What is the difference between an original and a compatible cartridge?

Troubleshooting
Printer not recognizing the ink cartridge
Ensure the cartridge is correctly seated. Remove and re-insert it firmly. Check that the protective tape has been fully removed. Clean the electrical contacts on both the cartridge and the printer with a dry, lint-free cloth if they appear dirty.
Poor print quality or faded blue color
Run a print head cleaning cycle through the printer's maintenance menu. If the issue persists, perform a nozzle check and consider a print head alignment. Ensure the correct ink type (pigment-based) is selected in the print driver settings.
Ink smudging on prints
Verify that the correct paper type is selected in the printer settings. Ensure prints have adequate drying time before handling. Check that the printer's print heads are not clogged, which can lead to excessive ink application.
