Inkjet Head Design

Monday, March 19th, 2012

There are two main design models of Inkjet Print Cartridge Heads, the fixed head and the disposable head. This article discusses the strengths and weaknesses of those two models.

The fixed head design sees the printer fitted with it’s own long life inbuilt print head which is designed to last the life of the printer and never need to be replaced or repaired. Known as a “gaither head” it follows the philosophy that a print head can last longer than the life of the ink in a cartridge and so why should it be replaced with it and bringing it’s cost to replacement ink cartridges. This philosophy drives the price of printer units up but printer cartridges down. Therefore the purchaser of a printer should evaluate the balancing act which should be resolved based on the volume of printing they will require from their printer and the expected life of the printer. As the head is fixed and permanent, more attention to details is applied to it’s design and it’s production, therefore the head will be more precious than a cheap disposable model and will require little or no calibration. The flip side of the argument is that if the head becomes damaged or broken then it is an expensive process to repair or replace the print head, in some cases it is not even possible to do this and so an entirely new printer would be required. Fixed head designs are available in printers designed for the home printer but are more commonly noted on high volume printers, the type used in industries such as publication. The consumer space printers utilising fixed heads are primarily Epson, HP and Canon.

The second design for printer heads is the disposable head which is not found as a fixed part in the print unit itself but is provided in each independent printer cartridge that is added to the printer. Each time the ink reservoir in a cartridge is emptied the print head will be disposed of with the cartridge and replaced with a new one. Naturally this balances the pros and cons of the fixed print head in that the cost of printer cartridges will be expensive when compared to fixed heads, however the purchase price of the printer until will reduce. Therefore the consumer should again consider the volume of printing and the number of replacement cartridges they forecast to use when deciding which model to select Also in contrast to the fixed design is that a damaged printer head is not a major problem as only the cartridge will require replacing and not the printer unit, obviously this comes at a significantly lower replacement cost. Disposable head technology is favoured by the major manufactures of printers and cartridges as the technology is too advanced for other manufactures of cheaper ink cartridges to comply with and it therefore forces “copy-cat” manufactures from the market place. Canon, as a manufacturer is a user of replacement ink heads which are designed to last the life of the printer, but they can be replaced should they be damaged or blocked with dry ink. Advantageously they can be replaced by the user with little fuss or technical ability required.

Ink Cartridges – Essential Information

Sunday, March 18th, 2012

An ink cartridge is a part of a printer that contains the ink, it is usually a removable part so that it can either be re-filled if it is to be re-used or can be replaced entirely by a new cartridge. Some more advanced cartridges will also contain the print head. An ink cartridge can contain different coloured inks within it contained within ink reservoirs, again there are different levels in advancement with the higher range of cartridges containing electronic tags and chips that communicate with the printer.

Common practice among printers is that they require two cartridges in order to function correctly. The first will contain black ink required for most standard printing for letters and other typed documents etc. The second contains three ink reservoirs that contain the three primary colours (red, yellow and blue). Utilising a mix of these reservoirs enables the printing of any colour. Within industrial sized printers the requirement on these reservoirs is significantly increased and so the primary colours may be in cartridges of their own which enables greater print speed and greater colour definition. To understand the cartridge make up of your printer you should simply be able to remove the front cover of the unit in the manner you would if changing the cartridges. It is also imperative to remember that each manufacturer and sometimes even each model of printer requires it’s own specific cartridges.

Some manufactures cartridges can be on the expensive side and so there are several vendors that produce compatible substitutes that are marketed as cheaper alternatives. Whether or not these substitutes contain more or less ink levels, print at the same or a lesser quality will depend on the individual manufacturer and thus it can be seen as a risk to purchase compatible substitutes. Mainly it is unknown what the manufactures ability is to duplicate the ink formation and properties of the original cartridge in all required respects. Although compatible substitute cartridges are designed to fix to the printer there are many reported cases where a slight design or production failure has made them of varying size and have caused damage to the printer. For this reason the use of compatible substitutes can leave the printer void of it’s sale warranty (dependent on the country of purchase legislation). For this reason we do not advise the purchase of compatible substitute ink cartridges and recommend staying with the printer’s own brand.

