Ireland's Best Value HP364 Compatible Ink Cartridges

The HP 364 ink cartridge is one of the most used ink cartridges in Ireland today used in over 50 different models of HP Printer. The highly successful Photosmart range is probably HP's most popular inkjet printer in Ireland. The Photosmart printer uses four HP 364 ink cartridges; Black, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow. The standard cartridges unfortunately are not as good value as the high capacity or XL version.

The original brand HP364Xl as you might expect holds double the amount of ink as the standard cartridge (approximately 550 pages). The real savings are with the compatible version of the cartridge with double AGAIN of the ink volume. The compatible HP364XL cartridge is filled to capacity and will hold enough ink to print approximate twice the amount of pages of the original brand cartridge.

How is this everyone will ask? Well, to put it in simple terms, the HP 364 cartridge is filled with different volumes of ink depending on whether it is intended for use as a standard or high capacity ink. The original brand standard ink cartridges is filled with enough ink to print 250 pages and the XL version filled with enough ink to print around 550 pages at 5% coverage. Still, these cartridges are not filled to the top and it’s only when the compatible version is manufactured that the ink tank is filled to the very top and we get enough ink to print around 1100 pages! This constantly causes confusion among Photosmart owners as they assume that the compatible cartridges that hold all this extra ink are physically bigger and won’t fit in the printer.

The compatible ink cartridge is becoming more widely used and is now available ‘chipped’ and that means the cartridge recognition by the printer is no longer the issue it once was. The savings on the cost of using a compatible HP364 cartridge against the original brand, taking into account the ink volume, is roughly 100%. More and more users are making the switch to compatible especially with the great incentives on offer to buy the compatibles such as free gifts or free ink cartridges.

The availability of the compatible cartridges has revolutionised the way we buy HP364 ink cartridges with the benefit coming down on the side of the printer owner for a change.

Top 10 Tips on How to Find the Best Value Ink Cartridges in Dublin

Finding the best value ink cartridges in Dublin has becoming increasingly more important as businesses and home users alike seek to save on the cost of their printing. Cleverly using the right search terms on Google is a good way to find the cartridge you require at the best price available

1. Most people would automatically think of putting in their printer model or cartridge number into Google to find the ink cartridge they require. While this will bring you a result that is specific to your printer, with a limited number of suppliers, you are better to use a more general search term to bring up a list of suppliers to choose from.


2. Try search for ‘ink cartridges Dublin’. These simple three words will bring you up all the ink cartridge suppliers either based in Dublin or who are confident that they can supply you as though they were. By this I mean that they are probably able to supply your ink cartridges next day so for all intents and purposes they are ‘virtually’ in Dublin.


3. ‘Ink cartridges Dublin’ would be a very popular search term and a lot of on-line suppliers would be aware of this and have their websites optimised to make sure you find them when you are searching.


4. Next, another obvious search term would be ‘Printer ink in Dublin’. This search term will bring you results similar to ink cartridges Dublin with all the on-line suppliers again realising that this is a popular search term.


5. Any supplier of ink cartridges who has the words printer ink in their website name is also likely to appear on page one of Google and will likely be near the top of the list when you search for printer ink in Dublin.


6. Printer cartridges Dublin is the next search term that will bring good results. Some people will use this search term when searching for ink and toner. Those with laser toner printers are more likely to use this search term and again it will bring up plenty of choice for the consumer in the search results.


7. Many people don’t want to keep buying ink and toner cartridges and prefer to try to have their ink cartridges refilled. This is certainly an eco friendly way of buying your ink and toner and a popular search term for those seeking this would be cartridge refill Dublin. This will bring you the results for those high street ink shops that offer cartridge refill in Dublin and is a more direct way of targeting your particular needs.


8. Of course a big factor for most people is the price of the ink cartridges in Dublin and some consumers may want to price around before they actually buy.

10. If you want to narrow your search further, for example you may only be interested in compatible ink cartridges, you can always prefix any of the above search terms with the word compatible. In essence though, most of the online suppliers today supply more compatible ink than original brand and that is where the bargains are to be found.

