Although the product comes from the UK and therefore a relatively long lead time of about 3 weeks time into account, nothing can be exposed to the product. I'll handle it well and will order due to the low price compared to discounters again over the Internet. On the packaging just in case there was nothing to complain about. Very environmentally conscious is the enclosure of a free return possibility of empty cartridges. I can only recommend an order. Order early enough! Posted 11 March 2012 by Friedhelm Seelig
