Best Printers for Professional use

Featured

Posted on August 15, 2022 by Rawan

Owning a good quality photo printer is super important if you are working from home. Sometimes it can be difficult to organise your documents so owning paper copies can be helpful. Many printers are not necessarily for professional use, printers such as photo printers have a specific purpose such as printing photos. However, the printers listed below will be selected by us to use professionally.

Epson EXPRESSION PHOTO XP-970

The Epson Expression Photo XP-970, which uses 6-color Claria Photo HD inks, can print borderless photographs up to 11″ x 17″. However, printing prices are too expensive! As a result, it is best to obtain compatible Epson cartridges from a trusted vendor.

It is a little all-in-one picture printer with print, copy, and scan features that produces excellent colour fidelity, outstanding skin tones, and smooth gradations. With high-resolution scans, this printer can generate virtually identical colour copies. It can print a 4″ x 6″ picture in 11 seconds.

The XP-970 has a slower print speed when compared to other photo printers in its class; yet beating the XP-970 in other crucial features is difficult.

It is quite simple to use this consumer-grade picture printer with a 4.3″ touchscreen.

Canon PIXMA PRO-100

The Canon PIXMA PRO-100, with an 8-ink dye system, is one of the top picture printers in its class, offering great colour fidelity and a broad colour range.

The 8-ink cartridge system comes with three monochrome inks – black, grey, and light grey – for producing high-quality black and white photo prints that properly evoke memories of grayscale photography.

HP ENVY 5055

The HP Envy 5055 is a low-cost all-in-one picture printer that can print, copy, and scan. It has a 2.2″ mono touchscreen display.

This inkjet printer has borderless printing capabilities and can generate high-quality photographs. This printer is popular among professionals for producing 4″ x 6″ borderless pictures. The printer can print in a variety of sizes, including A4, envelopes, and 8″ x 10″.

The Envy 5055 can print from smartphones, tablets, and enables 2-sided printing.

High-yield cartridges are not required, although the printer is compatible with the HP Instant Ink programme. Remember that the cost-per-print with the HP Instant Ink subscription plan is rather expensive.

What is the difference in buying XL and standard cartridges?

Featured

Posted on July 18, 2022 by Rawan

Every cartridge manufacturer offers a wide range of cartridges to accommodate each printer. However, what is the difference in XL and standard sizing in terms of cartridges?

Many Ink cartridge manufacturers provide standard and XL cartridges. The difference between the two? The XL simply lasts longer, meaning you will not have to replace your cartridges so often. They both have different amounts of Ink in the cartridge. Buying an XL cartridge could amount to being cheaper in the end as you obtain greater value for money.

When compared to buying an XL, the advantages of utilising a standard cartridge are that you do not have to invest as much money upfront. Furthermore, if you do not print frequently, you may prefer the standard cartridge, as cartridges left in a printer for an extended period may dry out.

If you are ever unclear about the size or type of paper that you require for your printer than you can always check the printer model on our InknTonerUK website to discover which XL and standard cartridges your printer need or contact us!

HP Cartridges

HP ink cartridges change slightly based on the printer type. Always double-check the cartridges you are removing from the printer or look up the model on the internet.

HP cartridges include versions with both black and tri-colour cartridges, which require two cartridges. The difference between the XL and standard sizes is how much the cartridges are filled.

Other types of HP ink cartridges include standard, XL, and occasionally XXL or extra high yield. When an inkjet printer has four or more slots, it implies you are getting more for your money and simply need to change the cartridge colour when it runs out.

Epson Cartridges

Epson cartridges are available in standard and XL capacity, as well as single cartridges in black, cyan, magenta, and yellow. When utilising combination cartridges, you may wind up discarding the cartridges when one colour runs out. In most circumstances, double-check your printer model first. However, in general, the size will be the same and will fit in your printer. The only variation is the amount of ink used.

How often do you have to change your toner cartridge?

Featured

Posted on June 30, 2022 by Rawan

A toner cartridge filled with toner can print thousands of pages because laser printers can print thousands of copies of a single toner cartridge. As a result, laser printers have become extremely popular. Numerous families have bought laser printers too. The toner cartridge must then be prompted every time the printer is used. The printer’s toner cartridge is comprised of three components: the magnetic drum, the photosensitive drum, and the toner cartridge. Several laser printers are self-contained and can be replaced separately, but more of the three are embedded into one. However, the most common answers would be when your toner cartridge expires. When you run out of the toner cartridge and when you change printers. Nevertheless, how would you know if any of these happen and when should you actually change the toner?

Toner Cartridges - when should you change them?

Here are some tips to prepare you for any of these.

The Tips

The expiration dates are found on the side of printer cartridges or on the side of the cartridge boxes. For most printers, the first indication that you’re nearing the end of your toner cartridge will be a low toner warning on the printer’s exterior, either on a screen or an the printers LED light.

As for needing a new printer, this will come down to many different reasons.

What are the reasons?

Your cartridges may end up being too expensive. This can affect you in terms of prints depending on how many pages you usually print. Another reason could be your printer may not work anymore, or the print speed is too slow. It could even come down to the print quality being poor. All these factors can lead to one buying a new printer. To use your printer, it is recommended that you print every 2-3 weeks, however if you are trying to replace your printer than it is recommended that you replace it every two years. This all just depends on different factors such as technology upgrades, security protocols and wear-and-tear damage.

Your cartridges can also dry up if you are not using it properly. Make sure that if you do use your printer often, to keep your cartridges sealed and stored upright in a cool and dark space. When installing your cartridges, double check by running a print job at least once every couple of weeks to keep your cartridges in good condition.

