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?

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 will 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 will sync with the firmware. If it persists, 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 real expiration. Well stored in a cool, dry place, this cartridge lasts 2-3 years unopened.
What do I do if the printer says the cartridge is empty but it's new?
Remove the cartridge, clean the chip with cotton and a little alcohol, and replace it until you hear a click. If it persists, turn off the printer for 5 minutes. If the problem continues, write to us: you have a 3-year warranty.
