How do ink cartridges work?

June 27th, 2013 4 comments

I am thinking to buy a printer (hp deskjet ink advantage k209g). When i see the printer specifications, i see that it supports hp tricolour cartridge. It has three colours. How do i print pages which are having colours other than that in the cartridge ? Please help me soon.

HP was known for good printers. Lately they’re know for expensive printers and even more expensive ink. HP is the only company which:
1) puts an expiration date in the chip of the cartridge. You can insert a new sealed cartridge and have the printer reject it because it is expired
2) changes the size of the cartridges to make them smaller but keeps the same model number. You buy a cartridge at the store which is the same model your printer came with only to discover the cartridge wont fit because it is the other version.
I won’t even go into details on their terrible tech support, run by Indians with thick accents who read off a script and can solve nothing.
There are a lot of HP fans who bought their printers years ago when they were still good. It will take a while before people realize how much worse the company has become.

As for having all three colors on one cartridge, this is also a bad idea. Assume the cartridge can hold 20 ml of ink. Now it has to hold 3 colors so you are lucky if you get 6 ml of each. Then if any one of them runs out, the whole cartridge has to be replaced. What a waste. With individual color cartridges you get 20 ml of each color and you only replace the one which is out.

Epson wins for best price/feature comparison, best warranty and lowest cost of ink. You can’t beat their warranty. If anything goes wrong, they will fedex a replacement and pick up the old one at their expense. You can get ink for under 50 cents a cartridge at www.ccs-digital.com. You pay under 2.50 for reusable cartridges and then get $2 back for the empties. Or you can buy refillables (which is what Im using now) and refill yourself for pennies. Take a look at the workforce 3520 and 3540. They have received rave reviews from people who bought them.

HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 2010 Printer Series K010 is the most popular inkjet printer that I have ever come across. Loaded with fine features and ink efficient HP cartridges, this printer has all the reasons to be termed as the winner. It weighs just 2kgs and the dimensions of 4217 mm x 380 mm x 266 mm make it quite portable.

It inkjet printer has the potential to produce documents up to 20 pages per minute of monochromatic print, and up to 16 pages per minute of color prints. That was about Draft mode, and in Best mode you can obtain rich texts and images at speed up to 5.5 pages per minute (B&W) and 4 pages per minute (color).
