Money – is the driving force behind everything we do nowadays. But when such conversational subject as “Original against Compatible cartridges” is in question, quality becomes equally as important. As a “printerer” (person who prints) all you can ever wish is for is a high quality cheap ink cartridge. Who cares what box the cartridge is in? As long as it fits the bill – you will go for the “kill” and purchase the cartridge again and again. Right?

Buy originals only if the quality of the prints is paramount. If you are printing photos or highly important presentation documents then just stick to the original, if not then continue reading.
Never buy compatibles of eBay. Mostly likely its some “cowboy” in his garage pumping the cartridges with ink without any proper equipment. It’s just not worth the risk.

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.
Canon ip7250 Pixma Ink Cartridges
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.
“I would like to buy a new printer but I have no idea which one to get. Can you help me please?” This is the question that is always being asked time and time again by customers in inkntoneruk.co.uk cartridge shop. We have identified 5 pillars that will enable you to make a more educated decision when buying an inkjet printer and will give you a better idea on what you can expect from your device after you have purchased it.
Tip 1: Buy more expensive printer
Remember, cheap printer = expensive ink.
This might sound outlandish to some people but you do not want to buy a printer that takes ink cartridges which are more expensive than the printer itself. I would recommend to look at the printers that cost £100 upwards.
Tip 2: Find out the cost per page (CPP)
To find out the cost per page simply divide the price by the page yield of the inkjet cartridge.
For Example:
If the price of a HP inkjet cartridge is £25.92 and page yield is 2,000 pages therefore the CPP = 1.3p per page.
2592 / 2000 = 1.296
Tip 3: Find out pages per minute (PPM)
When you identify printers and cartridges that will suit your pocket and wallet, it’s time to take a look at the printer specifications. Pages per minute or PPM is usually displayed by the manufacturer so be sure to check it out to find the fastest machine. The faster you print the less time you waste, the less time you waste the more productive you and your office will be.
Tip 4: Dots per inch (DPI)
The speed of the device loses it’s credibility if the prints are unclear or blurry. The last thing you want is your office documents to be fuzzy. That is why you should also check dots per inch. The DPI is usually displayed as 600 x 600 and 1200 x 1200 the higher the DPI the better quality your printings will be.
Tip 5: Read the printer reviews
Nobody will give you a better advice than the people who already used the device, so take your time and go through the printer reviews before you commit to buying it. Some printers have minor faults and reoccurring problems and not always deliver what you expect. For example, on the printer box it might say that wi-fi is easy to connect. However, after reading reviews you might find that others struggled.
Conclusion
Look at HP, Canon and Epson products and don’t forget to check all 5 recommended tips. We hope that this Blog Post informed you on upgrading an Inkjet Printer.
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.

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 cartridges, compatible 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. Need Printer Ink – Think Ink‘N‘TonerUK
The answer is very straight forward. The cheapest ink cartridges are compatible ink cartridges. If, you have never tried compatible ink cartridges, then I strongly recommend you give it a go. If, you have bought them previously and had disappointments, cheer up, because at Ink’N’TonerUK our compatible inks are carefully manufactured and rigorously tested to work specifically for your printer, ensuring highest quality prints for less.
Compatible Ink Cartridge Quality
Admit it, last time you probably bought those compatible ink cartridges from ebay, which were made and sold by some “gizza” who re-manufactures them from his own garage. In addition, if you purchase the compatible ink cartridges from unreliable source, you are doomed to fail and might never want to buy them again. One thing you have to remember is that, there are amateur compatible cartridge suppliers and there are professional compatible cartridge suppliers Ink’n’TonerUK is of course the latter. DO NOT let one or two disappointments ruin your chance to save big cash on your printing needs. It is worth trying this alternative, due to unbelievable savings that you can make on your overall printing costs and in this article I will cover just a few products from a widest range, that are available to you to buy today.
Just take a minute and have a quick look at the prices above. The original Black Epson T0711 costs £9.98, which is decent but, if you look just a bit to the left, you will the the Premium Compatible price and it is only £2.29!!!! That is staggeringly low.
Unseen savings like these are unseen to a regular consumer because, they ether heard rumours that compatibles are bad or had 1 or 2 bad experiences with them and never looked back again. Now, don’t get me wrong, of course the compatible ink cartridge prints are slightly less sharp and you might get an odd faulty cartridge, but most of the time they are perfectly fine and to be honest, there are not much of a difference between the two. In this case, the fact is that the compatibles ink cartridges are four times cheaper and that’s why the EpsonT0711 holds the title of the cheapest ink cartridges.
At the end of the day, it is a choice you have to make whether you want to save lots of money and buy the compatibles but get an odd problem here or there or you can buy the pricier originals and not worry about anything going wrong. The decision is yours.
Moving on down the list we have cheapest Brother ink cartridges to offer just for £2.61 for black and colour. How about that for a bargain? Additionally, the LC985BK and LC985C originals costing very cheap too only £7.86 for colour and £13.79 for black. We also have a 2-Pack Black EpsonLC985BKP2 on to offer which costs only £5.08!!!! Compared to original £24.97. You save twenty pounds just by going for compatible ink cartridge instead of the original one. Select your Brother printing machine (above) and not worry again about the cost of ink cartridges because you just have found the cheapest ink cartridges in the world.

