Never Agree to Printer Updates

Why you should never agree to printer updates unless you want to stop using compatible ink or toner cartridges.

no updates for printer
no-update

Many printers use automatic firmware updates that force you to use the expensive original products rather than cheaper alternatives. This is often an option in your printer software that can be changed or refused. Never agree to firmware updates so that you are able to continue using alternative cartridges.

Firmware updates can lock your printer into only accepting original cartridges, which makes the original maker of your printer lots of money and costs you a packet ! The cartridge you’ve purchased from us is an environmentally friendly low cost alternative to an original cartridge and will provide you with the high print quality that you expect.

Your replacement cartridge is of the highest quality.The company that makes your printer would prefer you to buy a more expensive original cartridge from them. This is how they make so much money !

Possible Pop-Up Messages

This is why certain messages may pop up when you insert a replacement cartridge into your machine. For example:

  • “This is not a genuine product …… do you wish to continue?”
  • “Your printer warranty may not cover repairs or service due to the use of non-original cartridges”
  • “Ink / Toner level indicator will not work as this is not a genuine cartridge… ”
  • “Warning Ink / Toner low …..”

Never pay any attention to the Ink / Toner level indicator, no matter what type of cartridge you are using. This is because the indicator only counts pages based on an assumption of a 5% coverage of Ink / Toner onto the page and does not accurately measure Ink / Toner levels.

It is not unusual for a customer to buy a replacement cartridge because the Ink / toner level indicator on their printer has told them to do so, even though their current cartridge is still half full! Do not worry because your replacement cartridge is fills to maximum capacity, which means there is more Ink / Toner in it than an original cartridge.

Please continue to use your cartridge (click the ‘OK’ button or hold down the ‘RESUME’ button if required to do so) and only replace it once the print quality starts to deteriorate.

Certain types of Canon printer will require you to press and hold down a button (with a red upside down triangle) on it for a few seconds. A non-original cartridge will not damage your printer and will save you lots of money on your printing costs. So when the time comes for you to purchase a new printer you will have saved hundreds, if not thousands, by sticking with us !

From Landfill to Refill

In a day where whales are dying from polluted oceans and bees are vanishing at alarming rate for unknown reasons. It is more vital then ever before to consider the environment and go green. It is clear that our actions affect everything around us and we are being affected by everything around us at the same time. Over 45 million printer cartridges that are non bio-degradable end up in the landfill each and every single year.

Some of the chemicals in the printer cartridges can take up to 900 years to dissolve causing the soil to be intoxicated. A very Wiseman once said “do not spit in the water – because you might have to drink it later”. Even though the birds in the picture below seem to be loving it, by ignoring these serious indicators we are ignoring the future of the planet. If everyone does their bit, I’m sure we can make a huge difference.

What can we do to help to keep the environment cleaner?

The idea of 100% clean environment is a nice one indeed, however it isn’t really feasible in the foreseeable futue. The simple fact of the matter is that we cannot just stop living. We must eat and we must print, otherwise we won’t survive, but we are at a stage where in the battle of survival of the fittest, the fittest survivor is the biggest threat to himself and those around him. So what can we do? There are many things that we can do. We can start from little things because little things make big difference.

Here is the list of only 4 things that we can do to keep the pollution to a minimum.

  1. Firstly, Print Less and when Necessary.
  2. Secondly, Use compatible and/or Recycled Ink cartridges and Toner Cartridges.
  3. Additionally, third of all, Refill ink cartridges Professionally.
  4. Lastly, Recycle Ink and Toner Cartridges.

If we follow these simple rules, we as printer consumables consumers can easily say and be proud that “we have done our bit for the environment”. Less cartridges in a landfill means less problems!

Tips: Reducing Printing Costs

In these difficult economic times we as consumers are on the lookout for the best deals on everything we purchase. As it happened to be, ink cartridges and toner cartridges are on the expensive side. If you are reading this you are most likely keen on finding the right printing solution for your business or home. This article aims to give you tips on different ways to reduce your printer ownership cost without sacrificing the end results.

TIP Number 1 – Choose Your Printer Carefully

One of my first tips is to be very vigilant when you purchase your printer. When you are in the shop trying to find the right printer, at first glance it might seem like a good idea to go for the cheapest one or best looking one. Unfortunately, both of these factors have got nothing to do with how much you will actually spend once you buy the printer. If you bought the printer for around £50 you will soon realise that your printing costs are more expensive than your printer and that they are not economical at all. Of course a lot of it depends on the amount of prints you print per week/month.

Consumers who print couple copies a week here and there might not bother about the efficiency of the printer. However, if you love to print a lot or you are looking for the most sensible printing solution for your office, then I strongly recommend to go for the printers that cost £150 and above. After all you will have the printer for at least 5 years and the investment will save you money on printing cost in the long run.

TIP Number 2 – Cost Per Page is the Key

People are always asking us, “what is the best printer to buy?” “what printer should I buy?” “which printer will save me money?”

