Great product and service for years

I've been a Prink customer for many years. Their website is very clear and comprehensive, their delivery is swift, their cartridges are fine and their prices are excellent in comparison with other suppliers. Even better - their technical advice is free and accurate: I recently changed from one Epson printer to another and Prink assured me that my current cartridges would be suitable. An amusing aside: when I load my Prink cartridges, I get anxious messages generated by Epson - 'You're using non-standard cartridges - Are you sure about this? - Your printer may explode.' If you're the worrying kind, ignore them: Prink works fine. (And I made up the last message. . .)

Great customer service

Initially my printer would not accept the cartridges. I sent an email about it not believing for one minute they would reply within 4 hours as stated. But they did, and my second email was answered within 2 hours on a Sunday evening. How's that for service?
Quick fix and the ink is flowing.
If all companies responded as well, I probably wouldn't have high blood pressure!

Abuse + Leaked Personal Data + Faulty Products

I paid extra for express delivery (1-2 days) for printer cartridges, only to receive a notification that my order wouldn't arrive for 5 days.

I contacted Prink asking for a £0.95 delivery refund as a goodwill gesture for a first-time customer. Instead of a simple resolution, the Managing Director, Graham, sent me a rant filled with corporate jargon, denying false advertising, accepting zero responsibility, and refusing a refund.

To quote Graham, "the low-value products we sell" were completely matched by his low-value customer service. If delivery dates are merely rough estimates, that should be stated clearly at checkout rather than promising unrealistically fast shipping.

When I expressed my disappointment, Graham sent over 25 follow-up emails, belittling my concerns and showing total disregard for customer satisfaction. When I mentioned I would leave a negative review, he replied: "leaving a negative review will just make you look like the tw*t you are". Similar insults continued in our follow up emails, let it be known it was Graham who hurled the first insult. Doubtful he will post that in his "facts" below. Graham initially owned up to name calling but has since rescinded his reply. A true Coward

To make matters worse, Graham posted my private tracking information on a public forum. When I asked him to remove it due to privacy concerns under the UK Data Protection Act, he refused twice, claiming, "the real reason you want it removed is that it shows I'm right!" When reminded of Data protection laws and what he was doing was indeed, illegal, he added, "I will take my chances." A business owner should not breach customer privacy to settle a personal vendetta.

Although the package ultimately arrived on time, Graham’s hostility and blatant disregard for customer privacy ruined any goodwill to increase the review rating, he is a very unpleasant person. This experience led to a permanent 1-star review, a lost customer, and a formal complaint filed with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). In the end, I guess he got what he wanted? I strongly advise prospective buyers to shop elsewhere.

Ask yourself this, would I go through all this hassle for £0.95? Or have I been genuinely mistreated? I think we all know. I wonder if there is a minimum monetary value that is considered "extortion"? Graham cared more about his ego and £0.95 than a customer!

Let the record show that even though Prinks reply is in the third person, it's written by Graham, revised on the 5th or 6th revision. (Something he makes note as derogatory in his reply, but does it himself. Should speak to his unpleasant and hypocritic character!)

Potential Customer, we both know we all ignore the 5 stars and go straight to the 1 stars! Thanks for taking the time to read mine. Hopefully I have saved you time, money, hassle, and the misfortune of dealing with someone like Graham.

Update: The cartridges ended up not being compatible with my printer. The instructions said to install all the colours even though all I needed was Cyan. The black cartridge was noticed to be a little wet on the "pull" tab. Against my better judgement, I installed all of them and it leaked into my printer. What a nightmare experience this has been. I could contact Graham for a refund or support, but I would rather take the £7.95 loss than waste my time talking to an incompetent person in a lacking company.

Reply from Prink Ltd

The reviewers exaggerated, ever-changing version of events has reached the point where the facts are merely an inconvenient rumour. It’s changed so many times that calling it a ‘version of events’ is beginning to seem rather generous.
At the time of writing this response, virtually every claim made and figure quoted is either untrue or greatly exaggerated for effect.

We’ve already disproven his previously posted claims by publishing the Royal Mail tracking ID (VU569774511GB) for the order in question. The publicly accessible tracking record exposed the claims he made as lies and, at the time, allowed anyone to check the estimated time of delivery for themselves. He then withdrew those claims and posted cries that we had breached privacy regulations by publishing this.

Contrary to the suggestion that this somehow divulged personal information about the anonymous reviewer, the tracking information contains no such information. It simply provides the delivery history associated with the order and shows that it was dispatched and delivered on time using the actual service he chose and paid for, which happens to be different from the one he is currently claiming. I’ve kept the ID (VU569774511GB) published so that readers are able to verify this for themselves on the Royal Mail website, should they wish to do so.

Then came the inevitable and expected claim that the cartridges were faulty. No evidence has been provided, but it certainly adds another chapter to the ever-expanding story.

