Home Printer of 2013

Home Printer of 2013 Award goes to…

Canon Pixma iP7250 Inkjet Printer (buy the ink cartridges here)

Inkntoneruk has decided to award the printer of the year for 2013 title for home users to Canon Pixma iP7250 printer. Coincidently, the device is available to purchase at Inkntoneruk retail shop for only £49.99.

So, how do you determine the best home printer of the year? With millions of printers to choose from, this will always be a debatable subject. However, by narrowing down the search criteria, we were able to discover that the Canon Pixma device is ideal for students and home users to print, scan and share their work with the world.

Such a prestigious title obviously cannot be given to every single machine, so why did we choose Pixma iP7250?

Well, first of all, it’s the actual price of the device that catches the attention and in most cases for printer consumers, that is what determines whether they by the printer or not.

Fifty quid, for a piece of machinery, that 50 years ago was beyond most peoples imagination – is more than a fair price in my opinion.

The second reason why we have nominated the Canon iP7250 printer, is the iP7250 ink cartridges. Designed to be compact, the smooth iP7250 offers great ink tank compatibility. With single cartridge replacement you are able to replace each of 5 ink cartridges separately. It means that the energy star device will save you ink too, due to the fact that the user requires to replace only the inks that are empty.

The cartridges come in standard and high capacity and in black, cyan, magenta yellow, and pigment black colours for super sharp photos and documents.

Compatible Canon ip7250 Pixma Ink Cartridges

If you are keen on saving some serious money my recommendations are to go for the compatible Canon iP7250 inkjet cartridges. Have a look at Canon iP7250 ink prices below.

The genuine/original ink cartridge multi pack costs £61.69 which is cheap, considering what you are getting for your money but the compatibles cost only £24.99!!! That is less than £5 per cartridge which produces approximately up to 500 pages per cartridge, giving you an outstanding value for money at 1 penny per page.

Specifications and Features

Supported by Mac and Windows operating systems the iP7250 Canon printer weighing 9 kg has some brilliant features on offer. Featuring wireless printing, 5 single inks, auto duplex, direct disk print, my image gallery and full HD movie print. The iP7250 from Canon shoots out images like a cannon at the speed of 15 ipm for black and 10 ipm for colour.

All in all, the all in one device is simply a winner. 2013 has its winner.

How to Replace Ink Cartridge

Inkntoneruk.co.uk

At first glance it might seem like a simple and straightforward procedure but due to many customers inquiring and asking how to replace their printer cartridges, we have decided to go back to the basics and clarify it for those that might be stuck. If you are struggling to replace your Canon printer cartridge, Brother printer Cartridge or any other cartridge for that matter then follow the step-by-step guide below and you will be printing again in no time.

Step 1

If you want to replace your empty cartridge then obviously you must have a new cartridge ready. So the first step is to go and buy the ink cartridge. If you still do not have yours, then it is a good idea to purchase them now. Grab a cheap ink cartridge at InknToneruk.co.uk the cheapest ink provider online.

Step 2

Take the cartridge out of its packaging and be sure to remove any seals, clips or strings that might come with the cartridge. This also entirely depends on what printer you own.

Step 3 

Make sure to plug the printer into the socket and turn it on. You will be able to tell if the printer is on or off by the printer’s light or printers screen if it has one. The light or the screen is usually placed somewhere on the top of the printer.

Step 4

Lift or slide the lid of your device. This should automatically make your printer cartridges slide out.

Step 5

This is probably the most valuable piece of advice. When you are taking the used cartridge out of the printer, pay close attention to the way you are taking it out because that is exactly how the new cartridge will have to be inserted into your machine.

Step 6

For those who already missed step 5 and took out the cartridge without paying any attention to it – check out this simple video explaining how to remove and install the new cartridge.

Tip 1: When replacing compatible ink cartridges or recycled ink cartridges have a tissue handy just in case the cartridge is leaking.

Tip 2: Every cartridge should come with a manual. If it does not then most likely the cartridges are not of the highest quality. Please refer to the manual to replace an ink cartridge.

