At InknTonerUK we are getting ready for Christmas (We really are! We have a snowman with a hat and everything!) and for the last few years we like to think we are very knowledgeable when it comes to what you can do with paper and a printer in this festive season, considering the rise of the DIY product trend. So, here we are bequeathing that wisdom to you, the customer. Here is a list of various printables that can get you started in the run up to Christmas – all DIY!

1. Gift boxes

Yes gift boxes, if you have any small gifts like jewelry, or maybe you need a place to stash those mini cholates in consider making a foldable Christmas themed gift box. They don’t cost much to make but at the same time it comes across as very thoughtful and gives that personal touch to gift giving!

2. Xmas Envelopes

Using those plain old white envelopes to put your card in really makes the card itself that much more underwhelming. Add some Xmas flair to it, really make it your own and see for yourself how much of a difference it makes to people’s faces.

3. Tags

Wrappers in themselves always look very good. They are supposed to look fun and exciting. So why not print out your own tags to not only personalise yourprezzies but to make your gift look that much more enticing!

4. Origami

If you really want to test your creativity how about using the origami technique to make flowers, hats, reindeer and much much more! This is a great activity so bring the whole family into it. Christmas day will seem that much better when the whole family has been a part of the preparation.

We hope we have helped you with more ideas this Christmas. From us at InknTonerUK have a great one!

It has been reported that the November update for Microsoft has affected the overall functionality of some Epson models. Users have mostly reported issues with the Epson LX-310, Epson FX890 and the Epson LQ680. A bug in the update is causing Epson SIDM and Dot matrix computers to be unable to print on x86 and x64-based systems. At InknTonerUK we understand that this may end up affecting some of our customers so we’d like to offer what we know on this issue and how you may want to go about resolving it.

Microsoft themselves have confirmed the issue but have yet to release a fix for it. The issue also isn’t caused by printer drivers, meaning installing different drivers for the Epson printers will not rectify the issue.

You will know if you have this error when your print jobs are terminated with the error message “Win32 error code returned by the processor. 2147500037”.

Microsoft and Epson have determined the cause of the issue and are working on a solution so if you want to be able to use your printer there is a solutions that can help, windows users and admins fix the issue on afflicted machines.

The first option is to go into your control panel and Uninstall the following updates. Be aware that they may have patched security issues on windows machines.

• KB4048955 for Windows 10 version 1709
• KB4048954 for Windows 10 Version 1703
• KB4048958 for Windows 8.1
• KB4048960 for Windows 7 SP1
• KB4048953 for Windows 10 Version 1607
• KB4048957 for Windows Server 2012 R2

Apart from that you may just end up having to wait until the next update rolls round to be able to use your printer again. If you have any other issues regarding inks or printers you have bought from us don’t hesitate to contact us on our website https://www.inkntoneruk.co.uk/ where we have a chat feature you can use to get in touch with us.

Here at InknTonerUK we are passionate about printers and inks. We are also very keen to help our customers keep up their printers longevity and to help avoid common problems. So in this blog we’ll give you a few tips to help you do just that.

1. A) Cleaning your printers interior

Keeping your printer clear of debris and excess paper and dust is important to keep your printer functioning the best that it can. To do this you should open up the printer, look for the excess and gently wipe it away from the interior. You could also use a can of compressed air to blow the dust from the printer. You need only do this once a month or so.

1. B) Keeping your printer in standby mode

Finally, turning your printer on and off at the mains can have a negative impact so keep it on standby mode to prevent cartridges from becoming dry and the print head becoming clogged.

If you follow these steps you will drastically extend the lifespan of your printer.

1. C) Keep the manual feed tray closed when not in use

Make sure when you aren’t using your printer, to keep the feed tray closed. This is to prevent you from knocking over the printer and any other breakages.

1. D) Replace cartridges before they dry up

Make sure not to wait until the print cartridge is completely dried up before replacing them as a completely dry ink cartridge can lead to wear and tear on your print head (if your printer has one that is separate to the cartridge that is!).

