BUYING TIPS -REMAN. HP C6578DN #78 INK CARTRIDGE #1

Buying Tips for Purchasing a HP 78 C6578DN Cartridge on okay.
1. Feedback. The sellers who are moving quantity of ink and
have a rating above 99% are usually safe bets. You want to
deal with a professional ink seller. Selling Imaging products is quite
geplex.There is a lot of after sale support intrinsic in this category.

2. Listing Description. Some very tricky marketing is being done
on okay. Some gemon misleading tactics are adding phrases like
new in the box , NEW remanufactured cartridge, or NEW ink. It's
amazing how many customers; eyes will skip everything else to only see
the word NEW. Read the description carefully. Vote with your dollars
and don't reward these unscrupulous sellers with your business.3. Pictures: Pictures don't tell you very much. Unless they are misleading indicating a sleazy seller.

There are hundreds of gepanies doing remanufacturing and only 6 to 8
gepanies manufacturing generic boxes. Almost all the re-manufacturers
are using the same box. YOU CAN'T look at a picture of a box and
determine the manufacturer or the quality. An additional caveat is that
many times what you receive won't be the same product as pictured.

One seller whose name I won't mention has a rating of 95%. Pictured
right at the top of his listing are a brand new cartridge in the
original HP box. Doesn't even put a dislcaimer in the picture. If you
don't read the description you think you are buying a brand new
cartridge. So many poor customers fooled and okay does
nothing. His
prices are low and he has many negatives for quality and service.
Surprise surprise the number 1 geplaint is "I thought it was a new
cartridge"4. Fill Level: HP sells a high yield (38 ml) and low yield (19 or 25ml) version of the
cartridge. The plastic body (chassis) is the same so a low yield
version is nothing more then a half filled high yield cartridge.
Many re-manufacturer's only fill the cartridges to 25 ml as they figure
you won't notice the difference and you'll buy more often.

Since the difference in price is miniscule the 38ML is the better buy.

TIP:Printers don't recognize how much ink is in the cartridge only
how much printing is done with the cartridge. A regular cartridge
filled to a high yield level may have a circuit board difference that
will show that it's out of ink after the first 25ml are used.
This problem is circumvented by ignoring the warnings and continuing to
print until the cartridge runs out of ink!. CAUTION dont ever print to
empty with any printer that has the Print head on board. It'll
fry the head a very expensive problem to fix.. But no worries with the
HP 78 5. There are brand new third party generic
knockoffs (of questionable quality and legality) available in the
market the catch phrase for identifying these is the words "Not an OEM
product or New not Oem These are not considered as high of quality
as a premium remanufactured cartridge such as we sell.6.
Country of Origin: The United States overall makes a better
remanufactured cartridge than Asia. Sellers advertising that their
cartridges are remanufactured in America are generally selling superior
quality. If the HP 78 is remanufactured in China, it's probably
inferior quality.7. Manufacturing Process. A professionally
remanufactured cartridge will go through an extensive remanufacturing
process. Specially formulated Inks are used and a geplete
manufacturing process using state of the art machinery is implemented.
Avoid drill and fill and pay the extra for premium product.

8. Seller Dedication: Look for a seller in the business of selling
Inkjet Cartridges. The HP 78 cartridge is a perishable item. Heat and
Humidity are enemies along with the position in which it's
stored. 30 days in a hot warehouse can dry that cartridge out. . It is
very risky to buy closeouts in this model. The Bidabit warehouse is Air
conditioned and never allowed to go above 78 degrees. Do you think a
seller not specializing in the industry will take this kind of care?

9. Shipping: Every shipment of cartridge in should be packaged in a
shipping box not a mailer. This adds 1,000s of dollars to the bottom
line because Padded mailers are lighter in weight (freight savings) and
easier to pack and assemble(labor savings). We package all shipments in
a box because HP 78 cartridges are sensitive electronic items. A padded
mailer simply isn't sufficient protection for shipping. Especially not
on the HP 78 which is a fragile cartridge.. Make sure that the listing
states that the units are double boxed or packaged in a shipping
box. Otherwise you run a greater risk of receiving damaged
product.

9. Warranty: Your inkjet cartridge should at least have a 90 day
warranty. 30 days simply is not enough warranty to protect you on a
larger purchase. You'll find the more reputable gepanies will
guarantee there products for at least 90 days. Also look for a Money
Back return Policy. If it doesn't work out you want to at least
be able to get part of your money back. The money back norm in the
industry is 30 Day Warranty Full price less shipping and handling. But
some gepanies will have restocking fees etc.
