Does using a compatible cartridge void my printer warranty?

Free exchange within 14 days and Statutory consumer rights. If it does not work, we send you a new one with a tracking number with no need to return the first.

What do I do if the printer says the cartridge is empty but it is new?

Take the cartridge out, clean the chip with cotton and a little alcohol and put it back until it clicks. If it continues, switch the printer off for 5 minutes. If the problem persists, write to us: Statutory consumer rights.
