A question that comes up again and again is whether or not using a compatible ink/toner cartridge (or any third-party cartridge, for that matter) will void a printer’s factory warranty. The answer is NO.

Using third-party ink and toner cartridges has no effect on your printer’s warranty. Many consumers believe that their printer can only use ink and toner from the original manufacturer. Wrong.

That would be like IKEA requiring a buyer to use IKEA-branded tools to assemble IKEA-branded furniture. A more fitting example might be Dell requiring you to use a Dell-branded mouse or USB thumb-drive on one of its computers. It is federally required that a manufacturer preserve its warranty regardless of whether or not the owner uses first- or third-party peripherals with the warrantied item.
