Some cheap inks have less alcohol, which is probably the most expensive ingredient after the dye. This normally helps lubricate and clean the nozzles. Not real irreversible damage, but can affect quality of nozzle or laser jet.

No, the ink itself can't damage the printer. Using cheap paper, on the other hand, like paper that says copy paper instead of printer paper or inkjet paper, will cause you to use way more ink than necessary. I have always used cheap ink, like the refill kits and stuff, and the only problem I've experienced is making a little mess filling up the cartridges, and if your ink cartridges sit "empty" for too long before you refill them, they don't really want to print because the printer heads on the cartridges dry out. Which is a pain, because then you really do have to buy a new cartridge.

For both laser printer and ink jet printers cheap ink have the capability to damage the printers. Not all duplicates are bad but some duplicates are really horrible.

I don't know about cheap ink, but cheap cartridges certainly can, especially if they are recycled in the wrong way or are not made by the manufacturer of the printer. Cheap ink can result in bad output. Buyer beware! May God bless and keep you.

I had my HP All-In-One cartridges refilled, and began experiencing quality problems with my printing. My cartridges dried up much quicker. Finally, I spent significant time over a number of days getting my printer back up to par. Good news was that new cartridge prices came down. Staples sells reconditioned cartridges (same thing), and I might try these in the future. Now, I turn in my used cartridge for $3 credit on next purchase, and buy new taking the credit.

refills never artwork, and might bring about harm, additionally many of the extra moderen cartridges have a microchip that announces while they are empty, and no count in case you top off they'll nevertheless checklist empty. as for the shop style its hit or miss. i've got used Pitney Bowes branded cartridges and that they seem to have labored nice. I wager the Staple or place of work Max version would be very corresponding to boot until now you purchase a printer discover out how lots ink refills fee and how in lots of instances human beings ought to alter them. businesses like Lexmark seem to sell the main inexpensive printer in basic terms to overcharge on ink. HP seems to be respectable and that they even sell recycling.

According to your printer manufacturer it will totally wreck your printer if you don't buy and use THEIR ink. I threw caution to the wind and had total disregard for their warnings and bought cheap ink off the internet and guess what....my printer did not burst into flames. In fact, it printed just fine. It's a load of crap to get you to buy their products (in my opinion).
