An unoriginal printer cartridge which includes refilled cartridges can result in problems like ink and toner leakage. This may translate into poor quality printouts or inconsistency in printing processes.

It is then the branded printer ink cartridge such as Canon ink cartridges that can save the ill-health of your printer and its premature death.

Let alone your printer, the premature replacement of non-standard ink cartridges can be unnecessarily expensive in the long run. The other problems like unscheduled downtime can altogether snowball into an overall loss in productivity and loss to your business, if you own a business or at least not a printing experience that you'd cherish.

Author: Brayan Russell
As long as we use printers in our homes and offices, printer ink cartridges would find a significant role in our lives. Printer ink cartridges help the printer to give shape and visibility to what we want to see in a document. Printers and printer ink cartridges have acquired a very significant role in both personal and commercial domain. Not just documents in A4 size sheets, but we can print cards, pamphlets, posters, logos, stickers and much more, only with efficient performance of printers and ink cartridges.

Amidst a wide range of printer systems that are found in the UK markets, the inkjet printers are most commonly used. Generally the inkjet printer is made up of plastic and it has chambers from where the ink is supplied. You can find HP ink cartridges and inkjet cartridges of other leading brands like Canon and Lexmark quite easily. Inkjet cartridges are found in two types – black ink cartridges and colour ink cartridges. The inkjet cartridges enjoy a lot of popularity due to their efficiency and user friendly features.

Do you know how to calculate the efficiency of your printer? The efficiency of a printer can be calculated on the basis of their ink usage. An efficient printer utilises ink from printer ink cartridges in the optimum possible manner. It prints maximum number of pages as long as there is ink in the printer ink cartridges.

Printers which exhaust ink cartridges sooner - are not of good quality. Although printer ink cartridges can be replaced or refilled easily, yet you want to get most out of your existing ink cartridge, won't you? A good way to get most out of printer ink cartridges is by taking printouts on a regular basis. This is particularly applicable for homes where you may not find the need to take print outs on a regular basis, unlike in offices.

So whether you are using HP ink cartridges or Canon or Lexmark, utilise your printer ink cartridges by choosing the right printers and good quality Printer ink cartridges.

MULTIFUNCTION PHOTOCOPIERS

Author: Alexis Svenn

In the busy office environment a photocopier has become a focal point of activity, a silent sentinel.

In a previous job I used to while away hours by a huge photocopier machine whilst it copied, printed and collated vast mountains of manuals. The photocopy room was conveniently situated quite close to the typing pool ( yes it was a few years ago) so I would get the chance to engage the ladies there in a little conversation too. I have fond memories of the room and its two looming photocopier mahines. Wow they have advanced since then.

In the intervening period I have remained much the same size whilst these Multifunctional Photocopier machines have decreased in dimensions whilst increasing immeasurably in terms of efficiency,economy and features. I have not heard them in action but I would guess that they dont chug and 'smoke' in the same way as they did before. These machines are even energy star compliant.

I got down to investigating the features of a Sharp ARM451N printer/ photocopier, amazing. As Newman Business Solutions say on their site :
"To get ahead in today’s ruthless business world, you need to work smarter - not harder."
Indeed this machine allows multifunctionality to the max, it includes no less than a 40Gigabyte harddrive ( you could store up to 15000 songs on that, err ), it has document storage and workflow document management allowing full network printing ( this is combined with a full auditing capability of up to 500 accounts).

Needless to say this machine scans, emails, copies, prints - all up to 1200dpi and working its way up to an impressive 45 sheets per minute.

You can see the Sharp Multifunction Photocopier at Newman Business Solutions. It even looks pretty attractive, well kind of.

BEWARE OF CHEAP PRINTERS WITH TINY INK CARTRIDGES

Author: Eli Fry
How much will a $50 dollar printer really cost you? If you factor in the cost of replacement ink cartridges, it could be a lot more.

If you walk down the printer isle these days, you'll probably see a few printers selling for about $50. You might see yourself , "Hey, what a great deal" -- but is it really?

Lexmark was first manufacturer marketing $50 printers. The printer was a loss-leader and the sales of replacement cartridges subsidized the low initial cost. The cost of 1 set of replacement cartridges exceeded the value of the machine itself.


Many people who never owned a printer before didn't realize Lexmark's strategy. They were so happy with the printer price that they never thought about the purchase of the printer cartridges themselves. As time went on Lexmark continued their tactics and also began to reduce the size of their ink cartridges. Their cartridges got smaller and smaller and required more frequent replacing.

Consider this:

One Lexmark 10N0016 OEM Black cartridge retails for about $30 and will yield 410 pages at 5% coverage

One Lexmark 10N0026 OEM Color cartridge retails for about $32.00 and will yield 275 pages at 5% coverage

It became common practice to buy Lexmark printer for $49 to get the 2 starter cartridges that come with it. After ink had been used up, sell the printer on eBay, or throw it away and buy another one. What a waste… HP is now following suit with the same strategy and is trying to flood the market at the same time.

Several new printers will enter the market in July 2006. Many of which are cheap to buy (starting at around $25.00), but can be expensive to operate. Many of these new cheap printers do not come with printer cables or both ink cartridges which entices users by lowering the initial price.

Over the course of a few years however, the low cost of the machine will be overshadowed by the large amount spent on replacement inkjet cartridges

The inkjet cartridges that most of the new HP printers use contain only 5 Milliliters of ink. In comparison, about 4 years ago the most common HP black cartridges contained 42 milliliters of ink. That's almost 8 times more printing at about 1/3rd the cost (per milliliter of ink).


Some of the people who owned older printers, feel they've been taken advantage of when they see how fast their new printer uses up the ink.

Almost nobody realizes the true cost of operating these printers until the first or second time they need replacement cartridges.

HP is now attempting to squeeze out the competitors by dominating shelf space with a multitude of printer models. Most machines have the same general qualities but the more they have on the shelf, the less room for competitors. Hewlett Packard hopes to captivate people with their brand-name and low initial cost.

Once the consumer commits to their printer, HP will have a continuous stream of replacement cartridge business for the lifespan of the machine. It's in the supplies where they make their money.


So the lesson here is this… It is critical that you investigate the price of replacement ink cartridges before you purchase a new printer. Comparison-shop both the printer and cartridges at the same time.

A short list of printers to avoid are printers using the HP 21 and HP 22 ink cartridges. (these contain only 5 milliliters of ink)

PSC 1410 Series, Officejet 4315, Deskjet F340, F380, HP Fax 1250, HP Deskjet 3910, Deskjet 3940 Series, Deskjet 3915, Deskjet 3930 Series

Printers Using HP 92 and HP 93 ink cartridges (5 milliliters of ink)

PSC 1510 Series, PSC 1507, Officejet 6310, Deskjet 5440 Series, Photosmart 7850, Deskjet 5440 Series

The only people that should buy these particular new HP printers, are those who print infrequently (less than 3 cartridges per year).

HP makes quality printers, however we recommend simply seeking out a model that does not use the #21 and #22 or #92 and #93 cartridges. Many more of these new HP printers will be released this month.

Another option is to look for a different manufacturer such as Canon, Epson or Brother. Their inkjet printers often get as good or better reviews from users.

Again, check the cost of replacement cartridges, page yield or milliliters of ink contained in the cartridge to be sure you are getting a good value in comparison.