Ink Cartridge Remanufacturing Process

Featured

Buy Cheap Remanufactured Ink Cartridges

At Inkntoneruk we are passionate about what we do. We know for a fact that, it is not what you do, but how you do it that matters. That is exactly what today’s post is about – “How do we remanufacture ink cartridges?” So how do we do it? It’s simple, buy the ink, pour it down the empty cartridge and your are ready to print. Unfortunately, it is not as easy as that. It takes skill, patience, appropriate equipment and a lot of testing before remanufactured cartridges can go onto the consumers shelves. In order to explain the ink cartridge recycling process in detail, I have teamed up with a few experts in the world of remanufacturing ink cartridges, Chris and his assistant Josh (pictured below) to guide us through eight remanufacturing stages and to produce a compatible Canon PG-540 Black ink cartridge at the end of it.

It really is a smart move to go for compatible ink cartridges (recycled ink cartridges and remanufactured ink cartridges). To appreciate what it takes to produce a recycled ink cartridge, we figured it would be a good idea to share the remanufacturing process with you. This is a grey area for a lot of consumers and we hope you will find this information useful.

8 Steps to Remanufacture an Ink Cartridge

Step 1 – Weigh the Canon PG-540 ink cartridge

First things first. After we receive a used PG-540 cartridge from you, we have to weigh it first to see which cartridges still have some ink left in them. We separate the cartridges with ink in them and the ones without.

Step 2 – Spin the PG-540 cartridges

The ink cartridges which still had some ink in them have to go through a spinning process for the sponge inside the ink cartridge to dry out. It is slowly being prepared for that all important ink refill. After spinning the cartridges, it is necessary to weigh them again to ensure that all the ink has been removed from the inside of the cartridge.

Step 3 – Spray the Ink Cartridge

In the third stage of ink cartridge remanufacturing, Chris has sprayed the ink cartridges and the cartridge head in order to remove excess ink so the cartridge can communicate properly with the Canon printer. After spraying it, a clip is attached to the PG-540 ink cartridge for extra protection.
 

Step 4 – Fill the Cartridge with Ink

The fourth stage is where the major magic happens and the ink gets a refill into the clean and empty cartridges using the needles that insert into the cartridges (picture above). Firstly, you have to be extremely careful not to fill too much or too little ink and follow precise cartridge capacity guidelines. Once the ink is in, it is time to weigh them again to ensure that all ink cartridges are the right weight.

Step 5 – Suck the Ink Cartridge

This is a vital part of the process, “sucking” the ink cartridge. All cartridges have to be “sucked” in order for them to start the ink flow, so when you insert it in your printer the ink is ready to be transferred to your printer.

Step 6 – Leave the cartridges for 7 days

Now, the ink cartridges have to sit for a minimum of 7 days, for the ink to sink into the sponge inside the cartridge.

Step 7 – More Testing

After the ink cartridges have been on the shelf for a minimum of 7 days, Chris has to carry out a few printing tasks and also print a couple of test pages to ensure the highest quality prints for your home or office.

Step 8 – Ready To Go

Now the ink cartridges are on the shelf, with the correct labels and ready to dispatch, as soon as the orders comes in.

Bear in mind that this is not the only way to remanufacture cartridges and some cartridges need to boil before they can get a refill and others such as compatible HP Photosmart ink cartridgescompatible Canon Pixma ink cartridges and compatible Epson Stylus ink cartridges go through the remanufacturing process in a factory in China. If you’d like us to refill your cartridges, select your printer model using our quick finder, then if the refill option is available for your cartridge, click on the refill option. After paying for your refill, you’ll get a free post address to send your ink cartridge to us, which we’ll refill and send it back to you shortly.

Best Value Ink Cartridges And Printers

We seem to be getting more and more people asking us for advice these days on which cartridges and printers are good value for money. So we thought we’d put down some ideas for our loyal customers.

General pointers.

  • Avoid choosing a printer which takes cartridges which incorporate a printhead in the cartridges design. (inkjet cartridges)
  • Avoid choosing a printer with only takes one colour cartridge and choose printers which take individual cartridges for each colour. (Ink tank cartridges)
  • Try to steer away from the cheaper £30 -£50 printers because the cartridges are expensive. Replacing a set of cartridges can cost more than the cost of these cheap printers. The more you spend on a printer the better value for money your cartridges will be.
  • Avoid Lexmark and Dell. These printers and cartridges represent very poor value for money, with expensive cartridges and poor build quality on consumables such as printheads and ink formulations.
  • If your printing is for the home or small office use compatibles as they are much cheaper and produce good printing results.
  • Calculate your cost-per-print by diving the pages a cartridge produces by the cost. If it’s a colour printer add up all your inks and divide by the page yield of only one cartridge not them all.

