Featured

Konica Minolta has recently been listed among the “2023 Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World”. This is the 6th time 5th year in a row that it has been placed on the list, once in 2011 and then from 2019-2022! The list is announced every year by Corporate Knights at the World Economic Forum (WEF) Meeting.

More than 6,000 Companies with more than $1 Billion income worldwide have been taken into account when ranking the most sustainable 100. Things like environmental, social and governance indicators were evaluated in detail as well as the promotion of diversity and innovation along with the percentage of eco-friendly products that have sold. Konica Minolta ranks first out of four Japanese companies found on the Sustainability List.

Since 2003, Konica Minolta has considered sustainability to be very important and focusing on environmental issues has always benefited them. Konica Minolta Business Solutions’ Senior Vice President (Marketing) in the USA, Kay Fernandez said that even as Konica Minolta enters their 150th year of business, the company still remains committed to innovating for the benefit of customers and the good of society and the world.”

Konica Minolta is proud to be once again recognised for their “continual efforts to be a leader in social and environmental sustainability”.

Epson’s Second Environmental Campaign!

Featured

For the second consecutive year, Epson is focusing on raising awareness about global warming through another, second Environmental Campaign. This year, the environmental campaign also focuses on the work of National Geographic Explorer and ecologist Professor Isla Myers-Smith, who has studied the impact of climate change on the Arctic tundra for almost 20 years.

Epson's Second Environmental Campaign focuses on the Arctic

Observations made by Professor Myers-Smith and her colleagues indicate plants and greenery are more frequent in the Arctic, where permafrost is decreasing. Additionally, the warm temperatures cause Arctic permafrost to disappear. This therefore releases CO2 (a greenhouse gas), which accelerates global warming and speeds up disappearance of permafrost in the Arctic. The growth of taller, denser plants, captures snow and warms the ground causing more release of carbon into the atmosphere!

Scientists predict the world’s permafrost will substantially decrease by 2100. A January 2022 study predicted the amount of carbon released by melting permafrost could be 624,000,000 tons per year!

Prof. Myers-Smith states that we can change statistics by doing things like saving energy, finding alternative ways to travel to work etc.

Blase Day with InknTonerUK!

Featured

Today, a strange event is taking place. Many people around the world are celebrating Blase Day, an annual event. How?

Blase Day releases negative emotions and opens up a door for people to feel displeasure with things they find unimpressive.

The name of this odd celebration originates from the French word ‘blase’. Someone described as ‘blase’ is difficult to impress and indifferent to things (usually because they have experienced them before. For example, they have already had many interesting and exciting life experiences). So a ‘blase’ person is difficult to impress and harder to please. The French word has been used to name this day because of the ties it has to the French who can be identified as quite ‘blase’ at times, since they have a very rich culture and are no longer often impressed by artwork or other aspects of culture. This makes this day very suitable for people who adopt this distinct mindset.

The Day comes from the French word 'blase'.

Being blase does not mean someone is unenthusiastic or rude, but rather being less expressive with emotions and not as dramatic.

Celebrating Blase Day

Celebrate today by being blase yourself! Today, you don’t need to fake enthusiasm in things you have no interest in. It’s a perfect way to complain about things you find unimpressive.

Blase Day 2022 at InknTonerUK!

Celebrate Blase Day in your own way and use #BlaseDay to document all the things you find boring. Maybe you’ll find someone who agrees with you and also finds a distaste in the same things you do.

What happens when your Ink dries up

Featured

As bizarre as it sounds, Ink can “expire” and it dries up. It all depends on the temperature, whether it is stored in cold or hot conditions. We never think to check to see if our pasta noodles have expired because we know that it usually lasts long, but regardless of how long it lasts, the quality of the pasta is not so great over some time. Like pasta noodles, Inks and Toners can last up to a very long time. They carry preservatives that make the shelf life last much longer. You can expect Toners to last longer than Ink, as with Toners the electro-magnetic process in laser printers is more precise.

Ink Cartridges dry up slow. Therefore, it is best to print out your documents when you know the Ink is still wet. For any reason you may find that the quality of your prints are going bad, it is because the wet ink is drying up and you have parts that are wet and you have parts that are dry. If it is too dry than, the print job will not go through.

Ink Cartridge

Your cartridges should be stored in good conditions. If they are, then they should still be able to work after the “expiration date” has passed. The best way to take care of your printer cartridges is to have your cartridges stored upright so that the sponge stays moist and in a sealed airtight container. As obvious as it may sound, keep your cartridges away from sunlight! Your cartridges have many very harmful chemicals and you don’t want to risk dealing with any possible hazards from this. So if you’re storing them somewhere, it should be stored in a dark space like a cabinet or drawer.

Money Back or Exchange Warranty at InknTonerUK

Although you can save by purchasing from e-retailers like eBay, it’s important to be certain you can use them. Also, equally important, making sure they’re not faulty. Your printer should let you know if there is something wrong with your Ink or Toner cartridges. It is always safer to buy from a reliable Ink shop. With InknToner UK, you are promised quality Originals and Compatible Inks and ‘Money Back or Exchange Warranty’ on your products.

The Money Back or Exchange Warranty allows you to receive warranty within 6 months when you purchase our products. That’s including compatibles! All of the products you are returning must be discussed with us prior. All returns have to be in their relevant packaging and include a note, which states your order number. It is important to also note down if you would prefer an exchange or a refund.

Even though warranty is available, it’s still important to take proper care of your Inks. It will have a longer shelf life and there will be less of a hassle to deal with for you.

We hope we’ve informed you enough about what to do when ink dries and how to avoid ink drying. If your or someone else you know ink dries again and you don’t know or remember what to do, you know where to find this Blog Post!
