How do you reset the printer cartridges for HP Deskjet D1420?

April 10th, 2013 7 comments

I have a HP Deskjet D1420 and I have refilled the cartridges (HP 22 and HP 22). The printer continues to read them as low or empty and will not print properly. Does anyone have a hack to reset the printer or printer cartridges to either read full or not read at all.

If you want to trash your printer, refill your printer cartridges. I have repair printers with refills cartridges, they just leak ink all over the place. Plug up your print head and sometimes you get ink smears because the ink does no dry right. In other words, you do not save any money because you ruin your printer.

Other cheap solution is to purchase out date cartridges, they still work just fine for me. On some printer cartridges have IC which needs reset by special machine when you refill your cartridges.

I need simple instructions on how to fill my cartridge?

January 30th, 2013 3 comments

I bought a NCR Universal Black inkjet refill kit and I need some simple instructions on how to do that as I’m clueless and it’s my first time. I have a HP Deskjet printer and my HP cartridge is 21.

How-to refill your ink cartridge

The following is included in a typical Printer Cartridge Refill Kit : ink bottles, syringes and detailed instructions. Some kits include an air balance clip for balancing the air inside the cartridge to ensure proper ink flow. Some kits also include hand-drill tool to make a hole in the top of your empty cartridge.
Refilling Process

1. To start the refilling process, fill the syringe with one of the ink colors over the sink or several sheets of scrap paper to prevent any mess. Different printers hold different amounts of ink. In most Epson printers, the black cartridge holds approximately 17 ml and the color cartridges hold approximately 8 ml. See the instructions with your refill kit to see how much ink your cartridges can hold.

2. Before inserting the needle, make a small hole in the top of the cartridge (one for each color chamber). The hole is at the top of the cartridge near the label. Simply push the needle through the hole and press to the bottom of the cartridge towards the outlet hole. It’s important to fill the cartridge slowly so as to avoid the ink from foaming and introducing air in the chamber.

3. You do not need to seal the refill holes since there are already breather holes on the top of the <b> Printer Cartridge </b>.

4. Any unused ink can be put back in the bottle. You should clean the syringe with water and dry it properly to do the same process for the other cartridges or for future use. You can also label each syringe for the different colors so that each syringe is only used with one color. Even you can Buy Printer Cartridges at discount anywhere in united states

5. Once you place the cartridge back in the printer, run the cleaning cycle 1 to 3 times. If there are any gaps in the printing, run the cleaning cycle again.

Don’t Forget

There are a few things to remember when refilling your cartridge. It should be refilled before the cartridge is completely empty to avoid the chamber from drying out and clogging. Also, it is a good idea to let the printer cartridge sit for a few hours (or overnight) so that the pressure in the cartridge will stabilize.

Some printers, like newer Epson models, have a green chip on their ink cartridges which is visible by looking at your cartridge. They are often referred to as "Intellidge" cartridges. The chip keeps track of how often the cartridge is used and lets the computer know when the cartridge may be low or empty. As long as you reset the chip, refilling the cartridge with ink from a refill kit will not be a problem. A resetting tool can be used to reset the memory on the chip. This allows the printer to recognize the cartridge as being full which makes printing with a refilled cartridge possible.

Refilling cartridges are simple enough, but at times refilled ink cartridges may work, but mostly not. Most printers will not recognize refilled ink cartridges. Once the ink is exhausted, the chip expires. Refilling them may be a costly gamble on your part. So to save you any grief, it may be advantageous on your part to just replace the ink cartridge..

can the introductory catridge of HP deskjet printer D2568 refillable?

can the introductory catridge of HP deskjet printer D2568 refillable? I refilled the catridge but the software shows that it is still empty. And prints are not coming. a little print comes when the catridge shakes before put in the printer.

The cartridges are fully refillable. The computer will show that the cartridge is empty as it reads the copper plate on the cartridge. According to the computer it has already used the cartridge and it has to be empty for it.

