Defective printheads are covered by a manufacturer's 6 month (180 day) warranty. We can help you submit a defective printhead warranty claim, but keep in mind the warranty is between you and the manufacturer, not us. We are happy to help you with the warranty process though!

Printhead returns and exchanges are handled two ways after receiving a Return Authorization approval.
1.) The printhead is shipped back where it will be inspected. Once approved, a replacement printhead will be shipped out or a credit less restocking fee will apply.
2.) Instead of waiting through the inspection process for a replacement printhead, a new printhead would be ordered immediately and shipped out as a new order. (2 printheads paid for). The initial printhead is shipped back where it will then be inspected. If approved for acceptance, a credit will be issued back to the original printhead order less the restocking fee.