Some print cartridges also contain the print head such as cartridges manufactured by HP, Dell and Lexmark. These cartridges are generally slightly more expensive because of the precision parts that the print head requires. The flip side of this situation is that the actually printer unit is cheaper as it does not contain the print head. Therefore on purchasing a printer the buyer should consider the volume of printing they will produce, higher volume printing is worth spending more on the print unit in order to enable access to cheaper print cartridges.

Many projects have been initiated at governmental level in order to ensure that print cartridges are recycled. In order to comply with these it is best that an independent recycler is sourced who for a nominal fee can dispose of your cartridges. Some manufactures now request that empty cartridges are returned to them where they can be re-filled and re-used.

Stay in the office or your home and be more productive; there’s no need to spend time you could be working on important projects running around town!

While you can use refillable ink cartridges (and many people do,) it’s in the best interest of your company to use reliable products that are meant to be used with your specific brand and model of printer. Many people have the misconception that by buying remanufactured and refillable components, they’re saving a bundle. The exact opposite is true in fact, because you end up refilling or replacing these items more often.

Online, you can find any brand or type of printer ink you need! Many merchants offer discount prices and even free shipping when your order meets a certain amount. This means that not only do you get your printer ink at a competitive price that likely meets or beats the price at your local office supply store, it gets delivered right to your door. No more fighting traffic, wasting gas, and lugging your supplies in when it’s pouring down rain outside.

What should you look for online when purchasing printer ink? Make sure that the merchant clearly lists the make and model of printer that the product is designed for. Today, compatible products allow you to save money while still getting top performance, so you can count on documents that are clear, crisp and professional in appearance. Many consumers are not aware that one single product may work in a variety of printer models, such as the Lexmark Color Ink Cartridge 12A1980, which is designed for use in the Lexmark 5700 Color Jetprinter, the 5770, 7000, 7200 and Lexmark Z11 and Z31.

Buying printer ink is one of those necessary tasks that must be done when you do a great deal of printing. Many times you can save money when you purchase these products in bulk, so why not stock up? This way, you will never be right in the middle of a large printing project when your printer decides to go on the blitz due to a shortage of ink. You’ll have printer ink available, so the matter of getting back to your project will just take seconds instead of hours!

Finding the right supplier isn’t always an easy task, however, we recommend you research out a wide variety of companies to provide you with the quality products that you are in need of and once you find the right company you will be comfortable knowing that your printing supplies needs are meet.

Ink Cartridges: A Necessary Component For Printing High Quality Documents

Thursday, March 8th, 2012

Anyone who uses a copier or printer knows that ink cartridges are an essential component for professional quality documents. Today, there are literally hundreds to choose from, from OEM and compatible ink cartridges to those that are refillable. How to choose, and what is the best way to buy? Everyone wants to save money due to economic conditions, but sometimes you actually spend more than you save by trying to take the cheapest route possible.

While we’re not saying that having your ink cartridges refilled is always a bad thing, it can often end up costing you money. Most of the time, these products don’t last as long; they don’t produce near the quantity of clear, professional documents you get by using an OEM or compatible product. This essentially means that you end up replacing them on a more frequent basis, costing more money. You also may not get the superior quality documents you want for your business.

If you normally shop for your ink cartridges at your local office supply store, you may want to reconsider this. Consider the time you spend away from the office when you could be doing more productive things; also consider the gas you use, and the traffic you may encounter. It often makes more sense to shop online, where you can compare prices and often receive free shipping. You save gas, you save time, and you can shop from the convenience of your desk, and have your order shipped directly to your home or office.

Whether you are shopping for Brother, Canon, Epson, Gestetner, Hewlett Packard or any other brand ink cartridges, you can find them online at discount prices. The great thing about purchasing your needs online is that you can do it in just minutes, and you know you’re getting exactly the component you need when you shop a merchant that lists manufacturer part numbers and which machines they are designed to be used in.

