Printer cartridges: technology and types

Toner cartridges contain two consumable parts, the toner cartridge itself (which has a typical life of 2000 pages) and the drum unit (a typical life of 40,000 pages).  . Toner cartridges contain toner powder, a fine, dry mixture of plastic particles, carbon, and black or other colouring agents that make the actual image on the paper.

A laser beam projects the image of page being printed on the electrically charged rotating drums coated with organic photoconductors. Powdered toner particles are then electrostatically picked up by the drum’s charged areas, which have not been exposed to the laser beam. The drum then prints the image on the paper by direct contact and heat, which fuse the ink to the paper.

Toner cartridges can be expensive, sometimes exceeding the cost of cheaper laser printers. As a result some people dispose of the printer when it is out of toner (thereby negating any "green" or "eco friendly" claims made by the manufactures) and replace the entire machine. Ironically, new machines generally come with toners that are only ⅓ full. Consumers also can opt to buy generic brand laser toners, manufactured by companies other than the printer manufacturer. These toners are widely available at a fraction of the price of the genuine brand replacement. Toner refill kits are also an option, allowing the consumer to simply refill an empty cartridge.

Genuine cartridges

These are manufactured by printer manufacturers . they offers certain guarantees when you use genuine brand toner in your printer and makes certain threats if you don't, voiding warranty is a typical accusation made, although in many countries this is illegal. Genuine cartridges are more expensive than refills, compatibles or re-manufactured cartridges, however you can reduce the difference in price dramatically by purchasing cartridges from a specialist retailer such as ebargainshop.

Remanufactured  cartridges

A process by which the OEM  or other compatible cartridge is dismantled after the first use. Any worn or defective parts are replaced and the cartridge is cleaned . Then it is refilled with toner. The remanufacturing process differs from one factory to another , as well as the quality of toner that the cartridge is filled with .These are important factors to be taken into account when purchasing remanufactured toner cartridges because they can ultimately lead to leaking , printer malfunction or even damaging the printer altogether.

At ebargainshop we make sure that we supply cheap cartridges remanufactured ay  ISO 9000 certified factories . Also, the toner powder refilled is of superior quality.

Compatible also known as "Generic" or "Alternative Brand"

These cartridges are manufactured from scratch, they are not used cartridges that have been refilled or re-manufactured. They are produced by a third party companies and sold under different brand names. Often compatible cartridges may vary slightly in look, design and page yield to their genuine counterparts due to certain patents that restrict the exact copying of designs. Although some might say these generic cartridges are less reliable, they are undoubtedly a cost-effective alternative to the genuine article and many have exceeded the quality of the OEM. They can also be manufactured to contain more toner powder  than the OEM versions, depending on the design of the cartridge itself (and cost aspects as well).

Re-manufactured toner printer cartridges

We should grateful to re-manufactured toner printer cartridges

In the recent years , the world is suffering from the economic recession especially United Kingdom and rest of Europe  so we all want to cut out cost at zero level, but we are unable to do so, in day to day life our needs are so high that we are unable to think from where we can save money. In office to home there are a lots of things on which we spend money, and in some case we are unable to cut the cost but in the printing cost we can cut it almost 60 to 80 % from the using of remanufactured printer cartridges online. As you know printer are two kinds Laserjet Printer and Inkjet Printer, in the previous one toner printer cartridges are used while in the inkjet printer inks are used.  For both types of printer remanufactured printer cartridges are available in the market of United Kingdome. I don’t think it is necessary to explain here that different types of printers need different type’s number of cartridge like HP cm1215 printer needs CB540a toner cartridge.

Quality of remanufactured printer cartridges

Obviously we also think about the quality of the product which is going to buy but in the case of remanufactured printer cartridge we are assuring you, it will give you 100% output like original printer cartridge give.

 

What about Printer Warranty?

Though the manufactures threaten to void your printer warranties if you use compatible and remanufactured cartridges, it is illegal for them to do so when you use refilled and recycled cartridges. You can buy remanufactured and refilled cartridges with complete piece of mind because the manufacturers cannot void your warranty for simply using the refilled and remanufactured cartridges. They may, however, cancel your warranty for using compatible cartridges. So it is advisable to use caution while using ‘compatible cartridge’ if you are under warranty and unsure of the results.

You may be told that your warranty could be void if the damage to your printer is attributable to the recycled cartridge you use. Please note that the cartridge inks do not touch any part of the printer except the cartridge and print head. So you can now challenge the manufacturers who do not want you to use cost effective way of printing. Remember! Your economical way of printing is a ‘green-way’ of printing.

Use of Toner and Ink Cartridges

Unlike the printer toner cartridges, ink cartridges are perishable. If you don’t use ink cartridge every 4 to 7 days, your ink will dry.

Ink cartridge users may not always be aware that ink can also dry even without using it.

Careful Print Commands

User of ink cartridges sometimes gives the print command without having a look at page preview. In Microsoft Office 2007 and 2010, it is under the print command that, when you click on it, you will able to click on page preview. Looking at page preview will help you save ink cartridges because it will tell you whether you are printing within the right format and it will save you making mistakes and wasting inks and papers. Because if there is any mistake you can solve it within preview, but once you hit the ctrl + p key without proper format, you can waste the ink as well as paper.
