Free HP Customer Delivery Inspections ensure businesses use original supplies

At a time when it has become difficult even for vigilant business owners and entrepreneurs to determine whether the printing supplies they ordered from various online suppliers and traditional vendors are originals or fakes, HP endeavors to help its large and medium-sized customers by providing free, on-site examinations.

The HP Anti-counterfeit Customer Delivery Inspections aim to protect HP clients from using fake products that can pose serious threats to their business, produce poor printouts, damage printers beyond repair, stall print jobs, and interrupt office workflows, which can all incur additional costs for the HP client.

If they notice suspicious bids in tenders and suspect counterfeit products are included in the delivery of HP Printing Supplies, HP enterprise clients can request for delivery examinations at their convenience by filling out a customer delivery inspection request form and email it to the HP Anti-Counterfeiting and Fraud (ACF) Programme at customerinspections@hp.com

Upon verification of the suspicion, ACF product experts will conduct the inspection of large and medium-sized deliveries within the premises of the HP client. Only unopened and sealed boxes will be inspected.

If counterfeits are found, the inspector will ask for the name of the supplier and a copy of the proof of purchase. The customer will also be asked to refrain from buying from that supplier.

HP also recommends that the customer should neither send back any products to the supplier nor inform the supplier about the inspection before the Customer Delivery Inspection is conducted.

To ensure deliveries of Original HP Supplies every time, customers are advised to buy only from HP or its authorized HP resellers and distributors such as WSI. To order, please visit https://wordtext.com.ph/wesellit/

How counterfeit cartridges can damage your printer

Having a printer—whether a basic monochrome or a colored multi-function—is such a nice investment, especially if one considers how it has, so far, produced quality outputs that address the family’s needs or the demands of the small business.

But now, the proliferation of low-cost remanufactured, refilled, and even unbranded compatible ink cartridges in the online market, has tempted a lot of people into buying these genuine-looking alternatives, threatening to compromise the printer’s performance and changing the consumer experience.

A huge price to pay

Those who think that they can save on costs when they buy a counterfeit ink cartridge should reconsider their decision. The seemingly authentic-looking imitation products can seriously damage a printer and affect its reliability, which could mean huge repair and, at worst cases, replacement costs.

Consumers should also be wary of buying cartridges which are marketed as compatible versions of the original as they may not always fit properly into the slots in the printer.

Refilled cartridges, on the other hand, can have low-quality inks that can clog and damage the unit’s print head. This could lead to low-yield and substandard printouts, which in most instances, needs reprinting, contributing to additional ink and paper costs, especially for those who use the printer for work and livelihood.

For some brands, using ink cartridge replacement products other than those recommended by original equipment manufacturers, can void the printer warranty altogether.

It pays to buy original cartridges

While original ink cartridges can be more costly than counterfeit ones, they are more reliable to deliver quality outputs especially when used in printers they were originally designed to fit into.

Using original cartridges, such as HP Ink and Toner, can also ensure the durability and longer lifespan of printers, as well as their high-quality outputs, especially when printed on recommended paper.

With many online vendors offering replacement ink cartridges, the best way to protect oneself from buying a counterfeit one is to get it from reputable partner such as WSI which has long been an HP Supplies authorized distributor. To order, please visit https://wordtext.com.ph/wesellit/
