TIPS To Consider…

Featured

Posted on August 22, 2022 by Rawan

In current times, we rarely hear about photo processing and spools, owing to advancing technology, better printing materials, and more efficient computer equipment. People are being prompted on a regular basis to begin printing images directly, at home or at their offices, as needed. Here are some of OUR picked out tips YOU should consider!

In general, glossy paper is ideal for photograph printing. However, gloss paper is substantially more costly. You may use several sorts of paper to assess your degree of pleasure if you desire.

When selecting a printer, inkjet is the best option for printing photographs as well as unique presentations. Although laser is substantially less expensive. Be as familiar as possible with all of your printer’s editing features. Various printers allow you to preview images before printing them. Similarly, anyone will be able to alter the photographs to achieve the desired impact and outcomes.

If you prefer to print from a pc, make sure to utilise picture-editing software to have an advantage in making high-quality photographs.

Keep your printer as clean as possible. One month of inactivity on your printer is not acceptable. Print at least once a week and clean the print head every month or two.

Do not expand the print size further than the pixels of your photo. The image should have a high enough resolution, which is 300 dpi or above if, you want it to be large. The dpi, or dots per inch, specifies how large a photograph may be. For example, if the image is 200 x 3400 pixels, split it by 200 or 300 dpi to achieve the optimal photo size.

Best Printers for Professional use

Featured

Posted on August 15, 2022 by Rawan

Owning a good quality photo printer is super important if you are working from home. Sometimes it can be difficult to organise your documents so owning paper copies can be helpful. Many printers are not necessarily for professional use, printers such as photo printers have a specific purpose such as printing photos. However, the printers listed below will be selected by us to use professionally.

Epson EXPRESSION PHOTO XP-970

The Epson Expression Photo XP-970, which uses 6-color Claria Photo HD inks, can print borderless photographs up to 11″ x 17″. However, printing prices are too expensive! As a result, it is best to obtain compatible Epson cartridges from a trusted vendor.

It is a little all-in-one picture printer with print, copy, and scan features that produces excellent colour fidelity, outstanding skin tones, and smooth gradations. With high-resolution scans, this printer can generate virtually identical colour copies. It can print a 4″ x 6″ picture in 11 seconds.

The XP-970 has a slower print speed when compared to other photo printers in its class; yet beating the XP-970 in other crucial features is difficult.

It is quite simple to use this consumer-grade picture printer with a 4.3″ touchscreen.

Canon PIXMA PRO-100

The Canon PIXMA PRO-100, with an 8-ink dye system, is one of the top picture printers in its class, offering great colour fidelity and a broad colour range.

The 8-ink cartridge system comes with three monochrome inks – black, grey, and light grey – for producing high-quality black and white photo prints that properly evoke memories of grayscale photography.

HP ENVY 5055

The HP Envy 5055 is a low-cost all-in-one picture printer that can print, copy, and scan. It has a 2.2″ mono touchscreen display.

This inkjet printer has borderless printing capabilities and can generate high-quality photographs. This printer is popular among professionals for producing 4″ x 6″ borderless pictures. The printer can print in a variety of sizes, including A4, envelopes, and 8″ x 10″.

The Envy 5055 can print from smartphones, tablets, and enables 2-sided printing.

High-yield cartridges are not required, although the printer is compatible with the HP Instant Ink programme. Remember that the cost-per-print with the HP Instant Ink subscription plan is rather expensive.

How to avoid security breaches

Featured

Posted on July 29, 2022 by Rawan

Every company has to be extra cautious in terms of security breaches, as it has become a norm for hackers in today’s society. Major damage can be done to computers and even printers by a simple installation of malicious hardware. As most printers today are multi-functional and have wireless capability, everyone often uses them. This can render them vulnerable to viruses and hacking. With wireless networks, allow users to send data meaning it is easier for hackers to meddle with. There is a chance that your printed files may still be stored into the print queue, exposing you to more security threats. If your printer is not secure than anyone who wants to breach the network and acquire your company’s information can do so. To avoid this from happening, you need to make sure that your internal Wi-Fi connections are safeguarded with security software.

Printers from HP

HP Enterprise printers include software that protects the device and detects assaults automatically. These printers can even ‘self-heal’ after being infected with a virus!

Printers from Samsung

To prevent unauthorised access to multifunction printers, Samsung printers have a Secure Login Manager. You may create an extra security barrier for picture files or other stored documents by configuring ID and passwords as well as PINs to access the system. Furthermore, a Confidential Print function accounts for the possibility of leaving printed documents unattended on the printer, where they might be picked up by anyone. Samsung printers keep submitted jobs until the intended receiver arrives. Only by entering a PIN code can the task be safely sent to the correct hands.

Printers manufactured by Xerox

To prevent unauthorised access from hackers, Xerox recommends McAfee software. The ConnectKey programme notifies you that the files on your printer have been tampered with.

It also has settings to lessen the need for manual software upgrades to deal with potential risks.

Cisco is another suggested software for Xerox printers. It provides secure external email connectivity that encrypts data flow between multifunction printers and externally hosted mail servers. This implies that while transmitting digital files, mail servers are safeguarded.

What is the difference in buying XL and standard cartridges?

