What are compatible cartridges ?
What does compatible mean ?
Answer:
Compatible cartridges are brand new cartridges ready for use, manufactured by companies other than the company that
manufactured the printer in which the cartridges are to be used. This means that the cartridges you buy to fit your
printer are brand new and compatible to your printer.
Question:

Answer:
Details are listed in your printer manual you received when you bought your printer. However, if you bought a second
hand printer and don't have a manual, go to our information page and all is
explained there. There is also a step by step guide in your printer properties box, this is the box that appears when
you select [ Print ] to print a document or image on your computer.
Question:
Why do I get an on screen message telling me that 'the installed cartridge is not an Epson cartridge'?
Answer:
This is because you are using a compatible cartridge (a brand new cartridge made by a different company) and Epson
have electronic signatures built in to their cartridge microchips in order for Epson printers to recognise their own
brand of cartridge and to attempt to discourage the use of cartridges not made by their company. When you see this
message, it also asks you if you wish to continue using this cartridge.
Click on [ Yes ] when you see this and printing will continue as normal.
If you press [No], the microchip will be reset and the cartridge will then be unusable.
Question:
Why are compatible cartridges so much cheaper to buy than the printer manufacturer brand?
Answer:
Neither the original manufacturer's nor the alternative manufacturer's cartridges are very expensive to manufacture,
but the original manufacturer requires and can demand so much more money for their brand of cartridge as they are the
company that holds the copyright & brand name of the printer and also have major branding advertising and investor
profits to maintain, whereas alternative manufacturers have no major branding advertising or investor profits to
maintain and so, can sell their cartridges at a standard mark up value.
Question:
Why do my prints have lines through text or images?
Answer:
This is something that usually happens when (a) you replace an empty cartridge with a full one. (b)
you have not used your printer for a few days.
It is usually due to either clogs in the tiny print nozzles or air trapped between the print nozzles and the new flow of
ink from the cartridge. Epson, Canon, Brother, HP, Lexmark, Xerox and other printer manufacturers are aware of these
problems of maintaining continuous flow when the ink reservoir (cartridge) has to be removed from the print head and a
new one attached or a cartridge is refilled and as such, the software provided with the printer has maintenance tools
built in for your use so as to clear blockages and air locks. There are visual examples of print quality within this
software showing correct and incorrect print test patterns. Air locks are difficult to remedy using the tools provided,
therefore, we provide additional helpful information on our ink cartridge information
page to assist you.
