Print cartridges
To get the best performance from your printer, Hewlett-Packard recommends using
only genuine HP supplies in HP inkjet printers, including only HP print cartridges.
Damage resulting from the modification or refilling of HP cartridges is specifically
excluded from coverage of HP printer warranties.
Refilling an HP cartridge pushes the electronic and mechanical components of the
cartridge past their normal life cycle, creating many potential problems, such as the
following:
Poor print quality
■
Non-HP ink can contain components that cause nozzles to become clogged,
resulting in streaked copy and graying or fuzzy characters.
■
Non-HP inks can contain components that corrode the cartridge’s electrical
components, resulting in poor printouts.
Potential damage
■
If ink from a refilled cartridge leaks, the excess ink might damage the service
station that caps the cartridge while it is in the printer but not in use. Because this
service station maintains the health of the cartridge, quality problems might occur
with this cartridge.
■
If ink from a refilled cartridge leaks onto the electrical components in your printer,
severe printer damage can occur, causing down-time and repair costs.
