Do I lose my printer warranty?

Using a compatible cartridge does not by itself establish the cause of a fault; keep your documentation and contact us if a problem occurs.

Does using a compatible cartridge void my printer warranty?
Your Startoner consumable is covered by a three-year legal conformity guarantee. Printer coverage is governed by the manufacturer’s terms and may exclude damage caused by consumables. Using a compatible cartridge does not by itself establish the cause of a fault; keep your documentation and contact us if a problem occurs.
How many pages does it print?
Yield per color measured according to ISO/IEC 24711 (5% coverage): Cyan 470, Magenta 470, Yellow 470. Actual yield depends on the type of printing.
How long does shipping take?
The estimated delivery date and cost are shown at checkout before payment.
What if it arrives defective or doesn't work?
Free exchange within 14 calendar days (art. 102 RDL 1/2007) and 3-year legal warranty (art. 120). If it doesn't work, we send you a new one with a tracking number without you having to return the first one.
Why doesn't my printer recognize the cartridge?
Turn off the printer for 60 seconds and turn it back on; the chip synchronizes with the firmware. If it continues, remove the cartridge and clean the contacts with a dry cotton swab before reinserting it.
Does the ink have an expiration date?
The date you see on the box is the "warranty end date", not the actual expiration. Well stored, in a cool and dry place, this cartridge lasts 2-3 years unopened.
What do I do if the printer says the cartridge is empty and it's new?
Remove the cartridge, clean the chip with a cotton swab and a little alcohol, and replace it until you hear a click. If it continues, turn off the printer for 5 minutes. If the problem persists, write to us: you have a 3-year warranty.