HP, Epson and Canon Photo Printing

There is a special place for in the world of printing for photographers with many different manufactures promising that your photographs will look even better than before. Photo printers, ink cartridges, photo paper and printheads all play a major part in determining how good your printing will look. This little article will hopefully shed some light and arm you with some knowledge on what to look for. We will be talking about HP, Epson and Canon (among other companies).

Major manufactures like HP, Epson and Canon all use their patented ink formulations in their ink cartridges and produce slightly different results.

So what have HP, Epson and Canon done for Printing?

Epson:

Epson are key leaders in the world of photo printing and use many different ink formulations in their photo ink cartridges to tailor to your needs. Their ultrachrome ink formulation which they use a lot with their Epson photo ink cartridges has many different variations which depend on the printer you are buying. These are ultrachrome HDR (high dynamic range) K3, K3 with vivid magenta and high gloss2. K3 stands for three black ink system but Epson have now released a four Epson black ink cartridge system which also uses light, light black for extra realism in your printing.

Epson have developed CLARIA photographic ink formulation in their Epson ink cartridges for use with D-SLR cameras. There is also Durabrite to consider and have recently developed a specialist formulation called aqueous which uses the colour white because it can print on transparencies.

Epson have also developed a printhead which uses a dot mapping algorithm system; dramatically improving quality at all resolutions. It is anticipated that this technology will eventually be passed down to less expensive printers.

Canon:

Canon combine ink formulations, printhead technology and photo paper together to give you professional photographic results. There patented ink formulation called chromalife 100 / 100+  which they use in their Canon ink cartridges claims to make your printing last 100 years. Canon also use FINE (Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) printhead technology and combine these two technologies together to give you very fine print detail. Canon printheads can have up to 7,680 nozzles. Each nozzle is capable of dispensing ink droplets the size of one picolitre which is one trillionth of a litre. Canon differ from Epson because they offer both single colour ink cartridges or FINE ink cartridges which combine everything into one cartridge. FINE cartridges are a convenient and handy way of replacing and managing Canon ink cartridges but cannot produce the same high quality results as individually coloured Canon ink cartridges.

HP:

HP use Vivera ink formulation in most of their ink cartridges and have recently developed latex printing technology which is used in industrial, super large scale printing and brings an environmentally friendly edge. HP’s ink formulation range isn’t as comprehensive as Epson’s with their main claims being that the purity of their Vivera formulation is very high; resulting in consistently high quality prints. HP also claim their Vivera ink formulation in their ink cartridges has a print permanence of nearly a century when used with certain printers. One notable observation about HP is that they don’t seem to have as many coloured specialist ink cartridge colours as Epson do. The specialist coloured ink cartridges they do offer go in very expensive large format printers.

Incredible Innovation for Printing

Epson however offer a comprehensive colour set for photo printers at a much lower unit cost. Using a reduced colour palette with your ink cartridges will make a perceivable difference in high quality photographic prints. Using a bigger colour set with your photo printing enables your printer to produce wider tonal scope, halftones, hues and shades which appear more realistic. HP also offer the alternative to purchasing your HP ink cartridges individually, they call it tri-colour technology. Again this is a design which combines all the colours needed into one ink cartridge. This method is a quick and handy approach for colour printing but not recommended for photo enthusiasts who are looking for higher quality results.

Manufactures all have similar claims to the performance of their ink formulations in their ink cartridges with the key ones being durability, lightfastness and quick to dry. The addition of photo ink cartridge colours like light light black, vivid light magenta, green, and orange only to name a few have enabled further advances in adding realism onto your page. The best formulations claim light fastness of around 100 years under normal lighting conditions.

HP, Epson and Canon Printer Comparisons and Pros/Cons

What to look for in a (HP, Epson or Canon) photo printer.

Features and memory card compatibility play an important role in determining how effective and easy to use a photo printer can be,

Resolution

The resolution of your printer is important and should be one something you look for. It can be found under DPI (Dots Per Inch). Try and get the highest DPI number you can as the higher the number is, the better your print quality will become. This will ensure your photography will have a high number of ink droplets per inch and so give you better looking image definition.

