For which printer brands are Rhinotek replacement cartridges available?
We support and offer guaranteed 100% compatible replacement cartridges for most major printer brands, including HP, Epson, Canon, Brother, Lexmark, IBM and Dell.

How can your cartridges be better than the original?
Top-quality materials and parts, a proven ISO 9001 manufacturing process and rigorous testing and verification procedures enable us to produce replacement cartridges that offer superior page yields and output quality. Need proof? Click to learn more about our Quality Assurance process and manufacturing process. But don't just take our word for it. In extensive third party testing by the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), Rhinotek cartridges not only outperformed the OEMs on page volume, our output was crisper, clearer and sharper.

Will Rhinotek cartridges void my printer warranty?
No. Rhinotek replacement cartridges offer 100% compatibility with OEM printers. If there ever is a problem, you're covered by our exclusive Printer Replacement Guarantee. No one in the cartridge or printer industry offers such protection.

How can you offer a Printer Replacement Guarantee?
Confidence in the quality of our parts and in a manufacturing process we've perfected over 20 years. If your printer becomes unusable as a result of a defective Rhinotek product, we will repair or replace the printer at our expense.

Why do printer manufacturers discourage the use of compatible cartridges?
Greed, perhaps? Maybe OEMs are hoping that you won't discover how Rhinotek costs up to 25% less for cartridges that are guaranteed to exceed their own quality and performance specifications.

Can printer manufacturers force me to buy their high-priced cartridges?
Not legally. Trying to do so will violate both the Sherman and Clayton Antitrust Act and the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and get them into hot water with the feds. Just as an automaker can't dictate which tires or gasoline you use with a new car, OEMs can't make you buy a specific brand of printer cartridge.

Why aren't all prices listed on your web site?
Actually, they are. Suggested retail pricing is available to all consumers who wish to shop directly on this site. For business accounts, all account holders have online access to complete product and pricing information via a secure log in. To establish an online business direct account, call your Account Executive at 800-695-RHINO (695-7446).

It's been said that some OEMs actually sell private customer data. What's Rhinotek's privacy policy?
You've helped make us the world's leading source for replacement cartridges, so we're not about to violate your trust. Therefore, we pledge not to sell or share personal information with any company or individual without your knowledge or consent as stated in our Privacy Policy.
