Why do Advantage brand solid ink sticks look different to Xerox originals?
As the ink cools during the manufacturing process, tiny holes, or settling, sometimes occur in the blocks of ink – these in no way affect the performance of our ink. Our ink sticks are also shaped differently than Xerox due to design patents held by Xerox Corp. Why are Advantage yellow ink sticks different in color than Xerox originals? Try the “crayon test” to compare the ink colours. Take an Advantage ink stick and a Xerox ColorStix and rub each on a piece of paper. You’ll see that the two brands are almost identical in colour (including cyan, magenta, and yellow).
