Is my card information secure?

Here at Stinkyink, all credit card details are passed through a system called Opayo (by Elavon), making your money more secure than if you were to use your card on the high street. We don’t store any of your credit card details to ensure your privacy and security.

How much does it cost to ship next-day delivery?

Upgrading to a next day service costs £2.99 incl. VAT, meaning your order will go out with Royal Mail's Tracked 24 service. For an extra 30p you can protect your order against incorrect delivery by requiring a signature.

Cartridges

What does Original or OEM stand for?

OEM stands for ‘Original Equipment Manufacturer,’ which means that they are made for a specific line of machines by the same producer as the machine itself. So a genuine HP ink means that ink was made by HP for a HP printer.

back to top

What is a compatible cartridge?

A compatible cartridge is a brand new cartridge made by a third party company. So a compatible HP ink is a cartridge made by someone other than HP, as a direct replacement for a genuine HP version. We quality test extensively and only sell the best compatibles available, giving you the best cartridges for your money.

back to top

What is a remanufactured or refilled cartridge?

‘Remanufactured’ and ‘Refilled’ are simply different names for the same thing. These are recycled cartridges that have been collected by a third party cleaned, refilled, and rigorously tested to ensure they meet the same high standards as they did when they were first produced.

A ‘compatible’ cartridge is one that is made entirely afresh, and has not been recycled, produced by a third party for a certain printer.

back to top

Can using compatible/remanufactured cartridges affect my warranty?

Not for 1 year. A manufacturer is legally required to give a 1-year guarantee on electrical products that cannot have anti-competitive terms in, so your 1-year warranty is completely safe.

If your printer is over a year old and in an optional extended warranty it can be affected, so we guarantee your printer performance. In the very unlikely event our product causes an issue with your printer we will replace it.

How many pages will my cartridges print?

This changes by printer and item, so you'll see clear expected page yields for everything on our website.

Has the Canon 540L replaced the Canon 5840XL?

Canon have now discontinued the PG-540XL black cartridge and this has now been replaced with the PG-540L. With the same dimensions as the 540XL, the new version will work the same but there is a difference in page yield as the 540L has less ml ink inside. It is likely that the PG-540L will be discontinued, just leaving the PG-540 but we currently stock both on our website. We do however still offer a remanufactured version of the PG-540XL that provides value for money and the same high page yield that the XL offered.
