The most frequent issues 🛠️

We’re honest with you — issues happen. Here are the common ones and how we resolve them in minutes.

🛡️ Most common

“Non-OEM Chip Detected” — the manufacturer firmware update

The manufacturer occasionally pushes firmware updates that flag third-party cartridges. It’s not a defect — just a software check on their side.

We solve it on the spot — we have instructions to help you, or we can send you fresh cartridges with the latest compatible chip firmware. Send a photo of the message — we’ll handle it in one reply.

Leaks 💧

Things happen during delivery (or even mid-print) that we can’t fully control. If a cartridge leaks, send us a photo — we replace it, no questions asked.

Other printer errors ⚠️

“Cartridge missing or damaged”, “incompatible cartridge”, alignment failures. A photo of the error + your cartridge model lets us diagnose fast.

Photo of a test print with white streaks across color stripes (poor print quality)

Print quality 🎨

Streaks, banding, faded text, missing colors. Send a photo of the test print and we’ll guide you through cleaning, alignment or replacement.

Cartridge setup & use

New to our cartridges or not sure how to install them? We’ll walk you through setup and answer any questions about using them.

Recycling

Done with used cartridges? If a prepaid label came with your order, we’ll help you send them back — otherwise we’ll point you to a nearby recycling drop-off.

Order & shipping

Payments, refunds, delivery delays, address changes, tracking — anything order-related, we’ve got you.
