Best Printers for Professional use

Featured

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.

How to avoid security breaches

Featured

Every company has to be extra cautious in terms of security breaches, as it has become a norm for hackers in today’s society. Major damage can be done to computers and even printers by a simple installation of malicious hardware. As most printers today are multi-functional and have wireless capability, everyone often uses them. This can render them vulnerable to viruses and hacking. With wireless networks, allow users to send data meaning it is easier for hackers to meddle with. There is a chance that your printed files may still be stored into the print queue, exposing you to more security threats. If your printer is not secure than anyone who wants to breach the network and acquire your company’s information can do so. To avoid this from happening, you need to make sure that your internal Wi-Fi connections are safeguarded with security software.

Security

Printers from HP

HP Enterprise printers include software that protects the device and detects assaults automatically. These printers can even ‘self-heal’ after being infected with a virus!

Printers from Samsung

To prevent unauthorised access to multifunction printers, Samsung printers have a Secure Login Manager. You may create an extra security barrier for picture files or other stored documents by configuring ID and passwords as well as PINs to access the system. Furthermore, a Confidential Print function accounts for the possibility of leaving printed documents unattended on the printer, where they might be picked up by anyone. Samsung printers keep submitted jobs until the intended receiver arrives. Only by entering a PIN code can the task be safely sent to the correct hands.

Printers manufactured by Xerox

To prevent unauthorised access from hackers, Xerox recommends McAfee software. The ConnectKey programme notifies you that the files on your printer have been tampered with.

It also has settings to lessen the need for manual software upgrades to deal with potential risks.

Cisco is another suggested software for Xerox printers. It provides secure external email connectivity that encrypts data flow between multifunction printers and externally hosted mail servers. This implies that while transmitting digital files, mail servers are safeguarded.

What is the difference in buying XL and standard cartridges?

Featured

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!

Ink Cartridges

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 to spot fake Ink Cartridges!

Featured

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. 

SCAM Image

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.

Dog fed by HP Printer

I know what you are thinking. What? How? Well, read on to find out.

One morning, Nat Morris, an IT consultant woke up and said, while I’m working, I can’t feed my dog Toby. What should I do? I know what! I shall create a device, that does it for me! Mr Morris decided to use his IT skills and knowledge wisely to create and implement a dog feeding device, in addition, powered by HP printer motor.

How does HP printer feed Toby?

This is the amazing part of the whole device. The HP printer dog feeding device (or whatever you want to call it) is triggered by a social network application Twitter. Once Mr Morris decides to feed Toby, he sends a tweet, the sound alerts Toby that the goodies are about to be released. Then, the food goes down the pipe and is served into Toby’s bowl and vuala. To top the brilliant device off, there is also a CCTV camera attached to it allowing Mr Morris to witness his dog dining.

After successfully creating the device that most of the dog-owners can only dream about, this is what Nat Morris had to say:

“Toby absolutely loves it. At first, he didn’t know what was going on. Now he sits underneath, wagging his tail waiting for the treats to drop. People have been sending him food at all hours of the day, so I had to limit it to between nine in morning and nine in the evening.”

InkNTonerUK can’t feed your dog. However, we can certainly feed you with unlimited amount of ink and toner cartridges. However, if you want to feed Toby, you can tweet to Toby @FeedToby on Twitter.

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.

Students’ Choice – Ink Cartridge Refill


Students often need to make sure you have enough ink in your printer to get those assignments in on time. Today, it’s more crucial than ever.

When you buy an ink cartridge, it seems only a short while until you need to buy another in order to print out what you need. Being a student makes it more stressful when you have several pieces of work all to be handed in at the same time, so having an ink cartridge that you can refill is always useful.

Students today need an easy option for printing their important coursework off, and so it makes sense to refill an ink cartridge and pay less than you would buying a brand new one. With students on a budget and already buckling under the pressure of a student loan, it is much cheaper and more convenient to refill ink cartridges.

Ink Cartridge Refill - The Students' Choice

Why Would A Student Need An Ink Cartridge?

There are many reasons why a student would need an ink cartridge, not least for the ease and convenience:

  • Most Universities now request typed work as opposed to handwritten, and they will often not accept anything other than professionally printed copies.
  • Using the University or College library is difficult – there are always less computers compared to the number of students on campus, and it is time-consuming trying to find a free computer to do your work on.
  • There are often student charges for printing work in colour at University
  • No margin for error – if you print something off in the University library and find a spelling error, it will cost you once more to print it again, particularly if it is in colour.

With this in mind, most students are now taking their own desktop computers or laptops to keep in their room on the University campus. This minimises the need for struggling to find a free computer in the library. With a computer in the students’ room, a printer is essential. Making sure you have the ink cartridge you need is also crucial, so finding a company that can refill them for you is a much cheaper and more environmentally friendly option than going out and buying a new branded ink cartridge.

Ink Cartridge – Refill At Your Convenience

For many, refilling an ink cartridge is the way forward and this is now a popular option that many companies are offering. If you are unsure about getting an ink cartridge refill, why not give it a go next time you run out of ink. All you need to do is send off your empty ink cartridge and then wait to receive it back, refilled and ready to go! It couldn’t be simpler. So, if you want to eliminate at least some of the student stress, make sure you refill your next ink cartridge.
