If you have read any Xerox ink articles about Artisan ink, then you might be curious whether the use of this ink will void your printer warranty. There are many false reports on the internet that claim the usage of compatible products will void your warranty. According to many Xerox ink articles, this is not true. If a printer manufacturer tells you that your warranty is now void because you are using a compatible ink cartridge, then that manufacturer may be violating certain laws enforced by the United States Government.

The Magnusson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act does not allow for any OEM to void your warranty because of the use of compatible products. This has allowed for many consumers to keep their printer warranty. The only situation that could make your warranty void occurs whenever the compatible cartridge is directly responsible for the damage. Some ink cartridge suppliers will offer their own warranty or guarantee in order to assist you if this ever occurs.

So how do Artisan Inks compare to the Xerox ColorStix? The color output in comparison is almost exactly the same. The same four colors are used as the Xerox brand, so there is no noticeable difference in color on any printed pages. Because Xerox has a patent on their design, most compatible cartridges will have a different design. These products have been proven to work, so do not be afraid of the different designs.

The page yield is also comparable to the Xerox inkjet cartridge. Depending on your printer model, you may have a page yield ranging from 1100 to 1400 pages per ink stick. If you print larger graphics, then your yield will be less, but for everyday printing, the page yield is comparable. As you can see, there are many similarities between the two different inkjet cartridges despite a different design.