10 Reasons to Choose Compatible Ink Cartridges

There are certainly many good reasons why we should choose compatible ink cartridges over original brand. To those of us it is fairly obvious but to those new to compatible ink and toner I have listed some of the benefits below.

1. Firstly, the price will make a big difference in the budget to anyone printing on a regular basis. Compatibles can save you up to 70% on the cost of original brand cartridges.


2. Compatible ink and toner are now manufactured to the highest quality matching the ISO standards set by the original brand manufacturers. Many suppliers of compatibles have a failure rate of less than 1%.


3. As part of the quality control, the cartridges are tested regularly by supplier in their own printers to ensure compatibility and the investigation of any issues that might arise with particular brands. For example, if there are issues with HP 364 ink cartridges the top on-line suppliers will endeavour to have a selection of these cartridges tested regularly for compatibility and recognition.


4. There are two types of compatible ink. Firstly there is the compatible inkjet cartridge and the ink tank. Without wanting to over complicate matters, the basic difference is that with the inkjet the print head is attached to the cartridge and the ink tank cartridge has the print head located in the printer.


5. Most cartridges nowadays are manufactured with pigment based inks ensuring high quality printouts.


6. Typically and in the case of the HP364 cartridges, much research has gone into the remanufacturing of the cartridges and techniques have been perfected thus providing customers with excellent quality compatibles that are reliable and good quality.


7. Many compatible ink are filled to capacity and will yield more pages than the original brand. For example, the original brand HP 364XL (high capacity version) will print up to 550 pages at 5% coverage whereas the compatible version will print almost double! How is this possible? The original brand inks are not filled to the top but the compatibles are; it’s as simple as that.


8. Many on-line suppliers of compatibles offer incentives to buy with low cost next day delivery. These incentives range form free ink to seasonal packs of goodies that may appeal to those on-line shoppers looking for some added value with their order.


9. A no quibble money back guarantee can be offered by many suppliers with a full technical back up should you need it. Peace of mind comes as standard with all good on-line compatible ink suppliers


10. To recap, the benefits of buying compatible ink cartridges by far outweigh the original brand. Price, more ink in the cartridges, high manufacturing standards, incentives to buy and customer loyalty rewards make buying compatibles a sensible move for those that haven’t yet made the switch

Epson SX130 Ink Proving Economical to Use

Epson’s reputation for producing good quality printers may have been put to the test in recent times with their temptation to compromise price with quality. In other words, selling cheap printers for less than the cost of the ink cartridges. Manufacturers such as HP and Lexmark have been carrying out this practice for a number of years and seem to prefer to make money from their ink cartridges rather than the printers. The advantage of buying a low budget Epson SX130 printer for many consumers has for instance being able to buy cheap SX130 ink as opposed to buying he more expensive print head version of other brands.

It has, however, become more difficult over recent years to buy compatible SX130 ink cartridges that are fully recognised by the Epson printers but there are a few suppliers, particularly in Ireland that can supply the recognised version. Not all compatible ink cartridges are the same and public confidence was seen to be waning for a while as cheap poor quality ink cartridges had appeared on the market. The Epson T1285 ink cartridges will work with a variety of Epson printers of which the SX130 is one. The black T1281 ink cartridge being the most commonly replaced. The SX130 ink has become more economical to use in Ireland due to the high quality compatible cartridges being sold at record low prices. These ink cartridges give goods quality print outs and with SX130 ink costing as little as €1.50 a cartridge there are serious savings to be made.

Considering that Epson printers would have cost over €125 ten years ago, it’s hard to believe that Epson are able to sell a similar product for a fraction of that price. Obviously with mass production in China this has become more of regular practice with other manufacturers following suit. The SX130 is generally a good quality all-in-one printer and the SX130 ink certainly makes it affordable and economical to use. The printer is easy to set up with the installation CD but unfortunately does not come with a USB lead.

The printer will come with a set of original brand T1285 ink cartridges and when installed will prompt you to perform a test print. The printer can be a little slow to print, especially large coverage full colour documents and to some can generate a noise level above what they would expect. On the whole, for moderate colour or black and white text printing, this printer with its great value black T1281 ink cartridges would perhaps suit home users more so than an office and represents very good value for money overall.
