Why do we always recommend using original ink?

Original ink ensures high print quality without smudges or strange lines.
It helps your printer last longer by preserving its components and not damaging the print heads. Using non-original ink can void your printer's warranty.
Original ink is safe and durable, keeping your photos and documents intact for a long time. While imitation ink might be cheaper initially, it can lead to higher costs in repairs or the need for a new printer over time.

What are the precautions for handling a laser printer (powder toner)?

- Avoid inhaling toner:  Laser toner is very fine and not healthy to inhale.
- Wash hands: Wash your hands after handling the toner to avoid contact with  eyes or mouth.
- Avoid liquids: Do not mix toner with any liquids as it can cause major issues and damage the printer.
- Proper storage: Store toner in a dry place away from sunlight and high heat to prevent it from hardening and spoiling.
- Careful cleaning: If toner spills, use a suitable vacuum cleaner or a damp cloth. Do not use a regular vacuum cleaner as it can blow toner into the air.
- Electrical safety: Always unplug the printer before opening it or handling internal parts to avoid electrical shocks.
- Keep away from children: Ensure the printer is out of reach of children to prevent improper handling.

What are the precautions for handling an inkjet printer (liquid ink)?

Precautions for handling inkjet printers (liquid ink)

- Avoid stains: Liquid ink can easily stain your hands or clothes. Be careful when handling cartridges. If you get ink on your hands, wash them immediately with soap and water.
- Do not touch print heads: Print heads are very sensitive. Touching them can damage or affect their performance. Avoid touching them in any way.
- Proper storage: Store cartridges in a dry place away from sunlight and high heat. It is preferable to store them vertically to prevent ink from leaking.
- Ensure compatibility: Use the correct ink cartridge for your printer model. Using incompatible ink can damage the printer or result in poor print quality.
- Regular ink checks: Regularly check ink levels and replace cartridges before they are completely empty to maintain print quality.
- Regular cleaning: Clean the printer regularly to avoid clogging the print heads. Most inkjet printers have an automatic print head cleaning feature; use it occasionally.
- Avoid air exposure: When changing ink cartridges, avoid leaving them out of the printer for too long to prevent the ink from drying out.
- Electrical safety: Unplug the printer before opening it or handling internal parts.
- Keep away from children: Store cartridges out of children's reach to prevent ink stains or improper handling.