How to spot fake Ink Cartridges!

Featured

Posted on June 24, 2022 by Rawan

Counterfeit ink cartridges are like counterfeit other fake items such as Jewellery, shoes, and even paintings. They are designed to look like the real thing—in this case, ink sold by well-known printer manufacturers such as HP, Canon, and Epson. At best, it is inferior to the real McCoy in terms of image quality. Worst-case scenario, it jams and leaks, causing damage to your printer.

Remember, Compatibles/Remanufactured products are NOT FAKE!

Do not confuse fake ink with off-brand or ink that is on offer, which is manufactured to specifications by honest companies and can be a viable, low-cost alternative to brand-name ink. Whereas discount ink manufacturers seek happy, long-term customers, counterfeiters seek quick profits.

Only buy ink from reputable retailers. Although anonymous online deals are appealing, what can you do if a seller you do not know sends you a counterfeit ink cartridge? Even though reputable retail stores are occasionally duped into selling counterfeits, you will have some right of appeal if the ink you receive turns out to be fake.

Assistance in identifying Fakes

For many years, printers have holographic seals or other seals to ensure the authenticity of the products they sell. If you adjust the box, try to look at how the security seal reacts. This should be as the manufacturer specifies. Many significant printer manufacturers, such as HP, provide assistance on their websites in identifying genuine packaging.

Original suppliers vs Fake suppliers

Original supplier goods are never smeared with ink on the outside of the cartridge or inside the package. There ought to be no black toner dust or cartridge damage. Original products have multiple pull-tab tape seals all over the ink ports.

Fake cartridges frequently leak, overfill, and print in improper colours or with distorted text. Keep a close eye on the output quality of your printer. If it appears to be a fake, especially right out of the box, contact the manufacturer.

4 things to know before buying Ink Cartridges

Featured

Posted on April 29, 2022 by Rawan

Here are some things we believe you should know before buying your first Cartridges:

Are you interested in an Original (OEM) Cartridge OR a compatible cartridge (Non Original)?

Before buying a cartridge, it is important to understand all of the cartridge types available in the market for your printer. Some printers may accept a compatible cartridge, whilst others may not. Nevertheless, they are both as reliable as one another are; it is still good to know before buying. To clarify the difference, an Original is manufactured by the same brand as your printer. Whether it’s a Canon Printer, Dell Printer, HP Printer, Lexmark or any other brand, this list will surely help guide you when buying ink.

E.g. if you own a Canon printer, you will find that Canon has already manufactured a specific cartridge for this printer. A compatible cartridge is when a cartridge is manufactured by a third-party for your printer.

E.g. a Canon cartridge that is not manufactured by Canon. Some may argue that buying a compatible is much better if bought from the right place, as it is the most common and most affordable option for many.

**Will using an InknToner UK non-genuine original cartridge affect my printer’s warranty?**

No, using non-genuine original cartridges will not void your printer’s warranty. All of our cartridges will match or exceed the performance of OEM cartridges. In addition, they will be at a significantly lower price, giving you the best value possible.

Are page yields important to look into before buying a cartridge?

What are page yields?

Page yields are an estimate of how many pages can be printed with your printer cartridge. These page yields will always vary depending on the ink or toner coverage of the documents you are trying to print.

The page yield will be determined by how often you replace your cartridges. The higher the page yields the less replacements you will need. This makes it more cost efficient for you in the end and will help your printer running smoothly.

Should I buy standard or high capacity?

The difference between High Capacity and standard capacity is that a standard capacity contains less ink and is less expensive than the high yielded cartridge (high capacity). This is because a high yielded cartridge contains more ink and will usually print more pages at a better value.

Electricity Bills going up!

Featured

Posted on March 25, 2022 by Rawan

As you may already know, our electricity bills are increasing. Should we aim to live our lives like everyone else in the 18^th / 19^th century? The most reliable times being when electricity was just invented and social media never existed… any power cuts? You could still read a newspaper; still write letters, submitting your homework by hand etc. Not to say that either of these are bad things, it is just better to be reliable, especially when you have an important task to complete. The good thing about investing in paper is that you would not be facing any of these issues when the electricity bill increases.

Not only is electricity bills increasing but also due to inflation, everything has gone up by 5% in the market. Realistically, it feels like the inflation has gone up by 20%! This has influenced everyone greatly by this, whether you own a business, work in a business or if you are just a buyer. Why not save some money and invest in compatible cartridges? Whether you need to print your homework or even photocopy your documents! We value your time and money because we always aim to consider our customers and do our best to assist you on buying the best-valued products on our market/industry.

However, how can you tell if an Ink Cartridge is a compatible?

On our website, we label the compatibles through the titles of the product. You may miss this, so the best way to identify a compatible cartridge is from the box design. You’ll notice that original cartridges will have all the details including the logo. However, the easiest method would be to type in your printer model or cartridge on our search or quick finder. When you do this, all of your options should appear. Look for the compatible cartridge and when you do that, adding your cartridge to the cart should be straight forward. You could save yourself money and your compatible inks will fit into your printer the same way as originals. The quality is almost identical, you are saving the planet and you get more prints!

Here are the most popular Ink and Toner cartridges that may fit well with your printer;-

HP 12A (Q2612A) Toner Cartridge
HP 21 C9351 Inkjet Cartridge
Epson 603 Ink Cartridge (Starfish)
HP 65 / HP 304XL Cartridge

The list goes on…

We sell all the originals too. If you want to be safe and still rely on original cartridges there’s still the option to do so too. We hope that this blog helped in terms of affordability and time management.
