Ensure Reliable Printing: Protect Your Business from Counterfeit Consumables
Genuine Printronix products ensure quality, safety, and compliance.
Why Counterfeits are Dangerous
Counterfeiting is a crime. Fake products fund criminal networks and expose your business to legal risks. Printronix uses a mix of IP rights, including patents, trademarks, and design rights, to differentiate its products.
Poor Quality
Fading, smudged labels, and wasted materials that compromise professionalism.
Printer Damage
Clogged printheads, sensor errors, and premature hardware failures.
Health Hazards
Exposure to toxic inks causing respiratory and skin issues.
Financial Loss
Voided warranties, downtime, and higher replacement costs.
How to Spot Counterfeit Printronix Consumables

Check Holographic Security Label
- Genuine cartridge & spool ribbons include a holographic label
