  How to tell if you have purchased a genuine HP print cartridge?

Do you see the new colour shifting HP security seal?
To make sure that you are getting a genuine HP cartridge, look out for the new colour shifting HP security seal. This seal is placed across the perforated tear strip of the HP LaserJet cartridge pack and on the side of an inkjet cartridge pack.
Check for the genuine HP print cartridge security seal
- Locate the HP security label affixed to the box of your toner or ink purchase.
- Turn the box side to side and see the colours switch between dark and light.
- When the background is dark, half of the lettering "ORIGINAL TONER" or "ORIGINAL INK" will be light   and vice versa.
Existing security seal still in use
Some Original HP print cartridge packaging are still carrying the previous colour shifting security seals. These print cartridges are genuine HP products and should not be mistaken as fakes.
To check if the seal is genuine, turn the box from side to side, the two shades of blue should switch places.
All eligible original HP print cartridges will carry the HP Original Rewards eCoupon sticker. Peel the sticker to unravel your eCoupon number. Register your eCoupon numbers to accumulate points to redeem gifts from the rewards catalogue.