Well, it all depends on your needs. A lot of advice online suggests that in order to save on printing cost you have to print in black and white. As It happened to be, compatible black cartridges produce great quality prints, in most cases matching the originals. Other tips suggest that you print in draft mode. If you are going to print in draft mode, then what is the point of purchasing originals? When purchase premium compatible ink cartridges you will save bundles of money by decreasing your cost per page because compatible cartridges have way more ink in them. Cost per page has a lot to do with your printing expenditures, so be sure to find out the exact cost per page of the printer before your buy it, to avoid any nasty surprises in the future.

TIP Number 3 – Buy ink and toner in bulk

Another great way to save is by buying ink/toner cartridges in bulk. The cartridges usually come with couple years expiry date, so there is no reason for you not to buy more cartridges at once. At Inkntoneruk our multi packs and value packs have 5% discount which is a nice way to get all your printer consumables while spending less.

TIP Number 4 – Go for the Compatible Cartridges

Last but by far not least, tip number 4 is “compatible ink and toner cartridges”. I have read an article where the author was saying that original cartridges will save you money. How can you save money by paying more for the printer cartridges and receiving less ink in return? Compatibles could potentially save you a fortune (Read more on Colossal savings on HP toners). If you are stuck with that cheap printer and wondering how to spend less on printing cost –  you have two choices. One is to throw the cheap printer away or recycle it and buy a new one, that is better economically.

If you do your research properly chances are you’ll save for many years to come. Another option is to go for compatible cartridges. The latter receives the highest recommendations because it is guaranteed to save you cash instantly and you don’t have to throw your printer away.

Misconceptions about remanufactured ink cartridges

It’s also a common misconception that re-manufactured ink cartridges are not to be used, because they are poor quality and do not work. The fact of the matter is that, it is simply not true and whoever is telling you this, they are ether lying or have no idea what they are talking about. It is easy to babble nonsense after you had one bad experience with compatible ink cartridges but unlike genuine ink cartridges, compatibles are manufactured by many different OEM’s, not to mention amateurs who are pumping ink to the cartridge in their own homes. Compatible ink and toner cartridges at Inkntoneruk print as good as the originals but cost much less. Due to rigorous testing that takes place before cartridges are dispatched you can buy supreme quality ink and toner compatibles with total confidence.

We hope these tips were very useful to you. We encourage you to come back to our Blog each week, where we may post more tips for you in the future!

Colossal Savings on HP toners

Following the recent InknTonerUK website improvements, we are continuing our goal to save YOU money, whenever possible on ink and toner cartridges. If, you have read the last post, you may already know that the new budget and premium feature on the website gives you more choice, all you have to do is take advantage of that and choose the most suitable option to you. Today’s Blog Post is all about savings and how to save with HP Toners.

Have you been spending more than you should on your toner cartridges? To answer that question, we have decided that it would be a good idea to inform our customers of unbelievable savings that can be made, if they choose to go for budget compatible or premium compatible, instead of the original toner cartridge.

If, you own one of the following printers, you might be in for a pleasant surprise, when you find out how much cheaper the budget and premium toner cartridges actually are.

HP Laserjet P2030 Printer, HP Laserjet P2035 Printer, HP Laserjet P2035N Printer, HP Laserjet P2050 Printer, HP Laserjet P2055 Printer, HP Laserjet P2055D Printer, HP Laserjet P2055DN Printer, HP Laserjet P2055N Printer, HP Laserjet P2055X Printer.

We start with with HP LaserJet (lucky printer owners) and look what we have here. Original HP 05A Black toner cartridge costs £69.44, a cheap price indeed, but if you look at the compatible that we offer, it is only £19.15. You save £50.29!!! But that is not all if you choose to buy the HP 05X High Capacity Black Cartridge 3-Pack you save even more with original costing £325.37 and Budget only £57.36 your savings would add up to gigantic £268!!! You could actually go on holiday for that type of money, just by choosing the budget toner cartridge instead of the original.

HP Laserjet P4014 Printer, HP Laserjet P4014DN Printer, HP Laserjet P4014N Printer, HP Laserjet P4015DN Printer, HP Laserjet P4015N Printer, HP Laserjet P4015TN Printer, HP Laserjet P4015X Printer, HP Laserjet P4015XM Printer, HP Laserjet P4510 Printer, HP Laserjet P4515N Printer, HP Laserjet P4515TN Printer, HP Laserjet P4515X Printer, HP Laserjet P4515XM Printer.

If you own any of the printers above you are in for a real treat, just take a look at the prices. Hp 64A standard capacity original toner cartridge price is £133.35 not bad at all, but the budget toner cartridge will cost you only £43.71. Now, take a good look at the price of the Hp 64X high capacity black toner cartridge 3-Pack. It’s £605.19 and it is a reasonable price, as you are getting 72,000 pages altogether. The budget toner cartridge on the other hand, costs almost 5 times less £126, meaning that total saving for you would add up to astrological 479.19!!!! I think, someone is flying to Hawaii soon!!

Even, if you don’t own any of the HP Laserjet printers, that we talked about it is always highly advisable to check and consider budget or premium compatible toner cartridge alternatives as they are most of the time at least twice as cheap. No need to thank us – just don’t forget to bring back a souvenir from that holiday.

We hope you learned about savings and HP Toners in today’s Blog Post and we hope to see you next week!
