ELIVE.CO.NZ Recommend Buying Genuine Ink Cartridges

When it comes time to replace our printer’s ink cartridges, we actually have a choice between buying genuine, or third party compatible ink cartridges, and we can be forgiven for choosing the cheaper option. Compatible cartridges or refills are a very attractive option due to their cheaper prices. However, while they can generally perform to a satisfactory level, there are several factors customers should know about before buying and the helpful team at Elive.co.nz are happy to share their knowledge on the subject.

Third party ink is generally not colour calibrated to create brilliant printouts and when the colours are changed the quality may be seriously compromised. Problems can also arise when non-genuine cartridges are inserted into printers that require specifically formulated toner or ink. If such specifications are not met, ink can cause clogging and smearing and has the potential to spill out into the machine, degrading the mechanisms and circuit boards. The potential costs associated with using third party products can be substantial as it isn’t just the inconvenience suffered but the printer can suffer possible irreversible damage and the subsequent cost to repair or replace the machine can be considerable as most printer manufacturers’ warranties do not extend to cover issues caused by third party consumables.

Elive.co.nz stock the best brands including Brother, Canon, Epson, Hp, Lexmark and more and, although genuine ink cartridges are more expensive generally, Elive.co.nz sell online at New Zealand’s best prices which includes free shipping on all products. As the friendly and professional team at Elive.co.nz can attest, compatible cartridges will have a higher chance of failure and causing damage to the printer so they recommend using genuine cartridges if we want to be 100% sure of quality and if we are printing high quality photo prints requiring vibrant ink colour. Also, by using genuine ink cartridges we won’t risk damaging our printer, whether it be from a cartridge leaking, print head or drum damage which can potentially void the manufacturer’s warranty.
