Below you will find our most frequently asked questions. If you have any additional questions or feedback, please do not hesitate to contact us.

• What is a compatible ink cartridge?
  A compatible ink or toner cartridge is a generic version of a name-brand cartridge. However, not all cartridges are made with the same quality. All Vivid Series cartridges pass a rigorous compliance test and are certified under the ISO 9001/14001 quality and environmental system. All Vivid Series branded cartridges include our Vivid Series lifetime satisfaction guarantee, a full 1-year warranty, and lifetime customer support.
• Does using compatible cartridges void my printer warranty?

  No.

  Do not worry, your printer warranty cannot be voided for using compatible products.

  Your rights and printer warranty are protected by the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act.

  MAGNUSON-MOSS WARRANTY IMPROVEMENT ACT

  United States Code Annotated

  Title 15 Commerce and Trade

  Chapter 50 Consumer Product Warranties

  Section 2302 (c)

• What is the difference between standard and XL cartridges?

  The difference in Standard and XL cartridges is primarily the page yield. XL cartridges will print more pages than a Standard cartridge. They are designed to fit the same printer models and can be interchanged at any time. XL cartridges are a bit more expensive than standard cartridges, however they are actually more cost-effective as the XL cartridge allows you to print almost double the amount with some models, making the average printing cost per page lower. If you print on a regular basis or want to save money in the long run, the XL cartridge will provide savings and also last you longer periods so you do not need to order ink as frequently. If you do not print very often then a standard cartridge will get the job done.

• How do I find the right cartridge for my printer?
  You can find the cartridge name/number on your old ink cartridge. Also, the owner's manual will have the cartridge type and number, which is usually found in the cartridge replacement or device maintenance sections of the owner's manual.
• Is your website secure?
  Our servers are PCI DSS 3.2 certified at Level 1, which protects against credit card data breaches.
