The Truth About Compatible Printer Cartridges

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?

Well, not quite. Not always anyway. In order to understand the truth behind the complexity of the issue there are 4 printer consumables commandments that almighty Toni B came up with in order for you to be a wise “Printerer”

4 Toni B Commandments for Printerer’s who actually want to save cash.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Ensure compatible ink/toner cartridge satisfaction by checking the returns policy of the company. Are they willing to give you money back if you are not satisfied with the quality of the compatible cartridge?
  4. This one might be a bit pushy but avoid the risk and buy compatible ink/toner cartridges from Inkntoneruk. Cheap high quality compatibles are sold on a daily basis at Inkntoneruk with thousands of happy customers.

Over and Out

Sincerely Yours

The Truth About Compatible Printer Cartridges for our 'Printerer'
Toni B

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!

HP OfficeJet 150 Mobile Printer

There is no end to innovation and HP has proved it again why they are the “boss” when you need to manufacturer a printer or cheap ink cartridge of the highest quality. HP’s stockholders have recently pressured the HP chairman Ray Lane to resign successfully due to disappointing financial growth. However, HP corporation as a whole continues to thrive despite 13 billion euros setback and released a portable HP OfficeJet 150 printer.

HP OfficeJet 150

HP took it to another level when they have released the OfficeJet device because nothing like that has been designed previously. We did have mobile scanners but a portable printer that can scan, print, and copy is quite extraordinary. You might think “why would anyone need such device?” but it wouldn’t have been released if there wasn’t a market and demand for it. According to HP the first portable all-in-one printer in the world will be useful to “business professionals who need compact, durable solution for printing, scanning and copying while on the go”

The OfficeJet 150 is relatively small which is something that you would expect from a mobile device but still it is not as compact to carry around like laptop for instance. It works with a built-in Bluetooth enabling the end-user to connect from tablet or a smartphone to complete required tasks. Additionally, it has a battery which will last for around 500 pages once charged to the maximum. It goes without saying that it will include Google Cloud-print and Apple air-print. The OfficeJet 150 will have 3.5 inch touch screen to control all the functions in style. The most impressive part of this machine is that it is pretty fast too, producing printing speeds of 20 pages per minute is not something you would expect from a device that you can carry wherever you please.

You can easily obtain HP ink cartridge for the Office 150 printer through our 100% secure web and collect points which will save money. Our outstanding customer service will resolve any unlikely issues swiftly and deliver your cartridges free of charge. For cheap HP inkjet supplies check us out first!

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!

Epson

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 Epson T0711 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.

InknTonerUK - HP Cheapest Cartridges

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.

Inkjet vs LaserJet 

As discussed on the previous post Epson “Laser Killers”. Epson proved that they managed to design Inkjet printers that can compete with most of the LaserJet printers and in some cases even beat them on price and printing speed.

The leading brand in the industry Hewlett-Packard, better know as HP is not falling behind and decided to take a similar approach by releasing HP inkjet printers to challenge laser jet printers.

If, you are considering to buy a laserjet, I would suggest to stop for a minute and think about your options fully, as the new printers from HP are not the ones to be ignored.

Introducing the latest HP inkjet printers

Quick Review of HP Officejet Pro X451dn Printer

To review these series printers from HP, I chose the most expensive one and the cheapest printer to review and the HP X451dn is the latter. The X451dn is a superb printing machine that takes advantage of technology to produce fantastic results in any office environment. It is one of the most cost effective and low energy using printers, that will save lots of cash in the long run. The HP X451dn simply does not care, if you are printing in black or colour it will still give you an outstanding printing speed of 36 ppm (pages per minute).

It also offers ePrint capability to allow you to print from anywhere in the world via e-mail. It also has great Ethernet connections for your network and 50,000 monthly duty cycle means that you don’t have to worry about the HP X451dn reliability. All in all the HP X451dn is cheap, will save you money and prints faster than most laserjet printers.

Quick Review of HP Officejet Pro X576dw MFP Printer

The HP X576dw MFP doesn’t look like an inkjet and certainly doesn’t print like one. 42 ppm (pages per minute) in black and colour is what you would get, if you decide to purchase this brilliant printing device. The HP X576dw MFP will print the first page in colour and black in no longer than 9.5 seconds, which is lighting quick, considering this is an inkjet. The HP X576dw MFP is also packed with great features and just like the X451dn includes ePrint capabilities that allow users to print from almost anywhere in the world. It will also prints in 1200 x 1200 dpi graphics which guarantees professional looking documents. Overall the X451dn printing machine is a great eco-frienldy printer and is bound to save you money on ink cartridges.