All you have to do to shop for your ink cartridges online is to find a reliable merchant, create an account, and start shopping! Your ordering information is secure, and you simply choose the products you want, place them in your shopping cart, and proceed to check out. At this point, all you have to do is sit back and relax; your ink cartridges and other supplies will be delivered to your home or office quickly, and you can avoid all of the hassles.

Wouldn’t you love to save your valuable time and gas, and shop from the convenience of your own home or office? Never have to go out in inclement weather, and avoid getting caught up in traffic. Get only the best ink cartridge units and other supplies online, and save money with free shipping! It’s a deal that can’t be beat. Another benefit that many people love – your order is delivered right to your door, so all you have to do is stock the supply closet! Don’t hesitate any longer to find the right vendor to help you with your toner and ink supply needs.

Are Compatible Ink Toners and Cartridges Worth It?

Wednesday, March 7th, 2012

Let’s start with a question. Why did compatible cartridges come into being in the first place?

The simple answer is that customers didn’t want to pay the relatively high prices for manufacturer cartridges and wanted a cheaper alternative. This created opportunities for new markets to emerge for those of us who were looking for more cost effective ways to do our printing.

Originally, the only way to save money on inkjet cartridges was to refill them yourself – messy and time consuming this practise actually helped the manufacturers to sell more; people got sick of inserting a syringe into a
cartridge to hope everything would be OK and work properly – much of the time it didn’t.

Then remanufacturing companies started up, providing a cheaper alternative to the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) cartridges. With savings from 20% – 60% over the originals they were bound to set the market alight – and they did.

So the benefit to you is to save money.

To protect themselves and their highly profitable product lines the OEMs had several weapons available:

* Initially, they specified that using any other ink than their own in a printer would invalidate the guarantee. However, this became an issue about monopolies and competition; so now in the USA and UK it is now illegal for manufacturers to force customers to buy only certain types of supplies. So, in short you can use compatible consumables in your printer.

* What about the argument that compatibles can damage your printer, especially if they leak. In fact this scare story has been one of main reasons why people have steered away from compats, whereas in reality this is highly unlikely and a rare occurrence. In fact most damage happens because of neglect from long term use where the printer hasn’t been cleaned and where debris has built up leading to printer problems. There’s no evidence for this and many high quality compatibles are just as reliable as the originals.

* Investment in ink technology. This is one area where the big boys will always win. They have the resources and budgets to invest in new types of ink that improve the vibrancy of the ink on the paper, produce better true to life colours; are fade resistant and will basically last for years and years.

OK, then what different types of cartridge can I choose from?

There are basically three main types of compatible toners and cartridges:

Compatibles – in many cases these are brand new cases with new parts manufactured by third party companies, and closely match those of the OEM version, yet with 15%-40% saving in cost.

Remanufactured – these are existing cartridges that are taken apart, cleaned, repaired, refilled then sealed. They are quality controlled to ensure quality and compare favourably with the OEM cartridges.

Refilled – some companies will simply do what’s know as ‘drill and fill’. They drill a hole in the side of the cartridge, refill it with toner and then seal the hole. In these situations it is unlikely that the cartridge will be cleaned or any broken parts replaced, with the cores used multiple times. This is one reason why they are more prone to failing with potentially poor print results.

Not all compatibles are equal

Quality standards differ between companies with some having far higher failure rates than others. The key point here is to make sure you buy any compatibles from reputable sources so you know what you’re getting, both in terms of the actual ink and the casing itself. A case that has been refilled a dozen times is far more likely to break down than one that has only gone through the system twice.

In fact leading remanufacturers even operate under the same quality standards as the OEM versions – ISO9001; plus ISO14001 (recycling) and ISO19752 (quality testing) to ensure they have quantifiable guidelines to work within. Furthermore, the best compatible manufacturers will also guarantee their cartridges in case of failure.

What are the benefits of compatibles?