Featured

Posted on July 18, 2022 by Rawan

Every cartridge manufacturer offers a wide range of cartridges to accommodate each printer. However, what is the difference in XL and standard sizing in terms of cartridges?

Many Ink cartridge manufacturers provide standard and XL cartridges. The difference between the two? The XL simply lasts longer, meaning you will not have to replace your cartridges so often. They both have different amounts of Ink in the cartridge. Buying an XL cartridge could amount to being cheaper in the end as you obtain greater value for money.

When compared to buying an XL, the advantages of utilising a standard cartridge are that you do not have to invest as much money upfront. Furthermore, if you do not print frequently, you may prefer the standard cartridge, as cartridges left in a printer for an extended period may dry out.

If you are ever unclear about the size or type of paper that you require for your printer than you can always check the printer model on our InknTonerUK website to discover which XL and standard cartridges your printer need or contact us!

HP Cartridges

HP ink cartridges change slightly based on the printer type. Always double-check the cartridges you are removing from the printer or look up the model on the internet.

HP cartridges include versions with both black and tri-colour cartridges, which require two cartridges. The difference between the XL and standard sizes is how much the cartridges are filled.

Other types of HP ink cartridges include standard, XL, and occasionally XXL or extra high yield. When an inkjet printer has four or more slots, it implies you are getting more for your money and simply need to change the cartridge colour when it runs out.

Epson Cartridges

Epson cartridges are available in standard and XL capacity, as well as single cartridges in black, cyan, magenta, and yellow. When utilising combination cartridges, you may wind up discarding the cartridges when one colour runs out. In most circumstances, double-check your printer model first. However, in general, the size will be the same and will fit in your printer. The only variation is the amount of ink used.

How often do you have to change your toner cartridge?

Featured

Posted on June 30, 2022 by Rawan

A toner cartridge filled with toner can print thousands of pages because laser printers can print thousands of copies of a single toner cartridge. As a result, laser printers have become extremely popular. Numerous families have bought laser printers too. The toner cartridge must then be prompted every time the printer is used. The printer’s toner cartridge is comprised of three components: the magnetic drum, the photosensitive drum, and the toner cartridge. Several laser printers are self-contained and can be replaced separately, but more of the three are embedded into one. However, the most common answers would be when your toner cartridge expires. When you run out of the toner cartridge and when you change printers. Nevertheless, how would you know if any of these happen and when should you actually change the toner?

Toner Cartridges - when should you change them?

Here are some tips to prepare you for any of these.

The Tips

The expiration dates are found on the side of printer cartridges or on the side of the cartridge boxes. For most printers, the first indication that you’re nearing the end of your toner cartridge will be a low toner warning on the printer’s exterior, either on a screen or an the printers LED light.

As for needing a new printer, this will come down to many different reasons.

What are the reasons?

Your cartridges may end up being too expensive. This can affect you in terms of prints depending on how many pages you usually print. Another reason could be your printer may not work anymore, or the print speed is too slow. It could even come down to the print quality being poor. All these factors can lead to one buying a new printer. To use your printer, it is recommended that you print every 2-3 weeks, however if you are trying to replace your printer than it is recommended that you replace it every two years. This all just depends on different factors such as technology upgrades, security protocols and wear-and-tear damage.

Your cartridges can also dry up if you are not using it properly. Make sure that if you do use your printer often, to keep your cartridges sealed and stored upright in a cool and dark space. When installing your cartridges, double check by running a print job at least once every couple of weeks to keep your cartridges in good condition.

How to spot fake Ink Cartridges!

Featured

Posted on June 24, 2022 by Rawan

Counterfeit ink cartridges are like counterfeit other fake items such as Jewellery, shoes, and even paintings. They are designed to look like the real thing—in this case, ink sold by well-known printer manufacturers such as HP, Canon, and Epson. At best, it is inferior to the real McCoy in terms of image quality. Worst-case scenario, it jams and leaks, causing damage to your printer.

Remember, Compatibles/Remanufactured products are NOT FAKE!

Do not confuse fake ink with off-brand or ink that is on offer, which is manufactured to specifications by honest companies and can be a viable, low-cost alternative to brand-name ink. Whereas discount ink manufacturers seek happy, long-term customers, counterfeiters seek quick profits.

Only buy ink from reputable retailers. Although anonymous online deals are appealing, what can you do if a seller you do not know sends you a counterfeit ink cartridge? Even though reputable retail stores are occasionally duped into selling counterfeits, you will have some right of appeal if the ink you receive turns out to be fake.

Assistance in identifying Fakes

For many years, printers have holographic seals or other seals to ensure the authenticity of the products they sell. If you adjust the box, try to look at how the security seal reacts. This should be as the manufacturer specifies. Many significant printer manufacturers, such as HP, provide assistance on their websites in identifying genuine packaging.

Original suppliers vs Fake suppliers

Original supplier goods are never smeared with ink on the outside of the cartridge or inside the package. There ought to be no black toner dust or cartridge damage. Original products have multiple pull-tab tape seals all over the ink ports.

Fake cartridges frequently leak, overfill, and print in improper colours or with distorted text. Keep a close eye on the output quality of your printer. If it appears to be a fake, especially right out of the box, contact the manufacturer.
