Once you install an ink cartridge, your printer will mark it as protected so that the cartridge can only be used with that printer because it is locked to it. Genuine ink cartridges may come equipped with cartridge protection embedded in their chip.
Hewlett-Packard has introduced the “cartridge protection” system on its original ink cartridges to lock genuine inks to a specific printer so that you cannot use that cartridge with a different printer.Ĭustomers may want to use compatible ink cartridges or remanufactured ink cartridges in their HP printer instead of the original HP ink cartridges because they are much cheaper than HP’s original ones. HP has made it again its target to prevent consumers from choosing the type of cartridge they use in their printer by leaving them with no other choice than buying genuine HP cartridges.
