Eid al-Adha 2018

Featured

It’s Tuesday the 21st of August and this year, it means that it is Eid! For Muslims across the globe, this means today marks the end of the month long fast of Ramadan and the start of a great feast that can last up to three whole days in some countries! Many Muslims also use this holiday period to attend communal prayers, listen to a khutba (sermon) and give out charity in the form of food. At InknTonerUK we want to make sure our customers have the best Eid possible. Therefore, we want to give you some suggestions as to what you food you can make/try during Eid.

Red Meat

Most Muslims will consume red meat in some capacity, usually lamb, goat or cow. The animal will be divided into three parts, with one part given to the poor, one shared out amongst relatives and the final third cooked and eaten by the family. The meat is often roasted, barbecued or cooked in a curry.

Maqluba

This traditional dish is popular in Middle Eastern countries. It consists of fried vegetables, meat (usually chicken, turkey or lamb) and rice cooked together in a pot. The mixture is then flipped upside down to serve as a large savoury cake.

Rice and Couscous

From chicken biryani with saffron and sultanas to apricot-spiked couscous, grain dishes are an essential part of an Eid al-Adha celebration and often served to accompany the stews, tagine and curries.

Bolani

In Afghanistan, Bolani is a popular food during Eid. It consists of flatbread stuffed with an array of fillings, from potatoes to green pepper, and is usually baked or fried to create a thin crust, before being served with yoghurt. Afghanistan Eid celebrations additionally tend to be quite child-focused, and the whole family can enjoy bolani.

You could also use the inks you buy from us to print out your own Eid related printables.

HP have released a new firmware update for their printers. This means that any cartridges manufactured before April last year may not be compatible with the HP Deskjet 2600 series, Deskjet ink advantage 2600, 5000, and 5200, HP Envy 5000 series, HP Officejet 5200  series printers made after may the 1st 2018, although the new cartridges will work with both old and new printers.

 hp compatible inkThis will also pose a risk of locking out any compatible cartridges we sell, as they will be in the “old” category.

If you want to continue, using your compatible cartridges for the above models is to make sure you do not accept the update when it appears on your printer another thing you can do is set your printer so it does not automatically load updates onto your printer. If you want to look at this in more detail, you can find our troubleshooting guide on our website.

HP’s guidance in finding out if cartridges are the updated model, or the old model with the same number, is to look for a line above the list of compatible printers on the side of the cartridge’s packaging, with the line signifying the updated cartridges.

You may want to check out the warranty end date printed on the cartridge itself against a list on HP’s website, to determine the status of the cartridge.