InknTonerUK Website Improvements

Here at InknTonerUK we always strive to keep ink cartridge and toner cartridge prices to bare minimum and improve our overall customer service whenever possible. That is why, we have introduced new website improvements. The new feature gives our customers wider choice when buying toner cartridges. Previously Ink’n’TonerUK website offered 2 choices, Compatible Toner Cartridges and Original Toner Cartridges, but now our customers have to make a choice out of 3 options, as additional option has been added, called Budget Compatible and the “Compatible Cartridge” has been changed to “Premium Compatible”. This feature is more difficult to implement, than you might think and it is not feasible with every website. Fortunately, our website is designed in a way that, makes this change possible. Now InknTonerUK.co.uk is one of very few, if not the only site that offers Budget Compatible, Premium Compatible and Original Cartridge for the same printer.

For example, if you would select HP Laserjet P4515N printer and look for high capacity black HP 64 toner cartridge. This is what you would be presented with.

As you can see, the Budget Cartridge price is much cheaper. It can actually be even up to 4 or 5 times cheaper, than the Original.

The new feature gives you options, but how do you know which one is the right for you? Well, if you buy toner cartridges from us often, then you might already have noticed the following buttons on the website which explain Budget Refill Cartridge, Premium Compatible Cartridge and Original Compatible Cartridge.

However, to make sure every customer knows what’s best for them, they need to know as much information as possible about the budget, premium and original cartridges. Below, Budget Cartridges, Premium Cartridges and Original Cartridges are explained in more detail.

Budget Compatible

Choosing Budget compatible cartridges, means you will pay rock bottom price for the cartridges. It is advised to purchase budget compatible, when you print a tremendous amount of prints daily and the printing quality is not a priority. Disadvantage of budget compatibles is that it’s non-recyclable and uses cheaper ink, however print quality is still relatively high.

Premium Compatible

Premium compatible option is probably best value for money to choose. It’s cheaper than originals but quality is much better than the budgets. However, it’s still as good as the original.

Original Cartridge

Original cartridge is made by the same company as the printer and guarantees 100% satisfactory results. It is recommended, if you are a bit fussy about print quality and don’t mind spending a little extra.

Mars – Wide Format Printing

Featured

Printing from where? The title doesn’t make sense surely! Oh yes – it does my friends. While we go about our day to day business, NASA is determined to investigate the Martian climate, geology, role of water and planetary habitability. Kris Capraro a computer systems engineer for the Image Processing Laboratory at the National Aeronautics has been working for 27 years to bring space images into spotlight and wide format printing is helping him to achieve that. Printing from Mars is possible (?).

Curiosity rover (pictured below) is about the size of an average car. It was launched aboard MSL spacecraft from Cape Canaveral Air force station on 26 of November 2011 and it took 8 months to travel 350,000,000 miles (563,000,000 km) before it successfully landed on Aeolis Palus in Gale Crater on Mars.

Capraro who took some pictures of the Curiosity Rover before it was launched said “When I took those pictures, I was astounded at how complicated the sky crane actually was,” he stated “Of course, the rover is also extremely complicated, but the lander just had bundles and bundles of wire harness. It was just unbelievable piece of machinery, but it worked.”

Wide Format Prints

Wide format imaging assisted the landing of Curiosity at Gale Crater as it is not easy to visualise something that is larger, than a computer screen. Capraro puts together left-to-right view large prints to produce big panoramas making it easier for people to visualise it. He uses HP DesignJet Z6100 to do his wide format prints from Mars.

Apart from HP, Epson and Canon also manufacture high quality large format printers. In January 2012 Canon Image PROGRAF 8300s has won the BERTL’s ‘Best’ 44inch Graphics Arts Large Format Printer award. While Canon iPF8300 and Canon Glacier were used to print an exhibition of Olympic gold medallists.

Wide format printers are usually used in the industry to print banners, posters and general signage, but the type of wide format printing Capraro is producing with HP DesignJet Z6100 has to be admired and should be appreciated by all of us.
