Question: The sales person told me I will void my printer warranty if I use any cartridge,
other than one sold by the printer manufacturer. Is this true?
Answer: Definitely not true!! Read the following and put your mind at rest.
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Improvement United States Code Annotated Title 15 Commerce and Trade
Chapter 50 Consumer Product Warranties 15 Section 2302 Act, Subparagraph C, Section 101.
"(c) No warrantor of a consumer product may condition his written or implied warranty of
such product on the consumer's using, in connection with such product, any article or service
(other than article or service provided without charge under the terms of the warranty)
which is identified by brand, trade or corporate name; except that the prohibition of this
subsection be waived by the commission if:
1) The warrantor satisfies the Commission that the warranted product will function properly
only if the article or service so identified is used in connection with the warranted product,
and
2) the Commission finds that such a waiver is in the public interest.
WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU, THE CONSUMER:
This means that no manufacturer of any printer may arbitrarily cancel or void any
warranty expressed on their product because you elected to use a compatible inkjet or
re-manufactured laser cartridge. Regardless of what any company sales representative, store
clerk or company trained service technician may tell you about the warranty. Quote the
Magnuson-Moss Act, most are not even aware of its existence. These individuals are
specifically, trained to promote high priced OEM consumable products. What else should they
do? Their year-end bonus depends on it!
