Frequently asked questions
What are counterfeit printing supplies?
Counterfeiting in the printing supplies business means the manufacturing, refilling or (“reman”) remanufacturing of a print cartridge with the intention to market it in a way that suggests it is an original brand name product. This usually involves putting a reman or refill or imitation cartridge into a box that closely resembles genuine HP packaging, which can deceive customers into paying a higher price for a fraudulent product.
What is fraud?
Fraud is an act of deceiving or misrepresenting by presenting an intentional perversion of the truth intended to induce a person to part with something of value, usually money. While fraud can occur without the presence of counterfeit products, counterfeiting itself is a form of fraud.
How can I help stop the spread of counterfeit printing supplies?
The easiest way is to report it even when you’re unsure it’s counterfeit product. For smaller orders, take photographs and then complete the online form detailing suspected counterfeit activities. For large shipments, use our Customer Delivery Inspection. Just ask your HP representative for this no-cost inspection to verify both product quality and authenticity.
