      3-year warranty on our own-brand cartridges
      We are proud of our own-brand cartridges, so we’ve made trying them a no-brainer. If within three years of purchase you have any problem whatsoever, we’ll happily offer either a replacement or a refund.
      Returning items is easy—it takes just a few minutes. But our return rate is very low, so you’ll be unlikely to need it.
      We are confident that no other own-brand cartridges are better than ours. They produce vibrant prints with accurate colour densities and dark blacks—and their page yields are as good as the genuines, if not better. Give them a try, and see why our customers love them.
      Our own-brand cartridges are incredibly reliable for three reasons:
      1. We are the UK’s biggest seller of own-brand cartridges, and we have invested a lot in optimising them.
      2. We are dedicated to quality. Every own-brand cartridge is performance-tested before it leaves the factory.
      3. We constantly monitor customer feedback, and quickly resolve any issues.
    • Printer protection guarantee
      Our cartridges won't damage your printer—guaranteed
      Some people worry that own-brand cartridges might damage their printers. We know from experience that ours don’t.
      To reassure you, we guarantee that we’ll repair or replace your printer—for free—in the unlikely event that it gets damaged by an own-brand cartridge. This is regardless of how old your printer is. We can afford to offer this because problems are almost unheard of.
      Some people whose printers are less than a year old worry that an own-brand cartridge might invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty. This isn’t true. By law, the manufacturers aren’t allowed to invalidate your warranty if you use own-brand cartridges. If something does go wrong, and our own-brand cartridges are to blame, we’ll take over the manufacturer’s warranty, offer you phone support and repair or replace your printer if needed.

      In summary, there’s zero risk in using our own-brand cartridges.

      This arrived promptly, unfortunately it was the wrong drum. Upon phoning them I was assured it was the correct drum for my printer but it did not fit no matter how I tried. At this point they gave me a full refund which arrived with out any trouble.

      By C J Campbell on

      We bought this compatible drum unit for our Brother printer. It was delivered and installed in place of the original which had been exhibiting signs of distress. Happily and almost as expected the printer is now functioning as well as previously. Price was good, delivery was swift and quality was acceptable.

      By Yukeroy on

      We had come to the point where a new printer was on the cards the print getting to the unexceptable stage.I checked on line to see how the printer worked and decided that it was the drum that was the problem. I chose the cartridge save replacement. because if my assessment was wrong we would not be wasting to much money.
      I could not be happyer problem sorted perfect print again so thanks for a great product.
