In today's high tech world, both homes and business make use of the internet and printers. The internet has opened the world to everyone and modern printers enable him or her to easily reproduce what has been typed on the computer screen. These printers require certain inks or toners to produce the print, depending on the model purchased.
Whether used by a business or a consumer, it is possible to produce images that are clearly and accurately reproduced. Cartridges are available in both black and colors and are excellent for producing graphics or other intricate details. They also make it possible to produce large quantities of print, which is desirable for small businesses.
Printers and cartridges have a long history. After twenty years of experimentation, they first appeared on the market in the late 1980's. Delay caused by problems such as controlling the ink flow from the print head to the paper were difficult to overcome. In addition, there was the high price of printers and cartridges. Fortunately, these problems have been solved which makes it possible to have an excellent copy of anything being composed on a computer.
Printer users have found that these cartridges are an inexpensive and viable solution for any type of reproduction they wish to make. What used to cost many dollars, to reproduce quantity copies at a commercial print shop, can now be accomplished for as little as one cent a copy, depending on the model of printer and type of ink.
The use of the ink in a cartridge is not just confined to reproducing copy or photos. Many different printers have a self-cleaning head, which uses ink. It is also subjected to pressure and heat of up to 300 degrees before it travels through the small hole in the print head to hit the paper and be instantly dry.
A random sampling of 33 black cartridges in various printer models showed a yield ranging from 175 to 2,400 reproductions. The average number of pages was 661 depending on the type of printer being used. For the home computer user this is usually adequate but small businesses usually purchase the larger and more expensive printer in order to produce more copies.
Ink cartridges are available in various commercial stores as well as online. This makes it convenient to quickly replace one that has depleted its ink supply. A new cartridge should be purchased when the printer indicates a replacement is needed.
