Check Warranty Before Buying Third-Party Cartridges

SUMMARY: Ensure that buying cheaper printer cartridges does not void your printer's warranty.


 

Tired of the high cost of printer ink cartridges and considering purchasing third-party cartridges or a cartridge refill kit? Before you decide, make sure you read your printer's warranty very carefully.

Some warranties specifically state that if you use third-party equipment, your warranty is voided. If your printer is already past the warranty, you may want to consider using these cheaper supplies, but be forewarned that the quality control may not be as high as that of manufacturer supplies and bad supplies could potentially damage your equipment. Caveat emptor.