HP
Last but not least on our list are the HP cheapest ink cartridges. As you can see for these cartridges you even have 3 choices. You can go for the Budget, Premium or the Original ones. Budget cartridges are refilled and we can also refill them for you, if you send in your used ink cartridges to us with our free post (Read more). However the best choice is definitely the premium compatibles as they guarantee the best value for money.
The original HP 300 ink cartridge cost is fair £11.85 but the if you look again to the options available to you more to the left, you’ll discover cheapest ink cartridges at the price of 6.99 for refill and premium. Keep in mind that you also get high capacity ink cartridges because they have maximum ink in them, so not only you paying twice less but you are also receiving twice as much ink in return!!!
Conclusion
Firstly, I will be the first one to say this “the compatibles are not for everyone”. If you have your big business which depends on highest quality prints and you simply cannot afford an odd faulty ink cartridge, or, furthermore, maybe you just simply can’t stand the idea of any problem that would cause the cartridge to be replaced. Then, obviously the compatibles are not for you, but if you are a SOHO user or just print occasionally and you are prepared to be a bit more patient if necessary, then you will be able to take advantage of the cheapest ink cartridges and save huge amounts of money in the long run.

After continual falling sales spanning over the last five years Lexmark have announced that they are closing down the inkjet division of their company. This will result in the closure of their inkjet manufacturing plant in the Philippines and a worldwide reduction of their workforce by 13%; equating to 1,700 jobs, 1,100 of which are part of the manufactures restructuring program following disappointing sales figures.
What’s next for Lexmark?
Lexmark say that they will now turn their attention towards the laser printing arm of their company, higher margin software solutions and their managed print services (MPS). The move comes as now surprise after years of disappointing results and Lexmark have said they have had to make tough decisions to remain competitive
Paul Rooke, CEO and Chairman of Lexmark commented on technology website The Next Web: “Today’s announcement represents difficult decisions, which are necessary to drive improved profitability and significant savings.
“Our investments are focused on higher value imaging and software solutions, and we believe the synergies between imaging and the emerging software elements of our business will continue to drive growth across the organization.
Lexmark have announced that they will continue to manufacture Lexmark ink cartridges for discontinued printers for several years however, and inkntoneruk will continue to stock them.

