printer manufacturer to require you to use any particular brand of supplies. To
enforce a policy such as this is in direct violation of law. An OEM (Original

prove that other brands of supplies will damage the machine. The OEM can
recommend a specific printer supplier. However, they ca not enforce you to use
that particular product only.

that meet the same specification by OEM manufacturer. They only select ink
indigents that meet the standard requirements that are outlined by OEM to
maintain high standards of our inkjet cartridges. Most of the inks are
formulated and tested under strict laboratory conditions to ensure the highest
output quality at all times as compared with other OEM products.
