Conclusion

Customer reviews for 1ink show repeated reports of defective or incompatible cartridges and frequent disputes over refunds and return fees. Multiple reviewers cite underfilled or leaking cartridges, printers failing to recognize remanufactured items, and time-consuming support processes. A minority of customers reported helpful order-confirmation calls, but these are outnumbered by complaints about product quality and refund handling. Consumers considering 1ink should carefully review compatibility prompts, document printer supply status pages when returning cartridges, and read the company’s return and restocking-fee policies before purchase.