Memory Card Compatibility

Be sure to check this and see if the printer is compatible with your particular card. Most photo printers have this option and the best have multiple slots for the most popular cards being used.


Status Panel

Make sure to check out the status panel on a printer before you buy it to check if it lets you view your pictures or only displays the photo number.

Print Speed

Something to look for and consider, although not a crucial element for enthusiasts, if used frequently a slow print speed can become frustrating and a set back.

We hope you enjoyed learning a bit about HP, Epson and Canon in this Blog and we hope to see you back soon!

Why not do your bit for the environment and send back your empty cartridges when they’re empty for recycling. Recycling your Canon cartridges helps save resources and keep our environment cleaner. Did you know that the manufacture of one ink cartridge uses a pint and a half of oil? That’s a lot of oil!

You could also recycle your cartridges at local recycling facilities.

Ink cartridges – buying the easy way

 

Buy your ink cartridges online the easy way, for a cost-effective service.

Most of us are used to buying things over the internet – whether it’s the weekly shopping, Christmas presents or things for the home. A huge variety of goods and services are available online and yet we still use shops for certain items. Many people still visit computer suppliers to buy ink cartridges, for example, but if you choose the right website, you can cut down your time and your costs by buying online.

All ink cartridges in one place

The best thing about buying online, of course, is that there are hundreds of ink cartridges to choose from. So even if you have an older printer, or one that you can have difficult finding replacement ink cartridges for on the high street, an online site is often able to help. Finding the ink cartridges you need is easy – just type in your printer make and model number – or use the links on the site to find your printer quickly and easily. From there, it’s just a short step to ordering the ink cartridges you want and checking out. Delivery is often within a couple of days and, depending how much you spend, delivery could also be completely free. You can buy ink cartridges for a wide range of printers – inkjet and laser – including:

Greener ink cartridges

Empty ink cartridges can be wasteful, particularly if they’re just thrown away when they’re finished. Many companies are now recycling ink cartridges, which helps the environment, but also reduces the cost. For many models of printer, you can buy brand new original cartridges, but you can also buy cheaper cartridges that are compatible with your machine, or you can choose recycled cartridges that will save you money but give you the same great quality print.

Ink Cartridges: Vital Cogs in the Work Machine

The business machine is invariably a multi-layered one that requires many elements to keep working for it to function efficiently. Ink cartridges are one of the key components of any modern business environment and a reputable supplier of ink cartridges is a must for any office to work.

 

The emergence of printers revolutionised the office work environment and things have gone from strength to strength in terms of printing technology and elements such as ink cartridges are becoming more technologically advanced and increasingly economically viable due to, in no small part, the popularity of online retailers of ink cartridges.

It is clear that any business that carries out a lot of printing on a daily basis, which is the vast majority, will need to find a provider of ink cartridges that has all the leading brands such as Hewlett Packard, Epson and Canon ink cartridges. It’s important that you achieve the best price for your ink cartridges when you carry out as much printing as that which is done by most businesses daily and this is often the reason that they will turn to online providers because of the savings that can be made on all the leading printing brands from Epson to HP.

 

Ink/Toner Cartridges are a must for any Business to Work

 

Toner cartridges such as those offered by Hewlett Packard are often the best choice for a business that only ever needs to print out black and white documents such as invoices because they will be capable of providing good quality prints on every occasion. Toner cartridges are generally one of the best choices for heavy duty printing requirements where there is more or less a constant stream of printing throughout the day. If, however, a company requires more detailed prints or prints frequently in colour than Epson or HP ink cartridges are likely to be a much better option because these varieties of ink cartridges suit such a task.

 

Boosting Efficiency with Quality Ink Cartridges

 

To make a business work, it is all about having a core of equipment in the workplace that helps to facilitate an easier and more efficient running of day to day operations. Printers, and by extension, toner and ink cartridges, are, unquestionably, of paramount importance when it comes to keeping things ticking over in offices up and down the country and it makes sense to purchase these ink cartridges as cheaply as possible and online retailers which offer both new and used ink cartridges from the likes of HP, Epson and Canon are invariably the best choice.
