Don't Worry—You're Not Voiding Your Warranty!
Did you know that a manufacturer of a printer you are using cannot void your warranty because you use an inkjet cartridge or refill kit manufactured by someone other than the printer manufacturer? It's true! If you prefer to purchase name brand inkjet or toner cartridges, that's great, but it is NOT required for warranty purposes. An excerpt of the MAGNUSON-MOSS WARRANTY IMPROVEMENT ACT states: "(c) No warrantor of a consumer product may condition his written or implied warranty of such product on the consumer's using, in connection with such product, any article or service (other than article or service provided without charge under the terms of the warranty) which is identified by brand, trade or corporate name..."

How to Reach OEM or Original Equipment Manufacturers
Most reputable companies selling any type of compatible ink cartridge offer a good warranty (usually 1 year) should you need to return your purchase. However, most warranties and refund guarantees do not apply to OEM or Original Equipment Manufacturer products. OEM items are usually covered by their respective manufacturer’s warranty. If you should receive a defective product or have questions about its use, please contact the manufacturer directly.

Inkjet Trouble-Shooting Tip
An ink cartridge should be placed upright for at least 30 minutes prior to use; this will allow the ink to flow down to the print head and allow any oxygen bubbles to rise up and away from the print head.
