Simply put Google cloud printing lets you connect your printer to the internet and remotely print from it from another computer, tablet, smart phone or web enabled device. With Google cloud you can remotely use your work and home printers available to you and anyone else you choose. Watch the video.

What you can do with it?

With Google cloud you can print, scan, print off emails and texts, photographs all remotely from another computer or web enabled device. If this sounds good then read on.

How Does It Work?

Google cloud works by running a small program in its Chrome browser which talks to your printer driver and tells it to send print jobs. This way all you have to do is be signed into your Google account to be able to print from any other web enabled device which has a print option.

How Do I Do It?

Firstly you need to have a Google account

Then you need to install Google Chrome on the computer which has the printer you want to use with Google cloud.

Then click on this link and follow the instructions on how to either add a “classic” printer or a printer which is already cloud enabled. It doesn’t take long and is relatively easy to.

Apps that work with Google Cloud Print

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.

HP World Class

Founded by Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard in 1939, HP have become one of the largest organisations in the world. Responsible for many key electronic innovations of the modern age, HP have consistently released key products which have contributed to the technological advancement of our age.

From small Garage to huge Corporation

HP started off from a garage in California and is said to be the birthplace of the silicon age. Who would of thought that just seventy years later they would be the world leader in ink cartridges and toner cartridges. Furthermore, the garage has been part of an extensive restoration project by HP which aimed at returning it and the house which is nearby to its original condition.

HP Logo

HP have one of the largest market shares in the world with 65% of all printer sales being HP ink cartridges and toner cartridges. HP’s printer range is the largest and most extensive of all the main manufactures with their printers covering every conceivable printing requirement and the different ink cartridge and toner cartridge options.

HP’s Recycling Program

HP provides a recycling program for all their HP toner cartridges and ink cartridges to help reduce the environmental impact which they have on the environment. Most of HP’s ink cartridges are also easy to remanufacture, a good example of this would be the HP 21 (C9351AE) Black ink cartridge. The HP 21 Black ink cartridge is not only an environmental choice of ink cartridge but also a versatile one which goes in roughly about 100 printers all of which have different specifications.

Old HP printers still represent good value for money and have quality specifications which still hold their own in today’s highly competitive market.

HP use their Vivera ink formulation in their ink cartridges which delivers precise, long lasting colour and can be of use in conjunction with HP’s advanced photo paper to achieve professional results. HP’s toner formulation uses microscopic particles to give you an unmatched level of printing accuracy and colour replication onto your page.

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.

Ink Cartridges – Reasons to Look into Reconditioned or Compatible Ink Cartridges

Anyone who has ever bought a printer before will have discovered that they are advised to only use the branded ink cartridges associated with the printer but this can often be very expensive and many consumers are discovering myriad benefits from remanufactured/reconditioned ink cartridges.

Reconditioned Ink Cartridges

Ink cartridges are by far the biggest expenditure associated with the running of printers and when you consider just how many documents are printed on a daily basis, particularly in an office environment, the cost of ink cartridges can soon rack up. There are ways, however, of ensuring that your spending on ink cartridges is kept in check. Many people, both in a business and leisure environment, have discovered numerous advantages from utilising remanufactured of compatible ink cartridges.

Obviously, the biggest benefit to emerge from this is the substantial savings that can be made because reconditioned or refill ink cartridges can often be as little as a third of the cost of an original ink cartridge. It is possible to get refill ink cartridges for all the major brands such as Epson, Canon, Lexmark and HP ink cartridges and this method is likely to be heavily utilised in 2009 as consumers and businesses look to cut their expenditures.

Ink Cartridges – Finding a name you can trust

When it comes to refill or reconditioned ink cartridges, whether they be for Epson, Canon, HP or any of the major printing brands, you will need to find an ink cartridge provider you can trust because without the due care and attention being paid to reconditioning the ink cartridges, it can have an impact on the quality of the printings that are carried out. More consumers turn to refill ink cartridges and it’s easy to see why when you look at the benefits. Just some of the main benefits to emerge from using remanufactured ink cartridges include:

  •       Quality – Just because you are using refill ink cartridges, it doesn’t mean that you have to compromise on quality. Most providers of reconditioned ink cartridges are experts at what they do. Therefore, the printing quality of refill ink cartridges is invariably indistinguishable from the original product.
  • Cost – Of course, the reason most people use remanufactured cartridges is because of the cost-saving they represent. Businesses and consumers alike will be amazed by how cheap reconditioned ink cartridges are than originals. This is something that makes them an extremely attractive proposition.

HP Ink Cartridges are, unquestionably, one of the market leaders and are capable of achieving the sort of end results that businesses and consumers are looking for when it comes to their printing needs.

Demand for Ink Cartridges Steady

Despite futurologists predicting the advent of the paperless office, ink cartridge demand is as high as ever.

It seems every year a new raft of predictions on how future technology will transform our lives is released. Concepts such as interactive TV, flying cars and the paperless office seem to be doomed from the start. Ink cartridge sales are steady despite the fact the UK has embraced the green revolution, recycling and the internet. Ink cartridge demand is still high because having printed pages to hand is still the ultimate way to capture information.

 

The Paperless Office Myth

 

Like paperback books, ink cartridge demand endures because of the physical quality of having printed ink on paper. Some futurologists have predicted books will disappear as hand-held computer monitors carry hundreds of novels in their memory banks. But nobody likes to read, especially something they want to read again and again, interact with or refer back to, on a computer screen. Ink cartridge sales in offices across the UK are high because of the need to print off and physically interact with information – from underlining facts, highlighting ideas or isolating thoughts.

 

The Humble Ink Cartridge

 

And aside from the physical interaction of dealing with printed off essays, articles, fact sheets or reports, ink cartridges are necessary so we can have convenience and flexibility too. By using a simple black and white ink cartridge, we can print off particular reports and carry them on the commute home. We can read them on the train or in the bath. We can pass documents to colleagues and share ideas. Of course this can be done using a memory stick and a laptop, transferring data so it can be carried from point A to point B, but doing so is expensive, more inflexible, bulky and time consuming. It’s not surprising that despite the predictions of many, the humble ink cartridge is such a staple in office supplies across the country.

 

Printers in Overdrive

 

Despite futurologists’ predictions, there’s inventions so integral to how we work effectively, it seems they’ll never die. The ink cartridge manages to ride tides of resistance. Recent figures suggest British office workers use up to 120 billion pieces of paper every year. Ink cartridges and A4 paper for printing machines are kept busy 24-7. An estimated 10% of a businesses turnover is dedicated to paper-related activity.

 

Print Junkies Gobble Ink Cartridges

 

Types of ‘print junkies’ have been identified as the drivers behind ink cartridge sales. The ‘old school’ printers who like to print off hard copies of emails to deal with them. The ‘competitive’ printers who believe using the ink cartridge to maximum effect will make them look busier. Most importantly, the ‘trigger happy’ printers who mistakenly print off 60-page documents before checking page length, wasting valuable ink cartridges. An office worker is estimated to print an average of 22 pages of paper every day. Many offices could become more efficient in equipment use. There’s still huge demand for paper and ink in office environments.
