| Inspecting Your Cartridge
|
|
|
Once you determine that your cartridge model is on our list, a simple visual inspection will
help weed out the few that are not acceptable.
Inkjet models vary in size and shape. All have a few basic components: a plastic body to hold the ink;
flex tape with a micro – circuitry; a printer nozzle; and a label showing the original manufacturer’s name or logo.
We can only accept “virgin cartridges” or those that have been refilled by The Ink And Toner Source.
|
|
Here are the most common signs that an inkjet cartridge is non-virgin:
• There is no manufacturer’s label, or one other than original.
• The cartridge body or cap has a hole drilled into it.
• There is evidence that the cartridge cap has been removed.
|
|
Inkjet cartridges are also unacceptable if damaged in one of the following ways:
• There are small chips or cracks or excessive scratches in the ink tank.
• The circuit tape is cracked, bubbled, peeling, or has sharp dents in it.
• The ink jet plate is gouged, scratched, or missing.