1. E) Take care when replacing a cartridge

Cartridges need to be replaced quite frequently, but you must be very careful when doing so. Pay careful attention to the instructions and avoid touching the bottom of the cartridge, as doing so can reduce the quality of the print, while also lowering your printers overall longevity.

Epson has announced that they would be expanding their operations globally, along with plans to increase their global revenue “by more than 50 percent” across the next seven years. A new industrial printer will be one of the main products releases they are eager to push into production over the next few years. Epson are very keen in wanting to capitalize of the interesting growth of this market.

The company itself has a very strong grasp over the manufacturing of 2D printers, with both laser and inkjet models having great success with consumers  as well as businesses. Their latest industrial model (the WF-C20590) can deliver printing speeds upwards of 100 pages per minute (ppm) and the company still plans to double this speed with their next iteration.

Five years prior, Epson’s president Usui initially stated that Epson would be heading towards the 3d printing market, but at that time the consumer market for these devices were too niche and wasn’t worth much investment. However the tables have turned, the technology has grown, and 3D printing is becoming a norm for a wide range of professional and industrial applications.

Other avenues Epson are looking to consider include robotics and smart wearables. The company plans to introduce smart glasses with an augmented reality display for commercial and industrial use in Southeast Asia in the fourth quarter. they have also recently acquired Orient watch as part of its high valued watch segment for sensor-based watches for healthcare, sport and fashion.

At InknTonerUK we have a wide range of Epson Printers and inks that are of high quality, as well as being great value for money.

Bonfire night is fast approaching and as you scramble around trying to buy those last minute fireworks, there are crucial things you must remind yourself about in order to keep accidents to a minimum. The main thing being the firework code. At Inkntoneruk we want to keep our customers safe so In this blog, we will go through 5 rules in this code that if followed, will make your night go off without a hitch.

1. Plan your firework display ahead of time to make it safe and enjoyable.

You must make sure that everything is properly organised before you start your display. For example you will need to make sure the location you will be lighting the fireworks is a wide open space where you are able to stand far enough back and when there wouldn’t be any flammable object nearby that could pose a risk.

2. Keep fireworks in a box and use them one at a time.

Don’t take all the fireworks out of the boxes at once. If you light one sparks will come out and if there are exposed fireworks around they could ignite and cause a fire hazard. Keep the unused fireworks in their respective packaging and well away from when you will light them.

3. Keep naked flames, including cigarettes, away from fireworks

This may be the most obvious, but it’s extremely important to remember. Both of these things are very dangerous in this situation. And if you want to keep the risk of accidents low you must remember this.

4. When using sparklers, place them into a bucket of water when you have finished

Avoid any potential risks with the sparklers you use by placing them in water once you have finished with them. Even if they appear to be finished placing them on a surface could result in an accident.

5. Have Fun!

Yes you need to be super careful during bonfire night but it shouldn’t stop you from having fun! Get into the spirit of things by making posters and other decorations with your children or siblings. And at Inkntoneruk we can help you with all your printing needs during bonfire night. And whether you need ink or any other printing related services we have your back. So from us, have fun, stay safe and enjoy the festivities!

Here at Ink n Toner UK we are proud to say that KYOCERA are celebrating their 25^th anniversary, which marks the launch of its original environmentally friendly laser printer which they call it the ECOSYS range.

KYOCERA as a company already have a very strong background in electronics and when they launched ECOSYS back in 1992 they paved the way for more environmentally friendly solutions to laser printing. The original FS-1500 model (which the toner cartridges can be bought on our website www.inkntoneruk.co.uk) enabled an 85 per cent reduction in the waste of consumables over the printers lifetime. They are capable of printing out up to 7,000 pages (at a 5% page coverage), making for great longevity at a very good price.

You may be wondering where the most reliable KYOCERA ECOSYS toner supplier is. But with so many websites claiming they’re the cheapest it can seem like an impossible task.
