How easy are they to install?

Each cartridge is installed the same way that you would install the original OEM cartridge. They are individually wrapped in foil and have the yellow tab on top (which you remove when installing the cartridge - just like the original OEM cartridge.) We recommend that you use the head cleaning or nozzle cleaning utility that comes with your printer to clean the printer heads (you should do this EVERY time you replace any cartridge - OEM or Compatible). Go to Control Panel - Printers - Properties - Utility.

Why should I buy a compatible cartridge?

Why Not?? The main reason for using compatibles is to save money, lots of it!

Back to Top

Typically buying a compatible cartridge saves you about 50-75% over the cost of a new OEM cartridge. This usually amounts to $15-$30 every time you use our product. Check out the savings for your printer.

How can you sell them so cheap?

Our cartridges come straight from the factory - therefore - NO MIDDLE MAN to raise the price!!

How long will they last on the shelf?

Because we sell so many cartridges each month (100), we receive monthly shipments from our factory. Therefore our cartridges are fresh and have a tested shelf life of at least 20 months.

Do you have cartridges for my printer?

We carry compatible cartridges for most popular brands of printers which have no circuitry or electronics (the printer head) on the cartridges themselves. If you don't see your printer listed, give us a call and we will let you know if we have it in stock. If your printer is a new model and we don't carry it yet, check back with us by e-mail or this web site as new compatibles are added on a regular basis.

Will using a compatible cartridge void my warranty?

Major printer manufacturers sell printers at or below cost. They make their profits from selling the cartridges. Formerly, once you bought your expensive new printer you had no choice but to buy one of their cartridges after yours ran dry. By using compatibles you are cutting into their primary source of profit. Because of this, they will threaten to void your warrantee if you use compatible cartridges. They are simply trying to protect their own interests anyway they can. It is however strictly ILLEGAL for them to do so. They CANNOT VOID YOUR WARRANTY simply for using compatible cartridges. There is no reason that you should not use compatible cartridges. They work and will save YOU money.

We've sold hundreds of cartridges and never had an incident where a customer's warranty was "voided" from using our products.

Why don't you carry compatibles for my Hewlett Packard or Lexmark?

We do carry a large amount of the HP and Lexmark cartridges, but the Hewlett Packard and Lexmark printer cartridges have the printer head build into the cartridhand. You really have only four choices: A) Buy a new OEM cartridge every time. B) Refill the cartridge yourself (messy). C) Use our factory refill service such. We offer the Factory Refilling. They do over a million cartridges a year) or D) Some cartridges can be remanufactured - we carry as many as we can.
