 Where there are goods and consumables in a market, there will always follow counterfeit products. This is especially true for electronics, where it’s easy to find and get cheaper yet substandard things without even trying.

Although for practical Filipinos, it may seem incredibly tempting to go for fake products because of their more affordable price, using counterfeit consumables actually puts your electronics at risk for some major damage—and an even greater cost on your pocket for repairing or replacing them.

This is especially true for your printer, as non-genuine inks and toners have become more common. Here are a few reasons why you shouldn’t turn to fake products:

1. Non-genuine ink can corrode ink tubes in your machine

The first major effect is that using non-genuine ink will corrode ink tubes in your printer. Simply put, non-genuine inks have different ingredients and chemicals as genuine inks, and they can damage the ink tubes, cause leakage, and affect printing quality.

2. Non-genuine toners damage printer machinery

Like non-genuine ink cartridges, counterfeit toners use grinded toner particles that end up wearing down your printer’s parts and damaging them—leading you to spend more in repairing it.

3. Counterfeit products void your printer’s warranty

The worst risk of using non-genuine products is that they automatically void your printer’s warranty. Not only will you have to spend on printer repairs, but you’ll likely have to spend more than you were expecting because your repairs are no longer covered by warranty.

Even if you weren’t intending to buy non-genuine products, you might accidentally buy a product that looks genuine. That’s why you should always buy from authorized dealers—for Brother printers, you should only use genuine Brother supplies and consumables, which you can get from Brother Authorized Dealers nationwide.

And if you’re in doubt about the ink or toner that you’ve purchased, you can check if it’s genuine through the Brother Authenticity Checker at http://bit.ly/BrotherAuthenticityCheck. If you get the Not Authentic message, you may report it to Brother’s helpdesk line at (02) 8581-9898 or email helpdesk@brother.com.ph or directly make a report at http://update.brother.co.jp/PBJ/id/ReportCounterfeit.aspx/

Influential business publication Forbes Magazine names Brother Industries, Ltd. as one of the “World’s Best Employers” in this year’s edition of the prestigious list released last October.

With a ranking of 130 among 750 multinationals and corporations from 45 countries, this achievement is the first in Brother’s storied history. The survey, which Forbes did with German market research firm Statista, was conducted from June to July this year.

A positive and employee-friendly company culture that places a premium on talent development, gender equality, social responsibility, and economic footprint, as well as the corporation’s deft response to the global COVID-19 pandemic are what landed Brother on the list.

“We are honored to be highlighted on Forbes’s ‘World’s Best Employers’ list this year, and it only goes to show that our success cannot be achieved without the valuable effort and contributions of our employees. It’s most important to all of us to make sure our people are well-taken care of,” said Brother Philippines President Glenn Hocson.
