Ensure your ink and toner are Original HP.
Counterfeit HP cartridges are predominantly
refilled or remanufactured print cartridges packed in unauthorized or fake
reproductions of HP packaging, which can cheat you out of your money and
provide you with performance that can't compare to genuine HP cartridges. At
HP, we are constantly striving to protect you from counterfeiters with new
security measures.
3 easy ways to spot the fakes
1. Scan the code
Step 1
Locate your HP security seal and open your QR
code scanner app. If you don't have a QR code scanner, you can use our HP
SureSupply app.
Step 2
Use your smartphone's camera to scan the QR code
on the cartridge's
security seal. After your scanner processes the QR code, you'll see a
validation screen from HP.

2. Inspect the security label
Look for these 3 tell-tale signs that your
cartridge may have been tampered with:
·
The lines in the pattern
do not match
·
The label is coloured
rather than transparent
·
The text changes on the
label to show 'seal is void'
Check the blue hologram copy to confirm that:
·
"OK" and
"√" move in opposite directions when tilting the box top to bottom.
·
"OK" and
"√" move in the same direction when tilting the box left to right.
3. Check online
To validate, visit hp.com/go/ok and
enter the serial number from the security label.