Try buying an original HP cartridge, however the printer should continue printing while it is still showing the error message

A Little Info About Print and Ink Cartridges

May 24th, 2012 No comments

Printer ink cartridges are the necessary accessories for every printer and have only been on the market for a little over 19 years. Modern printing capabilities have spurred many types of equipment that are appropriate for home or office use. It is possible to print a high quality looking brochure, letterhead or business cards from using a basic inkjet printer that uses colour printer cartridges. Other than a good computer, the important piece of equipment that is needed for any venture such as desktop publishing is a quality printing system. Inkjet and laser printers are both used for many home offices, but laser printers produce the best quality for serious desktop publishers.
Manufacturers know that most of their money will be made with replacement printer ink cartridges that do not last for very long. Equipment that only uses black ink is not as expensive to operate since black cartridges are not as expensive. Printing equipment that uses both black and colour ink incur more cost to operate primarily because colour printer cartridges are more expensive than black plus both colours must be purchased in order to operate properly.

While a typical colour printing system might cost under £100 to purchase, the ink alone could cost well over £30 each. This shopping dilemma has led to competitive methods that provide other ways of finding ink for printers. Some consumers attempt to be very frugal and decide to fill their own empty cartridges with ink from refill kits. While this is definitely cheaper, the quality sometimes is not up to par and there are times when a reinstalled cartridge may not work.

Choosing this method is also messy so finding an alternative to retail pricing is where recycled or discount refills have found a major niche. Recycled printer ink cartridges can be purchased from many online sources that offer good prices for quality ink refills. Recycled units can be found from some manufacturers as well as other retail businesses. Make sure, however, that the refills are the right model numbers since there is a wide diversity of printing equipment that uses differing sizes.
If you are looking for cheap ink cartridges for your printer then try looking for compatible unbranded cartridges.

 

Laser printing systems use ink in a different format than inkjet printers and are quite expensive. Units for printing in laser systems are called laser toner cartridges and are replaced according to which of the four toners needs refilling first. There are generally four toners in a typical laser system and each toner may need refilling at a separate time; unlike colour printer ink cartridges for an inkjet printer, which will need to be replaced even if only the red ink is gone. Even though laser accessories are more expensive, the toners are completely used up before they are replaced. Simply put, most typical home and school users go with moderately priced inkjet printers for acceptable quality and ease of use while businesses may choose laser equipment for better quality productions.

5 Ways to Save Money at the Office

Office supplies and the office in general can quickly become just another task that can get in the way of dealing with everyday tasks. On top of that, the office supply budget can become viewed more on the needs list then the wants list, thus causing the person in charge of office supplies to neglect searching for great prices and cost saving alternatives. The problem that may come when searching for office supplies are that there are many resellers offering what appear to be similar items, at similar prices, and when time is a crunch, most often someone from the office will have to be rushed out to the local office supply store to pick up a replacement toner cartridge or a ream of paper. With some simple planning and intuitiveness, an office can save money and be more prepared with less down time and more productivity.

1. Compatible Ink Cartridges & Compatible Toner Cartridges

If you have tried to save money at all in your office environment, no doubt have you come across the compatible ink cartridges and compatible toner cartridges, and probably even the refills. Compatible ink and toner cartridges can be a great way to save money over the expensive Genuine OEM cartridges that printer manufacturer’s offer. Generally compatible or remanufactured cartridges can save you 50% or more compared to the OEM printer cartridges. It is important though to not always look for the best deal when buying generic cartridges. Many people who purchase the cheapest cartridges possible on sites such as Ebay, have problems with the cartridges not performing like they should, with toner lines through the pages or ink not printing correctly on the pages. The best way to save money is by finding a reputable reseller of compatible and or remanufactured cartridges and pay just a little bit for the quality assurance. For example, online retailers such as Professor Ink offer a 12 month warranty on all products sold through them.

2. Recycle paper that has only been printed on one side

The next way to save money in your office is to use your own method of recycling paper. Depending on the office type, you could either print a lot of pages that are used for internal use only, for a short period of time, or you could print paper and have it used for clients use. For the first case, many companies will just print on one side of the page, and then throw the paper away. The best way to save money is to start a pile that has all of the printed sides of paper facing down, and then once you have a decent size stack left, insert them into your printer, so that the other side of the page can then be printed on. If used effectively, this method could essential cut your paper usage in half.