We hope this Blog post was useful to you and we encourage you to come back every Friday, when we post new content on our Blog!
Today’s Blog Post contains five considerations for you to think about when buying a printer for your home use or for use at a small office. Even for the pros choosing the right printer can be difficult these days as the market is saturated with many printers that are very similar at every level of price point. One of the main pitfalls we see is customers who buy very cheap inkjet printers and later on are shocked at the high cost of their replacement ink cartridges. This is very common and easily done as it’s easy to lure in customers by the low cost of some printers.
To avoid this pitfall check the cost of replacement ink cartridges before you buy any printer. One good method of pointing in the right direction is to search for good value for money ink cartridges first and then see what printers they are compatible with.
We came up with this list of five pointers to help our customers make the right choice when buying a new printer and get the best value for money with their printing needs.
1) What are the minimal requirements and functions you require
The first of five considerations. With so many features and functions found on modern multifunction inkjet printers, these days choosing a printer can be tough. To help make your decision easier firstly decide on the minimum requirements you need for your new printer. On top of basic functions like copy, scan and print, determine if you need anything else like the ability to send documents via fax or email. We recommend these functions for any office printer. You’ll need a network compatible printer if you want to use your printer on other computers in your house / office and you should also determine if you need colour printing or not. Answering these questions will help narrow down your choices and help you find the right printer and ink cartridges for your needs.
2) The initial layout and running costs
Printing costs can run up over time and doing some quick math on ink cartridge page yields and cost of your ink cartridges will help you get a feel for your printers running costs. Once you do the maths you will probably find that the more expensive printers usually have much lower running costs than the cheap ones. You should look at your printer as an investment, this is probably something you are going to be using everyday in an office setting and it can incur expensive running costs if you don’t get it right.
3) Performance
One of the most important things to consider after cost is performance. You will be amazed at how quickly you can be frustrated by slow printing speeds and clumsy designs which will make you feel like you have waited an age for a single sheet to be printed. The same goes for scanning and copying speeds, and is especially relevant in office settings where you do not have the luxury of spare time. Print quality is normally very good on modern inkjet printers but we recommend HP, Brother and Epson ink cartridges for anyone who wants to get the best printing results.
4) Independent reviews and product information
To get the low down on the model you’re considering buying try looking at reviews published by testing agencies who perform independent and unbiased reviews on products tested. Be careful of some positive online reviews as some manufacturers actually commission them themselves to give a good impression of their product and make you want to buy it.
5) Warranties and service packages available
Last, but not least, number five. Consider how often you will be using your printer, how important it will be to your home or office and the amount of years you will require its services for. This should give you a good insight into the level of service required and additional running costs that may arise. Keeping any printer in tip top condition over the course of its lifespan is going to take more than ink cartridges or paper and you should look at manufactures warranties and additional service packages which may come with your printer before purchasing. Consumables like printheads and waste toners can also take time to order from the manufacturer so this should also come into consideration if they are available for your printer.
We want our customers to be happy with every aspect of their ink and toner cartridge purchases and because we think our customers are great we came up with more ways in which you can save. So we came up with our reward points scheme for all our loyal customers who want to save even more on their ink and toner cartridges. Customers can also use their reward points on our fax cartridges, solid ink, photo paper and computer accessories to! In fact you can use your reward points on anything you want, all you have to do is select reward points in the payment and confirmation section of our website to claim your discount. Don’t worry though, if you don’t use them your reward points account will continue to grow, ready for the time that you do wish to use them.
One of the best things about reward points is that it gives you more points for choosing a compatible ink or toner cartridge and even more if it’s a refill cartridge. The reason that this is great is because compatible and refill cartridges are more environmentally friendly than original ink or toner cartridges and they’re also cheaper. So by selecting a refill or a compatible ink and toner cartridge, you are helping the environment, saving money, and being given even more Reward Points for choosing these selections. Inkntoneruk also give money to Caring For Kids when they receive a cartridge which has been sent back to us after it has been used. We remanufacture these cartridges and sell them as compatibles, so you see by selecting compatible cartridges you are also helping charity as well.
How Reward Points work
We like to keep things simple at inkntoneruk when you’re buying your ink or toner cartridges. So what we’ve done is the following. For every pound you spend on original cartridges we give you one point. For every pound you spend on compatible cartridges we give you two points and for refills we give you three. It’s as easy as 1,2,3! Also, refer a friend and we’ll give you 500 points to get you going! How about that!
Saving in the long run
Over time your printing consumable costs will mount up. One way to combat this and to reduce the overall cost of purchasing your ink or toner cartridges is to shop exclusively at inkntoneruk and take advantage of our reward point’s scheme. By doing this you will lower the overall cost of your printing. Now, we know you’re probably thinking, what if you find it cheaper somewhere else and you’re really not saving any money on your ink or toner cartridges, but we’ve got our Price Promise which ensures you won’t.
We’ll double the difference if you do find your ink cartridges or toner cartridges cheaper anywhere else and constantly adjust our prices to make them some of the lowest online, 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days of the year. So you see, you can be confident in our prices and to fully take advantage of our reward points scheme and lower your overall cost of your ink or toner cartridges you should continue to shop at inkntoneruk. Just remember to select reward points in the payment and confirmation section in our checkout when placing your order to take advantage of some great savings!
TCO estimates the total cost of ownership of something for the duration of its life, in this case it’s printers. Users may be surprised when they see the TCO of some printers is actually quite high, maybe a lot higher than what they thought it might be. Typically the TCO for a printer is estimated to be a three year period but some modern printers can have up to five years of operational use.
TCO is definitely something you should be considering when buying any printer. It takes into account its running costs and gives you an accurate figure which reflects the cost-efficiency of your printing. Printer TCO also takes into account the limits of a printers monthly due cycle which is the recommended maximum usage for that printer per month.
There are companies out there who don’t want you to figure out what we’re going to tell you because if you did, you wouldn’t buy their printer and ink cartridges in the first place. Luckily for you inkntoneruk are here to give you a helping hand in making an informed choice when it comes to keeping the cost of your printing down.
Let us use this simple TCO mono laser (black and white) printer example to illustrate the importance of considering TCO and of factoring in the hidden running costs.
TCO A4 Laser Printer Example
Usage: 500 Pages per month (1 Paper Ream) over a 3 year period
You can see, as it is almost always the rule of thumb with printers, the more you spend on buying your printer the cheaper your printer cartridges will be for it. Customers looking for a quick, cheap fix to their printing needs will quickly release it was a costly error when the time comes to replace their cartridges.
It’s worth pointing out that one Kyocera toner cartridge for the FS-2020D will last two years with a 500 page per month usage, while one HP P1005 toner cartridge will last three months! A massive improvement in efficiency all round from Kyocera not to mention to benefits to be had for the environment by curbing landfill waste and resources used in manufacturing and distribution.
How To Calculate Printer TCO
Its easy to calculate TCO for any printer you currently use or are considering purchasing, just add the following costs up:
(c) Number of cartridges used (average ink cartridge usage is 20 per annum)
The resulting figure will be the TCO, voilà!
Note:
You should include any other consumables which may need replacing during a three year printing cycle when calculating your TCO. i.e. print heads, waste toner cartridges, fuser units and drum units.
