Cartridge buyback · HP FI-1000

Sell your used HP FI-1000 cartridges

We buy used, empty and new original HP FI-1000 cartridges — 3UB09A, 3UB06A, 3UB07A and 3UB08A — and pay the courier from anywhere in the world. They come out of iJetColor 1175, Postmark RapidColor, TICAB TPS, Trimatt ColourStar, TrojanLabel T3-OPX, SMARTJET FLEX 297 and every other printer built on the FI-1000 engine. Send us the part numbers and quantities, get an offer for the batch, and get paid after we inspect the cartridges.

Tell us the part numbers, how many of each, and which country they are in. We reply with an offer for the batch — shipping is on us.

Cartridge numbers we buy

Four HP part numbers cover every FI-1000 printer — whatever brand is on the machine.

HP FI-1000 cartridges we buy back
HP part numberColourFill (HP datasheet)Also sold as
3UB09ABlack (K)≈ 505 mlPM-PHP024K

3UB07AMagenta (M)≈ 233 mlPM-PHP023M
3UB08AYellow (Y)≈ 225 mlPM-PHP022Y

What this means Look at the label on the cartridge, not the printer. If it says 3UB06A, 3UB07A, 3UB08A or 3UB09A — or a reseller code for the same cartridge — we buy it. Not sure? Send a photo of the label.

Printers these cartridges come from

The FI-1000 is an OEM engine sold under many badges — all of these take the same cartridge set.

What we accept

Original HP FI-1000 cartridges — used, empty or new.

What is included

  • Used and empty original HP cartridges 3UB06A, 3UB07A, 3UB08A, 3UB09A.
  • New, unused and sealed original HP FI-1000 cartridges.
  • The same original HP cartridges sold under a printer maker's own code, such as Postmark PM-PHP0xx.

What is not

  • Refilled cartridges.
  • Third-party compatible cartridges.

What this means Every batch is inspected on arrival, and payment follows the inspection — so list new and used cartridges separately and the offer matches what arrives.

Shipping — paid by us, from any country

You do not pay for transport. We cover shipping from anywhere in the world.

Europe, the USA, Australia or anywhere else — once you accept the offer for your batch, we arrange the courier from your address and pay for it. The only thing on your side is packing the cartridges.

How to pack used cartridges

Keep each cartridge upright and bag it individually so residual ink cannot leak onto the others. Pack them tight in a rigid carton with filler so they do not move, and put the list of part numbers and quantities inside the box.

How selling your cartridges works

  1. Send us the list

    Part numbers and how many of each — for example 12 × 3UB09A, 8 × 3UB06A. A photo of the batch helps. Tell us which country the cartridges are in.

  2. Get an offer

    We reply with a price for the batch. Nothing ships and nothing is owed until you agree to it.

  3. We arrange and pay the shipping

    Once the offer is agreed, we book the courier to collect from your address and pay for it. You only pack the cartridges.

  4. Inspection and payment

    When the batch arrives we check that every cartridge is an original HP FI-1000 cartridge matching the list, then pay you for the batch.

Tell us the part numbers, how many of each, and which country they are in. We reply with an offer for the batch — shipping is on us.

Cartridge buyback FAQ

Do you buy used HP FI-1000 cartridges?

Yes. We buy used, empty and new original HP FI-1000 cartridges — 3UB09A black, 3UB06A cyan, 3UB07A magenta and 3UB08A yellow — from any printer built on the FI-1000 engine, including iJetColor 1175, Postmark RapidColor and EnveJet, TICAB TPS, Trimatt ColourStar AQ, TrojanLabel T3-OPX and SMARTJET FLEX 297.

Who pays for shipping?

We do, from anywhere in the world. Once you accept the offer for your batch, we book the courier to collect from your address and cover the transport cost.

When do I get paid?

After the cartridges arrive and we inspect them. We check that each one is an original HP FI-1000 cartridge matching the agreed list, then pay for the batch.

Do you buy new or unused FI-1000 cartridges?

Yes — new, unused and sealed cartridges as well as used and empty ones. Tell us which are which in your list and the offer reflects it.

Do you buy refilled or compatible cartridges?

No. We buy original HP cartridges only. Refilled cartridges and third-party compatible cartridges are not accepted.

How much do you pay per cartridge?

It is quoted per batch, based on the part numbers and quantity. Send us the list and you get a concrete offer before anything is shipped.

What are the HP FI-1000 cartridge part numbers?

3UB06A cyan (about 237 ml), 3UB07A magenta (about 233 ml), 3UB08A yellow (about 225 ml) and 3UB09A black (about 505 ml), per HP's FI-1000 datasheet. Some printer makers resell the same cartridges under their own codes — Postmark, for example, uses PM-PHP023C, PM-PHP023M, PM-PHP022Y and PM-PHP024K.

My printer is not on the list. Do you still buy its cartridges?

If it takes the 3UB06A–3UB09A set, yes — the FI-1000 is sold under many badges and the name on the machine rarely says what is inside. Send us the part number printed on the cartridge label and we confirm.

Is there a minimum quantity?

Tell us what you have. We reply to every list, and the offer reflects the size of the batch.
