What if it arrives defective or does not work?

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.

Why does my printer not recognise the cartridge?

Switch the printer off for 60 seconds and back on; the chip syncs with the firmware. If it continues, remove the cartridge and clean the contacts with dry cotton before putting it back in.

Does the ink have an expiry date?

The date on the box is the end of warranty, not a real expiry. Stored cool and dry, this cartridge lasts 2-3 years unopened.

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.
