Canon printers are equipped with sophisticated print heads that
require the best inks to deliver the highest quality prints.
Inks which have the right viscosity, thermal stability and
gravity to prevent smudging and clogging. That is why Canon
invested much research into developing the optimal formulation.
Canon original inks are manufactured only in
Japan, under strict supervision and in clean rooms. As such, you
can be assured that Canon inks will deliver the most vibrant
colours and the sharpest text while keeping your Canon printer
in tip-top condition. When you purchase Canon ink cartridges,
you are also buying the Canon promise of consistency and
quality.
Third-party inks (also known as compatible inks) are inks by
other brands advertised for use with Canon printers.

|
While it may be
tempting to purchase such “compatible” inks because of
their lower prices, this may prove to be false economy
when you realise the downsides to such inks.
Compatible inks do
not share the benefits of our rigorous product
development and may consist of chemicals of dubious
quality. The environment in which the cartridges are
made is equally doubtful and so the inks may be
contaminated.
|
This may result in one or more of the
following:
|
|
Poor and/or inconsistent
print quality
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In turn, leaking ink cartridges would lead
to clogged or choked print heads and result in premature wearing
out or damage to the printer.
Constant repairs, downtime, printer problems
and costly repairs all translate into wasted time and money. So
when considering your costs of printing, take the above into
account.
Canon receives numerous reports about problems resulting from
the use of non-original Canon ink. These products not only
prevent you from attaining the full performance of your printer,
copier and fax machine, but can also lead to serious problems
that require repairs. Always use genuine Canon products.

Case
1: Ink leaks
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ink leaks can block
print heads making it impossible to print correctly and
causing excessive ink consumption.
|
|
|
|
Case
2: Poor fit with printer
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Non-original Canon ink and
toners may be made to inexact tolerances that in
some cases can prevent printing entirely by
preventing proper installation into the ink head or
preventing ink supply even if the ink tank can be
installed.
|
|
|
Canon often receives reports of
other problems as well, such as color aberrations
and color streaking. In many instances, these
products had caused print head blockage or other
problems that require repairs at a Canon service
center.

Case
3: Bad Drum Cleaning problem for Toner Cartridge
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As heat and pressure are applied
to fix the toner on the paper, the counterfeit toner
could not be fully melted and cleaned by the blade
causing appearance of lines on the printout pages
due to the residual toner.
