Counterfeiting is rapidly expanding and it has become common to see counterfeit printer ink cartridges in the market. Counterfeit products may seem like a bargain, but since they come without a guarantee, consumers often learn the hard way that their purchase can be not only risky but also expensive.

Counterfeit ink cartridges may cause problems such as:

  • Ink leaks
  • Blocked print heads
  • Erratic printer performance
  • A poor fit with the printer
  • Colour aberrations
  • Colour streaking.

In the worst case, the printer may be seriously damaged.

Use of genuine Canon accessories and consumables is recommended.
Please note that your Canon product warranty does not cover damage or defects caused by counterfeit products (i.e. fake products) or other non-genuine Canon products, such as accessories, spare parts, software or consumables. Canon may therefore refuse to repair damages or defects caused by the use of such counterfeit or non-genuine Canon products, although you may request such repairs on a chargeable basis.

For excellent print quality, we recommend using genuine Canon products.

Canon's policy for eliminating counterfeit products
To eliminate counterfeit products that may cause problems when in use, Canon identifies manufacturers and retailers of counterfeit products based on information obtained from government authorities, its own investigations and information provided by users.

Counterfeits infringe upon Canon's valuable intellectual properties, including registered trademarks, designs and patents. These infringements usually constitute criminal offences, and offenders can be subject to imprisonment and/or payment of fines. Offenders are also subject to payment for damages in civil proceedings.

Canon fights against counterfeiters to protect its intellectual property, as well as to safeguard customers from possible inconvenience, expense or injury. Canon works closely with police, customs and other relevant authorities all over the world.

It is Canon's commitment to make its every effort to get rid of counterfeits out of your sight.
