sold by reputable dealers who guarantee product quality
- Poorly-made cartridges can damage machines: be wary of suspicious "bargains" from companies you don't recognize
Will my machine warranty be voided if I use generic or remanufactured cartridges?
- No. It's illegal for any manufacturer to require you to use their brand-name cartridge
- You can use any brand and still keep your warranty intact