At this point, readers can make up their own minds about what sort of conduct is involved here. As for whether someone who repeatedly publishes false claims, demonstrably disproven by the evidence, deserves to be called a ‘tw*t’, I think I’ll leave that exercise in character assessment to the reader.

Finally, be sure to cross-reference the date this response was updated with the date his review was updated. That should make it fairly easy to spot the next instalment of his ever-changing story.

Excellent service from Prink

I had an issue with using Prink ink in my Epson printer which was my own fault. I contacted Prink who quickly advised me how to solve the problem. I will continue to use Prink for another decade rather than pay high Epson prices.

Excellent service

Throughout the years that I have dealt with Prink I have had no reason to be anything but pleased with their service. I am not a frequent customer and my orders are not large but their service has always been first rate.
They consistently pay attention to detail.
In their correspondence they have always been prompt, courteous, balanced and, having actually read the whole e-mail, given a full and unbiased reply.

I’ve been using this supplier for 15+…

I’ve been using this supplier for 15+ years without any problems whatsoever, they sell excellent cartridges that have always worked well for me. Last week I had a problem with my printer rejecting the cartridges. I emailed Prink and within 2 hours they responded and advised me how to get my printer up and running and in no time at all my printer was back working as normal with Prink Cartridges. Prink are a top ink cartridge supplier and willing to help when necessary.

Problem solved. Buy with confidence

I bought for the first time (and this will be the last), from the Prink.co.uk site, a pack of ink cartridges for my Epson XP-215 model printer. The price was reasonable, but the behavior of the company representative was a little less so. The printer uses four types of color: black, yellow, cyan, and magenta. When changing all the cartridges, the black and yellow entered the cartridge holder easily but the cyan and magenta did not. Not understanding the reason and inspecting the two cartridges I noticed that there was a protrusion on the back side, which is absent in the black and yellow. This makes it impossible for them to enter the cartridge holder. When contacting the company, the representative categorically ruled out that it was their product's fault, so the fault is solely mine for not being able to let it in. So, he advised me to get help from someone else. Do you understand? Thanks for the advice...I have been changing ink cartridges for at least 30 years and in all these years all the ink cartridges, from various other companies, have easily entered the cartridge holder and only now with their product...You draw your own conclusions.

An update:
After reading and rereading the company's instructions and finally receiving an unexpected phone call from the company in question, I wanted to try one last time, inserting the two cartridges into the ink holder. I had to change my mind because, even with unprecedented force, the two ink cartridges went in. At this point, all I can say is, sorry, and give it five stars. The printer recognized all four cartridges and this one works perfectly. Buy from them with confidence.

I am disappointed that you chose to leave a negative review without first following the installation advice I provided.

You are, of course, entitled to leave any review you wish. However, I cannot agree with a review that suggests the cartridge is incompatible when my recommended fitting instructions have not been followed.

I have spent over 25 years building this business and take customer concerns seriously. In this case, however, I stand by my advice. We have sold this cartridge for more than seven years and it is the correct model for your printer. It does not require forcing into place when installed correctly. As explained, firm downward pressure should be applied only to the area marked "Push".

I am so confident that these cartridges are correct that if you follow my instructions and still cannot get the cartridges to fit then I am prepared to arrange for a technician to visit your home and install them for you. If the cartridges fit and function as expected, I would simply ask that you amend your review to reflect the outcome.

I remain willing to assist if you would like to revisit the issue and follow the fitting instructions provided.

Response to update:
I'm pleased to hear that your machine is back up and running again.
Thank you for taking the time and effort to follow my suggestions and to update your review.

Ink cartridges ruined my printer

When I put ink cartridges into printer, printer instantly came up with fault code, and ruined my printer, no compensation and was told I could get an independent engineer report which would cost more than the printer to replace, avoid cheap replacement cartridges from this company. Was told to send back at own cost, and told my printer was not worth anything anyway, even though it was old it worked perfectly. So explanation, The cartridges shorted your printhead due to catastrophic electrical and thermal overloading caused by a major engineering failure in the third-party chips.
BEWARE
Why would I waste my time and postage costs , dealing with a company that clearly don’t want to help, and have the audacity to say a paying customer has the brass neck to complain.
Spend your money else where on a company that cares.

UPDATE TO ORIGINAL REPLY:

It is highly unreasonable to expect a supplier of a £10 consumable product to effectively provide an extended warranty for a decade-old printer and to fund investigations into faults affecting it. No company would provide an extended warranty for such a machine, not even Canon themselves. However, we are so confident that our cartridges did not cause this unrelated error code on a printer that is 9 years out of its warranty period that we are prepared to contribute 50% up front towards the cost of an inspection by a suitably qualified independent technician, chosen by mutual agreement and whose findings will be accepted by both parties.

