Damage Resulting from Refilling the Inkjet Print Cartridges

To get the best performance from your printer, Hewlett-Packard recommends using only genuine HP supplies for HP inkjet printers, including genuine factory- filled HP inkjet print cartridges. Damage resulting from the modification or refilling of HP inkjet print cartridges is specifically excluded from coverage of HP printer warranties.

Refilling an HP inkjet print cartridge pushes the electronic and mechanical components of the inkjet print cartridge past their normal life cycle, creating many potential problems, such as:

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 cartridgeÕs 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 inkjet print cartridge while it is in the printer but not in use. Because this service station maintains the health of the inkjet print cartridge, quality problems might occur with this and future inkjet print cartridges.

¥If ink from a refilled inkjet print cartridge leaks onto the electrical components in your printer, severe printer damage can occur, causing down-time and repair costs.

Caution Damage resulting from the modification or refilling of HP inkjet print cartridges is specifically excluded from the coverage of HP printer warranties.
