We go out of our way to completely satisfy every customer and we will never allow anyone to lose their money with us! However, a business relationship must be fair and contain minimized risk for both parties, especially when something goes wrong! We will happily repair or replace damaged or defective merchandise under the conditions stated below.

We warranty most inks, toners, drums, & printer supplies for 1-5 YEARS!
Our normal 3 Year Warranty covers all refurbished printers as follows: For the first 90 days failures are covered including shipping charges both ways according to our defective policy. After 90 days the overall warranty value is reduced by 3% per month (beginning on the 91st day) for the remaining 33 months and no shipping charges are included either way.

OVERRIDES and SUPERCEDES anything in this section!

We will happily repair or replace damaged or defective merchandise under the following conditions:

1. The item is covered under warranty, AND ISN'T EMPTY or worn out early from heavy media use (envelope/cardstock printing) or abused (such as label stuck in printer or on drum, etc.) On our Extra Maximum supply items such as toner cartridges we give a pro-rated credit if it is more than 1/2 empty and we pay all shipping for supply item replacements indefinitely. However we do not send advance replacements on any supply items unless damaged in shipping.

2. We fax or email you a prepaid shipping label to return the item and send your replacement immediately upon receipt and inspection in our warehouse. If you are down to your last cartridge, you may pay for one and we will send two, allowing you to use our prepaid label for the return after you receive fresh product. You still agree that if you keep our item past 2 weeks, we can bill your credit card and credit you when received in our warehouse.

3. We authorize your credit card or you send us a PayPal payment and we will ship one advanced replacement item immediately. Returns must be "in transit" within 7 days after your replacement is received. We cancel the payment immediately after the item is inspected in our warehouse.

4. You send the item to us your way and it is received and inspected in our warehouse.

5. If you mis-order, you are only responsible for the inexpensive return shipping using our discounted label. If you over-order or simply want to trade in supplies you no longer need, we give full credit on our items towards any other items we sell less shipping charges. Any buy back refunds issued 30 days after transaction date will be minus shipping and charged a 15% restocking and handling fee.

6. If there is ever a claim for printer damage caused by our product, we must be informed up front and initiate the service call. Claims for any repairs not pre-authorized by our owner or senior tech will be denied. The only way we will ever be responsible for our products is if you allow us to attempt to solve the problem first. (Not to worry, we've never had a printer actually damaged by our products ever!)

7. 110% Refund Guarantee will only be honored after one replacement of a problem item. Shipping damage and once-in-a-while defectives are inevitable in the imaging supplies business. We simply ask that you give us one chance to correct the problem and if we fail you twice we will give you 110% of your total purchase price including shipping charges!!

You NEVER have to worry about us not sending you a replacement item once the defective has been returned or you have made deposit for it - our reputation is at stake - and our future success with you depends on it! We want to keep you as a customer and obviously we couldn't do that if we were flaky. (You have recourse through credit card dispute, PayPal or Ebay's fraud systems, and SquareTrade, but we have nothing for recourse if our item is not returned.)

TEKTRONIX WARRANTY!
Failures of our Tektronix compatible products HAS NEVER HAPPENED!
We are very happy to be able to offer this line from one of the top compatible imaging suppliers in the world. We have personally used the Tektronix Phasers in the past and have seen the poor quality and problems associated with compatible ink sticks. Based on our past experience we would never sell compatible ink sticks for these printers until we found our present supplier.

After talking with our rep extensively and seeing this outstanding warranty, we were willing to offer these to our customers again with peace of mind. The last thing we ever want is to sell a product that does not perform at least as well as the OEM. When my rep said he has sold over 100,000 boxes of these inks each month with only one service call in over a year we are giving it another shot. Please Remove your OEM cartridges immediately upon receipt of the aftermarket product so you have something to go back to if you are not satisfied with these, OR if you have a technician coming over for some reason. They are TRAINED to tell you these don't work, and blame every single problem imaginable on these, even PAPER JAMS....LOL.

On ink sticks, remove all FULL blocks before installing the aftermarket, leave the partials. That way you can determine if there is going to be a problem, and you will notice it immediately. If you are not satisfied with the quality remove our product immediately and send it back for a refund. Don't take chances if you see something wrong, Tektronix printers are too expensive to repair, in most cases the cost of repair exceeds the value of the machine!

ALSO MEDIA (paper brand) is the Number 1 cause of issues with these machines. IF you are going to print with WAX you must be willing to experiment with different paper brands and pay the money for paper that is actually compatible with XEROX PHASER PRINTERS!!

In the event of a problem with a Tektronix Printer, there are some conditions which must apply:

The warranty is offered by the Manufacturer of the ink products, not printersmith.com or any of its subsidiaries. If there is a warranty claim, we will contact the manufacturer to set up a service call for you and they will take it from there. After the claim is set up, we ask you to communicate with them directly about the matter. If they determine the printer issue is not a result of their products, printersmith.com will not be liable beyond 110% of the cost of the product, but will still provide replacement or refund.

If your machine is worn out, or has never been serviced, you must be reasonable and fair with any warranty claims. If your machine has over 50,000 prints on it, you should expect that normal wear and tear can necessitate a variety of component replacements such as fusers, printheads, transfer assemblies, etc. Please do not always expect a free warranty replacement if you have never replaced the item that happens to fail when using our resold product. The certified technician will determine if the component has failed prematurely and his decision is final.

IF YOU FEEL that you are just getting the "cop out" from the tech, we will on a case-by-case basis take it from there to provide you warranty coverage directly. Again, it must be related to the ink sticks, paper jams, and memory failures, and other non-related causes won't be honored. Further you must agree exclusively to USE OUR PRODUCTS, if you are running our inks next to Media Sciences or some other brand, then we probably won't be able to help you. It is extremely important to use ALL THE SAME inks at the same time. Ours mix well with OEM Xerox Brand, but if your colors are off, adjust them and be patient until you are running all 4 colors of the aftermarket before your colors will balance out perfectly.

Best Value on the PLANET GUARANTEED!

3 YEAR Printer WARRANTY Breakdown: a $299 HP LaserJet 4 purchased 18 months ago would still have a warranty value of:

36 months - 18 mo. = 18 mo. remaining x 3% = 54%
54% of $299 = $161.46 warranty credit remaining

So at 18 months the fuser just died and our current selling price is $85 w/$8 shipping, the maximum warranty value is now $68.46 after the repair.

$161.46 - $93 (85+8) = $68.46

Now at 27 months the power supply goes out leaving you with a dead machine. Your remaining value after 27 months could have been:

$80.73 (9 x 3 = 27% of $299), but was
reduced to $68.46 by the previous repair.

So at 27 months you can still apply $68.46 towards the cost of the repair and pay shipping charges for parts or turn in the machine for a credit of $68.46 towards any website or store items we sell (minus shipping charges if you use our prepaid label.) In order to exercise a warranty option the item must be repaired at our facility, or authorized by us to be repaired elsewhere else and we will always provide the parts. If you repair it without consulting us first we may credit our actual COST of the parts only on a case by case basis.
OUR STANDARD SHOP RATE IS $69 for any printer plus parts please go to PrinterSmith.Com for more details.

We will never be liable for more than what you paid for your item excluding shipping charges nor any expenses associated with the use of our item, including but not limited to loss of production, etc... Your warranty does not cover electrical surges, lightning strikes, loss of profits, or any other common sense stuff.

5 Year Warranties • Lowest Cost GUARANTEED