3. Turn off computers or put in Stand-By mode when you leave for the day

The next way to save money at the office is to simply turn off your computer or put it into stand-by mode at the end of the day. This can be a simple habit to get into and can save the company money on utility costs since less power will be used. Turning off the monitor is a good start, but by turning the computer off, or by putting it in stand-by mode will save even more electricity.

4. Replace your old printer

The next tip is to analyze how often you use your printer, and to examine the cost the consumables, such as printer ink and toner cartridges. One example could be that if you are using an inkjet printer, most of the cartridges will only print between a few hundred pages before needing to be replaced. If your office does much printing at all, you should consider upgrading to a laser printer. Printers such as the HP Laserjet 10150 use the HP Q2612A toner cartridge which an OEM cartridge from HP would cost about $69. Professor Ink offers the compatible version of the HP Q2612A for only $21.99, and the cartridge is estimate to print about 2,000 pages, as opposed to inkjet cartridges which print about 200. Doing some simply math and we find out that with the compatible HP Q2612A toner cartridge, the price per page is only $0.01, where the ink cartridge price per page is about $0.06. So in this case, the inkjet cartridge price is almost 6 times more expensive then the laser printer with a toner cartridge.

5. Buy office supplies in bulk

The final tip is to consider purchasing office supplies in bulk. Generally purchasing anything in bulk will always save money. Consider purchasing paper, toner cartridges, ink pens, sticky note pads, and even computer systems in bulk to save additional money.

After utilizing some or all of these 5 ways to save money at the office, you should be well on your way to doing your part to help the company out. Make sure to let the boss know if your achievements as well, hey maybe you will get a raise.

Who Invented the First Inkjet Printer? the History of Inkjet Printers

February 14th, 2012 No comments

No single person can be credited with the invention of the first inkjet printer. However, we can safely say that it was invented in 1976 but did not enter the popular consciousness until 1988 when Hewlett Packard released the DeskJet Printer and marketed it like a home consumer item. It must be said, however, that buying this printer and the printer cartridges was not everybody’s cup of tea as it was priced at around $1000. A steep price indeed!

The Inkjet Revolution

If you compare the inkjet printer in use today to those that were launched some twenty years ago, you will find that they have indeed come a long way since then. Though they arrived in the stores in the 1980s; it was way back in the 1970s, that printer companies recognized the fact that the ink based printers were the way forward and this technology would be revolutionary in nature. They began the process of developing printers and printer cartridges. The initial challenge for the company was not only to concentrate on quality but also on affordability. Siemens invented a popular inkjet printer model in 1977 and it became quite popular amongst businesses and organizations. The biggest benefits of this printer were that it sprayed ink only when necessary and were not very expensive.

A Few Challenges

A major challenge faced by printer developers with regards to this type of printers was the fact that the flow of ink from the print head to the page needed to be controlled. This required cutting edge technological research not only in terms of the printers but also the printer cartridges. Initially the dried ink, clogged the printer head, and even the IBM strategy to use electrically charged droplets for coating the pages with ink was not successful and lacked consumer appeal. This challenge was tackled by two companies namely Hewlett-Packard and Canon. They introduced the inkjet printer in the market that used liquid ink, held in cartridges. These became vastly popular and this technology is still in use today.

The Inkjet Cartridges

An article on these printers won’t be complete without mentioning the role of printer ink cartridges in the scheme of things. It is the ink cartridges that played a stellar role in the increasing popularity of these printers. Printer cartridges are the core element of each and very printer and they have also gone through a long and evolved process of development, side by side with the printers. Without the development of printer ink cartridges there would be no inkjet printers. It’s as simple as that.

As can be seen, the whole process of developing a printer is long and goes through a long period of trial and error. This is one of prime reasons why so many companies have contributed to the development of printing technology.

Modern society is dependent on printers. If they were absent, our workplaces would not be able to operate normally.
