How to identify an HP original cartridge

Colour shifting logo

This seal is placed across the perforated tear strip of the HP LaserJet cartridge pack and on the side of an inkjet cartridge pack . To ensure that the seal is not fake, hold the box and tilt the security label up and down and the colour shifting ink will change colour from green to blue.

  • Examine the packaging

    Genuine HP cartridges are only sold in original boxes, which should not be tampered with, re-sealed or re-taped. Look out for the HP logo on the box.

  • Check the price

    HP print cartridges have standardised prices. If you come across cartridges that are below market price, chances are they are counterfeit.

  • Watch out for print quality problems

    Fewer than 1 in 100 HP cartridges have quality problems. If you experience frequent print quality problems or if a cartridge fails often, then it is probably counterfeit.