If the inspection concludes that our cartridges directly caused the fault, we will refund the cartridges, pay the remaining 50% of the inspection cost, and compensate the customer for the fair market value of the printer immediately prior to the failure.

If, however, the inspection concludes that the fault was most likely caused by printhead failure, age-related wear, contamination, maintenance issues or any other cause unrelated to our cartridges, we would expect the customer to reimburse our contribution to the inspection cost and amend this review to reflect the independent findings.

We have already passed this offer on to the customer. However, as expected, we have received no response, which further reinforces our position.

This offer remains open should the customer wish to replace speculation with objective technical evidence.

ORIGINAL REPLY:

We care very much about our customers, which is why we assess every claim on its merits. However, we cannot accept liability for an unrelated fault in a printer that is 9 years out of warranty simply because our cartridges were installed when the fault occurred.

The error code (1403) relates to printhead recognition issues, not cartridge faults. The printhead is a separate, replaceable component of the printer with a finite lifespan and is entirely independent of the cartridges supplied.

It appears the buyer has Googled for a possible cause and copied/pasted the answer that suited his agenda. A more plausible explanation is that a 10-year build-up of paper dust, fluff, ink and other debris around the printhead contacts was disturbed during cartridge installation, resulting in a short circuit affecting the printhead and potentially the cartridge chips as well.

The only way to determine the precise cause of the fault would be through an independent engineer's inspection. However, we are not prepared to fund this for a printer that is over 10 years old (9 years out of warranty) and worth less than the £10 cartridges purchased. Given the age of the machine, the possibility of an unrelated failure occurring at any time cannot reasonably be discounted.

No evidence has been provided that the cartridges were defective or caused any damage. No engineer's report, manufacturer diagnosis or technical assessment has been supplied—only the customer's assumption.

In the absence of any technical evidence, these allegations remain speculation. We cannot accept liability for the failure of a component in an ageing, obsolete printer based solely on coincidence and assumption, and I am amazed that this buyer has the brass neck to expect us to do so.

It is unreasonable to expect a supplier of a £10 consumable product to effectively provide an extended warranty for a decade-old printer and to fund investigations into faults affecting it. No company would provide an extended warranty for such a machine, not even Canon themselves.

A good week before this review was posted, we invited the customer to return the cartridges for testing and offered a full refund, including return postage, if a fault was identified. The cartridges have not been returned. Our offer to test the cartridges remains open.

We are sorry that the customer was dissatisfied with their experience, but this review does not fully reflect what occurred.

The order was dispatched on the day it was placed and delivered within the advertised 2–4 clear working day timeframe selected at checkout. Faster delivery options were available but were not chosen.

The customer subsequently contacted us claiming that two cyan cartridges had been supplied and that the yellow cartridge was missing. The photograph provided appeared to show two cartridges with labels that did not match the labelling of our LC1100 cartridges, and we therefore wrongly concluded that two of the cartridges shown had not originated from us.

Upon closer inspection, it became apparent that both parties had overlooked the fact that one of the cyan cartridges and the magenta cartridge shown in the photograph were actually our LC970 cartridges, which look very similar but use different label designs. Once this was identified, we immediately contacted the customer, apologised and arranged for the correct replacement items to be sent.

While we regret the initial misunderstanding, the matter was resolved as soon as the discrepancy was identified and replacement cartridges were dispatched without delay.

Why Go Elsewhere

I have been dealing with Prink for more than a decade and at least 3 printers.
I find their web site simple to follow and easy to use.
More importantly I find their choice of packages more than adequate, their service prompt, pacelling secure, and prices very reasonable.
Their back-up communications and offers are equally welcome.
I happily tell my friends about the firm and am happy to share these thoughts with the media.

This review was posted by an individual who left a one-star rating for a company after failing to win their prize draw, despite purchasing just a single ticket with odds of 1 in 15,000 so we encourage readers to view this reviewer’s public Trustpilot profile and previous reviews to gain context on their reviewing history and the background behind this feedback

We’re disappointed to read this review, as it omits some key points.

To investigate the issue, we made a very simple request for a single photo showing the cartridges installed alongside the printer error message — a routine and necessary step in diagnosing faults.

Despite the simplicity of this request and the reviewer claiming to have a degree in computer science, it took over 20 emails before the image was eventually provided. This understandably delayed any progress. During that time, the tone of communication we received was expletive ridden and at best unhelpful.

We are always happy to assist and resolve genuine issues efficiently. However, even the simplest of processes do rely on clear communication and timely cooperation.

The best place to buy printer cartridges

I have used Prink cartridges for many years. They carry a very wide range, even for older printers like mine. The cartridges are of the highest quality and they print photos very well with realistic colours. Compatible cartridges contain more ink than the very expensive ones supplied by printer companies and they are much cheaper.

They are an excellent company to deal with, they have a very good website - ordering is easy and delivery is consistently quick. Queries are answered rapidly too.
