Return Policy

PLEASE READ THESE TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS PRIOR TO REQUESTING AN RMA# (RETURN MERCHANDISE AUTHORIZATION)

CARTRIDGE(S) WILL NOT FIT IN PRINTER
Please confirm that you have ordered and received the correct replacement cartridges(s) for your printer model. If you need help with this, please contact one of our customer service reps at customerservice@houseofinks.com. We will respond within 24 hours (not including weekends and holidays). If the cartridges are the correctg ones, please make sure that the protevtive clip (covered the contacts on the cartridge) has been removed prior to installing it into your printer.

POOR PRINT QUALITY
After installing the cartridge, run up to three (3) print head cleaning cycles (see your printer manual or help). This keeps the nozzles clean and ensures optimal print quality. To improve print quality, place the place the print head (bottom of cartridge) downward on a damp paper towel with for 3-5 seconds until you see a black or tri-color mark appear. (If not, please contact us for a replacement).

LOW INK/EMPTY
All of our cartridges are refilled to maximum capacity, but due to programming limitations we cannot reset them.

Dell/Lexmark/HP Printers: If you receive a "low ink" or "empty" error message, you can continue printing by selecting "Dismiss", "OK", or "Continue".
Canon Printers: If an onscreen message appears saying "Low Ink" or "Empty" please press/hold the "Stop/Reset" button (upside down triangle inside a circle) for 10 seconds.

NOT RECOGNIZED
Make sure that you have removed the tape that covers the cartridge print-head and electrical contacts (if one exists). With a pencil eraser, please firmly erase over the contact strip where the chip or the gold dots are. You may also use a lint free cloth or coffee filter to gently brush over the copper strip. Once you have done either method, re-install the cartridge and follow  the prompts that may appear. Lastly, if the cartridge still doesn't function, please turn off your printer and unplug it from the power source, wait 2 minutes, then plug in the printer and turn it on.
