Are you buying counterfeits or originals HP cartridges?

The very idea that you might be buying counterfeit cartridges without knowing it can come as quite a shock. But we can’t ignore the facts. There were an estimated 20 million counterfeit cartridges, packaging and components seized over the past four years across the region.

HP has developed 4 easy ways for you to check for counterfeit cartridges to protect every customers:

1. Authenticate using your smartphone
2. Examine the security seal
3. Validate the serial number online
4. NEW: Examine the Tamper Evident Label




The new Tamper Evident Label on each flap of the HP Toner package is designed to protect you from counterfeits. 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’

For an additional check, the HP logos in the blue strip should always show:

 “OK” and “√” move in opposite directions when tilting the box front to

back

 “OK” and “√” move in the same direction when tilting the box left to

right
