Q: Will using non-OEM cartridges void my printer warranty?
A: Using non-OEM cartridges will NOT void your printer warranty. Federal law prohibits any company from requiring you to purchase only their products and prohibits a manufacturer from voiding your machine's warranty simply by using alternative cartridge solutions.
Q: What is the difference between a compatible and a remanufactured cartridge?
A: A compatible cartridge is a generic replacement for OEM cartridges, while a remanufactured cartridge is a recycled OEM cartridge that has been cleaned, refilled, and tested to meet factory standards.
Q: Why does my new cartridge show up as empty or low when I install it into my printer?
A: Some remanufactured cartridge models will prompt an empty or low ink level message due to limitations set by the OEM design. These messages are not accurate. To bypass the prompt, click OK or Continue to proceed through the message and clear the prompt. For Canon inkjet cartridge models, you can bypass the prompt by pressing and holding the STOP/RESET or RESUME button (upside down triangle in a circle icon) for 10 seconds and releasing.
Q: Why does my printer show “Used, Refilled, or Counterfeit Cartridge Detected” or “Previously Used Cartridges Installed” when I install your cartridges?
A: This message appears to remind you that you did not purchase and install OEM cartridges. Simply press "Proceed," "Continue," "Accept," "Yes," or "OK" to dismiss the prompt.
Q: Why am I getting an error on my printer saying the cartridge is not recognized?
A: Several factors can cause this message. Ensure you have the correct cartridge model number for your printer. Use a dry, lint-free cloth or a rubber eraser to remove any debris from the contact points on the cartridge to ensure a good connection with the printer. Make sure the cartridge is installed firmly into the printer. If the message persists, it could be due to a newer firmware version on the printer that disables non-OEM cartridges. Contact our customer support team by calling (519) 930-8877 or by emailing info@printoxe.com for further assistance.
Q: How do I improve the print quality if the pages are printing out poorly or blank?
A: To improve print quality, run a cleaning or printhead cleaning cycle on the printer. You can find this maintenance feature through either the Tools or Setup menu on the printer or through the Services tab of the printer’s software. If you are unable to locate this feature, refer to your printer’s manual or documentation.
Q: Why is the advertised page yield not accurate?
A: The estimated page yield is based on ISO standards of 5% coverage. Several factors can contribute to the deviation of this yield, including printing at higher or lower page coverage, printing on different page sizes, printing images or photos, and performing maintenance procedures on the printer.
Q: How do I contact customer support?
A: You can contact our customer support team by calling (519) 930-8877 or by emailing info@printoxe.com. We are here to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.
Q1: What is an ink cartridge used for?
A1: An ink cartridge is a component of an inkjet printer that contains ink for printing text and images on paper. It is designed to be replaceable and is critical to the printing process, allowing the printer to produce high-quality prints.
Q2: What are the main ingredients in ink cartridges?
A2: The primary components of ink in ink cartridges include:
- Water: The base solvent, making up the majority of the ink.
- Dyes and Pigments: Provide the color for the ink. Dyes dissolve completely in water, while pigments are finely ground particles suspended in the liquid.
- Surfactants: Help the ink spread evenly on the paper.
- Biocides and Fungicides: Prevent microbial growth that could clog the cartridge or degrade the ink.
- Humectants: Help retain moisture to prevent the ink from drying out.
- Polymers: Enhance the durability and adhesion of the ink to the paper.
Q3: Are there any hazardous ingredients in ink cartridges?
A3: Some components in ink cartridges can pose health risks if mishandled:
- Dyes and Pigments: Certain dyes may cause skin or eye irritation upon contact.
- Biocides and Fungicides: These chemicals can be harmful if ingested or if they come into prolonged contact with skin.
- Solvents: While water is the main solvent, some inks may contain additional solvents that can be irritants or toxic if ingested.
Q4: How can I safely handle ink cartridges?
A4: To minimize exposure to potentially hazardous materials, follow these safety guidelines:
- Avoid direct skin and eye contact: If ink gets on your skin, wash it off immediately with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical attention if irritation persists.
- Avoid ingestion: Keep ink cartridges out of reach of children and pets to prevent accidental ingestion.
- Proper disposal: Dispose of used ink cartridges according to local regulations.
Q1: What is toner used for?
A1: Toner is a fine powder used in laser printers and photocopiers to form printed text and images on paper. It is housed within a toner cartridge and adheres to paper through a combination of heat and pressure during the printing process.
Q2: What are the main ingredients in toner cartridges?
A2: The primary components of toner include:
- Plastic (Polymers): Heat-sensitive plastic particles, such as styrene-acrylate copolymer or polyester, which melt during printing to help the toner stick to paper.
- Pigments: Carbon black for black toner and various organic pigments for color toners (cyan, magenta, yellow) to provide color.
- Iron Oxide: Magnetic particles used to create the necessary magnetic charge for the printing process.
- Charge Control Agents: Compounds that manage the electrostatic properties of the toner.
- Wax: Polyethylene or polypropylene wax to improve the fusing process and printed image durability.
- Additives: Silica and other substances to prevent clumping, improve flow, and enhance adhesion and durability.
Q3: Are there any hazardous ingredients in toner cartridges?
A3: Some components can pose health risks if handled improperly:
- Carbon Black: Classified as a possible human carcinogen if inhaled in significant quantities over long periods.
- Silica: Fine particulate silica can be a respiratory hazard if inhaled.
- Plastic and Wax Particles: Generally non-toxic but can cause respiratory irritation if inhaled as fine particles.
Q4: How can I safely handle toner cartridges?
A4: To minimize exposure to potentially hazardous materials, follow these safety guidelines:
- Avoid inhaling toner dust: If a cartridge leaks or breaks, clean up the toner carefully using a vacuum designed for toner spills (with a HEPA filter) or a damp cloth.
- Avoid direct skin contact: Wash your hands thoroughly after handling toner cartridges.
- Proper disposal: Dispose of used toner cartridges according to local regulations.
Q1: What is 3D PLA filament used for?
A1: PLA (Polylactic Acid) filament is a type of plastic used in 3D printing. It is popular due to its ease of use, low cost, and eco-friendly properties. PLA filament is used to create a wide variety of 3D-printed objects, ranging from prototypes to finished products.
Q2: What are the main ingredients in PLA filament?
A2: The primary components of PLA filament include:
- Polylactic Acid (PLA): A biodegradable thermoplastic derived from renewable resources like corn starch or sugarcane. It is the main ingredient.
- Colorants: Pigments or dyes added to give the filament its color.
- Plasticizers: Added to make the PLA more flexible and easier to print with.
- Stabilizers: Help maintain the filament's properties during storage and printing.
Q3: Are there any hazardous ingredients in PLA filament?
A3: PLA is generally considered safe and eco-friendly. However, there are some safety considerations:
- Fumes: While PLA emits fewer fumes compared to other 3D printing materials, the printing process can still produce ultrafine particles and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It's advisable to print in a well-ventilated area.
- Plasticizers and Additives: While the primary ingredient, PLA, is non-toxic, some colorants and additives might contain hazardous substances. Always check the manufacturer's safety data sheet (SDS) for detailed information.
Q4: How can I safely handle PLA filament?
A4: To ensure safe handling of PLA filament, follow these guidelines:
- Ventilation: Print in a well-ventilated area to minimize exposure to any fumes or particles emitted during printing.
- Proper Storage: Store PLA filament in a cool, dry place to prevent degradation.
- Avoid Ingestion: Small PLA filament pieces and the small printed objects should be kept away from children and pets to prevent accidental ingestion.
