Will the Ink Cartridges Leak in My Printer?

A small amount of ink may come out when first opening the cartridge. Please, carefully follow the instructions included to properly open the cartridge, reducing the chance of that initial leakage.

The ink cartridge will not leak in your printer unless it has been physically damaged and may already be leaking. If a ink cartridge arrives damaged, please contact us for a replacement. You can reach us by phone through our toll-free number, 833-465-6888.

How can I Tell how Many Pages a Printer Cartridge will Yield?

You can check the cartridge packaging or manufacturer's website for the page yield of a printer cartridge.

In our website, simply scroll down to Product Specifications and look for Page Yield.

Canon, Hewlett-Packard, and Kodak are among the major manufacturers who have backed a standard proposed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) for determining how many pages a single cartridge should print.

Before this standard became more popularized, manufacturers could choose their own measurement standards, meaning you could end up with a cartridge with a low page yield. Not all manufacturer's use this standard, so it's important to be aware of this when purchasing a cartridge while looking for a good value.

Our standard flat-rate shipping is $3.99. You are qualified for free shipping if your order amount is over $50.

CompAndSave does not accept empty cartridges for a credit. You can visit your local office-supply stores like Staples and Office Depot as they give credit in exchange for a qualifying empty cartridges that you turn in. Please bear in mind that these stores will only accept the original or OEM ones.

For recycling of compatible ink and toner cartridges in the USA, here are a few sites that we would recommend:

US Recycling buy back empty compatible and remanufactured cartridges.

Ink Recycling and Plant Green Recycle will accept most remanufactured ink cartridges. Unlike US Recycling, they will not buy them.

Milner recycles both ink and toner cartridges whether they are OEM, compatible or remanufactured.

There are two causes for your printer to get a low ink error when your cartridge is full:

Printer Memory

Your printer may not recognize your cartridge's correct ink level because it still contains the ink level of your previous ink cartridge.

The first thing you should try is pressing OK/Cancel/Dismiss/Stop/Resume/etc. on your printer to simply continue printing. You can also follow these steps.

Internal Cartridge Electrical Damage 

If you are still getting a low ink error after trying this, even after you've replaced your cartridge, there may be internal electrical damage to the cartridge. There is typically no error for this issue, so your printer will typically just indicate the ink is low.

However, if you already replaced your cartridge and tried a few basic troubleshooting steps, the cartridge may be defective. Check the cartridge for damage or missing parts. If you find any of these problems or even if you don't, you will want to return the new cartridge where you purchased it from and replace it with a new one. If you have purchased from us, please call 1-833-465-6888 or Live Chat.

If you are using a refill kit to refill your cartridges, it's important to note that you will, eventually, need to replace the cartridges, as they will wear over time causing the same ink refill error.

We have pigment-based ink available that when paired with waterproof printer paper, effectively becomes waterproof labels and documents. Pigment-based ink also has superior fade resistant feature of up to two years in an outdoors environment. 

Pigment-based ink is made of pigment particles that are suspended and not dissolved in its liquid solution. It enters the pores of printer paper and resists being washed off or degrade by UV light and other elements.

Waterproof printer paper works by having special plastic coatings and fiber that stays in shape and texture against outside elements.

Dye-based ink would not be able to last long under sunlight as the UV radiation outdoors will make ink fade faster. On a cold weather, it will expand as it freezes. This can crack ink cartridges due to the pressure caused by the ink expansion.

Certain cartridge models carry pigment-based ink which is a fade-resistant, waterproof printer ink. Please check your printer if its cartridges carry pigment-based ink. Don't forget to pair the ink with waterproof printer paper such as waterproof inkjet sticker papers.
