It might be fair enough for ink-related faults (however specious the underlying argument might be) but not for any other fault. Of course some people might keep a set of genuine cartridges after they had 'run out' especially for "warranty insurance" purposes and pop them back in before returning the printer for service. Cheers Billy 8-{) ;) Most printers have a reserve tank inside them where excess ink is stored (you can't access it, its just waste) however its easy enough to tell if the ink in that tank is genuine or not. There is nothing to lose either, if its contested (only happened once when I was there) they lose a printer on warranty. If its not they avoid a warranty. |

They'd have to be pretty game to try running that argument without a proper ink analysis to back it up . If it is one tank as you say, then it will be full of a murky looking liquid that won't look much different no matter what the ink source was . The colour would also vary according to the particular colour usage of the individual owner so no two 'used ink' tanks would necessarily look the same . I'd take them on over that one for sure, but I have always used reliable Canon inkjets so I've never really had any problems apart from a software fault some years ago that they couldn't fix so they gave me a new printer .

Also testing the ink is very easy now too, most of the big players put an identifyer in it and its just a matter of dipping a piece of treated paper and seeing what colour it goes. Like litmus. | DeSade (984) | ||