Saving money – that’s the real benefit. If you a lot of ink then saving 20%-60% means a lot of money in your pocket. We should also mention that it has less environmental impact but let’s face it, the latter really justifies the former rather than it being a real tangible benefit that’s at the forefront of someone’s mind.

Is it worth buying a compatible laser toner?

The jury’s out on which is best, because it all depends on your usage, so there’s no single definitive answer.

Some people argue that the printing results they get from compatibles are sub-standard to those from the OEM. And this is a justifiable argument (especially with full colour printing) because the OEMs spend millions in ink development to improve the adherence to the paper and all the other techie stuff that techies like to talk about.

That said it all depends on what you want. If you’re looking for the crispest printing whether it’s from your inkjet or laser or you want to print out photos to the highest quality possible then buy OEM.

If you want ink to put in your cheap inkjet or laser printer and just churn documents out as is, or for the kids to print everything out that they find on the web then go for the cost savings of compatibles.

Multifunction Printer – a Good Choice For Small Businesses

Saturday, March 3rd, 2012

If you own a small business or a home business, would you like to buy a printer, a photocopier, a scanner and a fax machine or one machine that can do all these jobs? The answer is clear, most people would pick a multifunction machine. A true all-in-one (AIO) machine prints, scans, copies and faxes with network capability. However, choosing a good AIO printer is not as easy as choosing a printer as you need to consider many functions at the same time. Here are some simple tips to help you make a good decision:

1) Is the AIO printer easy to install? Does it work with the operating system of your PC?

2) Can it print high quality documents at relatively high speed?

3) Does it have automatic document feeder (ADF) so you can copy / scan / fax pile of documents automatically?

4) How about the scanning speed and resolution? Can you scan books or bound documents on flatbed scanner?

5) Can the fax machine store incoming faxes in memory so you won’t lose a fax even when you are out of paper? Can it distinguish fax / voice calls and pick up the faxes automatically?

6) Does it provide duplex printing / scanning / copying so you won’t need to manually turn the pages for two sided printing?

7) Do you need an inkjet or laser printer? AIO inkjet printer can print excellent sharp images and photos but they are much slower than a laser printer. The cost per page of inkjet printers is also higher than that of laser printers so they are not good for high volume printing.

8) If you intend to use your machine in a network, do you need wireless or just wired connection?

For all-in-one inkjet printers, we recommend Canon PIXMA MX870 and Epson Artisan 810. Both are easy to install and set up, and are compatible with PC and Mac OS. Both provide duplex printing / scanning / copying which can help you to save paper. They also come with automatic document feeder and flatbed scanning. Both provide excellent print quality, producing exceptional photos and laser quality text. These two inkjet printers also use individual ink cartridges for different colors, so you only need to replace the cartridge that runs out of ink. Since they are also used as photo printers, you can print photos directly from memory cards and cameras. Auto photo fix is available to improve photo quality. Both machines work in wireless and wired network. Canon PIXMA MX870 is more affordable than Epson Artisan 810 but the latter has a more stylist design with much higher print speed for photos.

For all-in-one laser printers, Canon ImageClass MF4370DN is our pick. It is an affordable monochrome laser printer with compact design. Print quality is excellent with fast print speed. It also has automatic document feeder, duplex printing / scanning / copying and flatbed scanning. Scanning quality is excellent with good fax functionalities. One disadvantage is although it is network ready, it doesn’t provide wireless connectivity.

Undoubtedly, it takes a bit more time and research to find the right all-in-one machine for your business. However, considering the money and space you can save, it is still worth the extra effort to go for a multifunction printer.

How to Choose the Right Colour Printer For Your Business?

Wednesday, February 29th, 2012

Many modern printers, whether they use liquid ink or depend on a laser with a powdered toner cartridge, are capable of printing exceptional coloured documents. However, the cheaper coloured printers are more likely to serve home computer users that have basic needs and may print some coloured documents and images occasionally. Other more expensive models are made for business environments, such as graphics design studios and photography publishers.

Whatever business you’re in, if you’re considering investing in a colour printer, be sure to investigate the following first.

