As an essential consumable for inkjet printers, ink cartridges occupy a very important position in people's lives and work. Then, how to let users polish their eyes, improve their knowledge of buying ink cartridges, enhance their awareness and vigilance, learn to distinguish between true and false ink cartridges, and protect their own interests at any time? Below we will introduce you to a few tips.

Touch recognition

HP printer ink cartridge has its unique anti-counterfeiting technology, and the words of origin and installation date (vertical font) will be printed on the lower right corner of the back of the outer packaging of any model of HP ink cartridge products. The words of HP's original products will feel concave and convex when touched by hand, while the touch of counterfeit products is smooth. This is the most basic method to identify HP ink cartridges.

Color-changing anti-counterfeiting label

In order to facilitate the use of HP users and distinguish the authenticity of HP ink cartridges, HP has updated the packaging of various ink cartridges in recent years. Add an "anti-counterfeiting label" printed with the registered trademark of Hewlett-Packard Company on the right side of the outer packaging of the new ink cartridge. Users can judge the authenticity of the original HP ink cartridge by the color on the anti-counterfeiting label. From the front, the logo of "HP" is green, but from the side, the pattern will turn blue and black.

There are ink injection holes. It must be a fake.

Because most counterfeit ink cartridges are filled or refurbished with used original ink cartridges, there will be ink injection holes at the top of the ink cartridges, while HP original ink cartridges do not have any ink injection holes.

Real goods are heavy, fake goods are light.

The ink content of true and false ink cartridges of the same model is different. Fake goods are low in content and light in weight, which is obvious by hand.

Remove the scales from the eyes.

Fake sellers usually sell genuine and fake ink cartridges together. In order to show the difference, they usually make a mark on the ink box, such as putting a tick or stamping a small chapter. Some marks are made on real goods, while others are made on fake goods. So when you encounter marked ink cartridges, you should carefully distinguish them.

Master the above identification skills, and the counterfeit ink cartridge will leave you! What you enjoy is peace and comfort of mind!
