Canon warns about counterfeit products
June 17, 2019
The OEM took to Social Media to educate on its genuine packaging details which can help to identify counterfeit products.
Canon explained how “to protect yourself from counterfeit toner”, giving details that counterfeit Canon toner and toner cartridges are found in many countries and regions.
The OEM added: “These products violate numerous federal and state laws, including copyright and trademark infringement. Counterfeit Canon toner and toner cartridges can create a risk of poor equipment performance, including low toner yield, inferior print quality and toner leakage.”
Canon described on the leaflet that all of its products are made to a high standard, even the small details on packaging. Canon and Canon genuine logos are clearly and sharply printed, logos are in black on all toner packaging.
According to Canon, counterfeit products can have subtle hints that they are not genuine, like if the Canon or Canon genuine logo on the toner product appears to be blurry, bleeding, or not properly aligned it may be a counterfeit product.
Canon also highlighted its Canon trustgram which can be found on Canon genuine Toner boxes to help provide security, authentication and protection against counterfeit products.