Focus on the Usability First

In large companies it is likely that multiple people in the business will likely use the colour printer to print what they need. If the printer is easy to use, you probably won’t need to tell them how it works to get a basic printing task done. Printers with good usability do not suffer from inconveniences like paper jams and other associated issues; so do some research regarding how efficient these printers are.

You can also judge their usability on what printing software the colour printer comes with. Finally, if you want all computers in the network to use the printer without depending on a single computer, get a device that has an Ethernet jack so you can connect it to the router or get a Wi-Fi printer for wireless access.

Know Information about the Ink and Toner

Coloured ink or toner cartridges are more expensive than their black counterparts. Their price differences can vary depending on the brand and type of printer. For instance, photo printers have more expensive consumables, but can print out better quality images. Also, survey your local area and see if you can get recycled ink or toner cartridges that are compatible with that particular model. If not, the Internet is often a good place for further investigation.

Compare Speed with Quality

Depending on the business, many coloured documents may need to be printed each day while others require higher quality output. Look for the specification that describes how many coloured pages can be printed per minute and ask for samples of the print quality if you are shopping in a local computer store. Some business colour printers print with reasonable speeds while yielding high-quality outputs. Some models may even feature duplex-printing to save you some time since you no longer need to flip the paper.

See the Unique Features of Similarly Priced Printers

You may run into several printers coming from different brands that have the same price tag and display an attractive set of features that your business can take advantage of. Compare these features getting both the advantages and disadvantages of each. Take a good look at the technologies being offered and other special features.

If your business cannot accept anything short of professional results, you should choose your colour printer carefully and do some online research on potential models. Reading reviews of these models may either convince you to finally get the printer or look around for something similarly priced. Printers can last several years so it is good to get something that your business can use whenever needed.

How to Replace Printer Toner Cartridges

Monday, February 27th, 2012

Laser printers are a good buy because they can last as long as a year and sometimes beyond depending on the model. Laser printers do not use ink cartridges like the inkjet printers, but the output looks as if a good inkjet printer was used to print the copy. In fact, the quality of these printers is usually better and the print doesn’t smudge since it is powder that is used.

You won’t be noticing any degrading of print quality until after a year when you see the text slightly fading even if economy settings aren’t used. This is a sign that your toner cartridge finally needs some replacing and it you might feel intimidated to do it if you have never had to do so before. Even if you know how to replace ink cartridges, toner cartridges require a bit more effort, but aren’t really that difficult to do in general.

Reading the Manual and/or Online Help

A good start is to read the manual or any online help file that comes with your printer software. Some manuals may be comprehensive in teaching you the process of replacing a printer toner cartridge step by step while others might use illustrations and diagrams to aid you. The process of replacing the printer toner cartridge is pretty much the same as other models, but there might be some variations to certain steps depending on where the toner cartridge is stored as well as the size of the toner cartridge. Online help files are also useful because some printer software may have a special wizard function that interactively guides you through the process of replacing a printer toner cartridge.

Taking the Toner Cartridge Out

Assuming that you already bought a suitable replacement, you won’t be able to install the new toner cartridge if the old cartridge is still inside. Taking the printer toner cartridge out may serve as a quick lesson on how to place the new one inside. Refer to the manual if you do not want to take any risks or slowly experiment with ways on how to remove the toner. Just be gentle when moving delicate parts like the toner even if it is empty so you won’t damage any components by accident. There are no laser printers that require you to forcibly yank the toner out of the cartridge.

The general process starts with you opening the cover so you can see the toner. Observe the toner to see if there are any clips that are holding the cartridge in place. If you are not sure what to do with these clips or hooks, consult the manual. Look around the toner for any marks that serve as guides on how you should hold the toner. Slowly detach these clips and be careful not to get any ink on your fingers.

Placing the new Toner In

If you carefully took note of what you did as you removed the old toner cartridge, you should already know how to place the new one in. As long as you are careful with the delicate moving parts and obstacles, you should have no problems in installing a new toner cartridge whenever needed.
