Why should you care?
Counterfeit cartridges may seem like a true alternative. However, they entail serious risks and threats.
Your printer
Counterfeit cartridges may cause damage to your HP LaserJet printer hardware – which can lead to downtimes of the whole company’s printing infrastructure and disruption of entire workflows.
Your Reputation
Manufacturing and distributing counterfeit items is illegal. So, buying fakes may bring you and your organisation into contact with shady businesses which may be operated by large-scale criminal syndicates.
Your Workspace
Counterfeit toner cartridges may alter the printing behaviour of your HP printer. When using Original HP toner cartridges, only then can HP printing systems3 perform within Blue Angel guidelines limits.
Our environment
Due to their often poor print quality and necessary re-prints, counterfeits are likely to waste valuable resources such as paper or energy. Also at the end of life, counterfeits are unlikely to be recycled.
