The popularity of Canon printers has grown during the past 5 years making this brand one of the best selling printers in Ireland. The demand for -this brand- ink cartridges in Cork has grown substantially and in particular demand for the compatible cartridges. Many retailers and ink shops stock both the compatible and genuine version. The popular Pixma range of printers is best known for it's high quality print outs and with over 200 models in this range, the demand for good quality ink cartridges is high.

Don't discount the Irish based on-line suppliers many who will deliver next day and give unbeatable offers that the high street shops can't match. Rewarding customers for their loyalty by offering discounts or giving free gifts with orders has become more popular within the compatible ink on-line market in Ireland. The Canon inkjet cartridges on offer on-line very often will include free black cartridge when a full set of cartridges is purchased. A high street ink shop is unlikely to offer this level of offer although may offer to refill your ink cartridges instead for less than the cost of an original brand. How many times can you refill a Canon inkjet ? Well the honest answer is from as little as twice to a maximum of 5 times. There is no guarantee that the cartridges will work when they are refilled and it's quite likely that the volume levels won't display but this doesn't affect the quality of the print outs. One of most important things to consider if you are removing a ink cartridge with an integrated print head with the intention of getting it refilled is not to cause any damage to the copper 'chip' area. Even the natural oil from your hands can cause damage and prevent the cartridge from being recognised. The contacts on the 'chip' are one of the areas of the cartridge that can wear out or cease to function after a couple of refills.

The ink shop in Cork that refills your cartridges will make you aware of all the dangers of handling an ink cartridge that you would to have refilled. The Canon printers that have the print heads in the printers as opposed to the cartridges are not generally refillable and as they are low cost are relatively cheap to replace with the compatible version.

When I print to my inkjet printer, there is a line that runs across my paper, whats causing this?

One of the causes of a line printing across a sheet of paper fed through an inkjet printer is due to the print head or something else being too close to the paper. Check the weight of the paper, if it is too thick it will smudge when it comes in contact with the ink cartridge print head. In fact if anything rubs against the print head while the paper is being printed it will leave a mark or line on the page. On some printers there is an adjustment for the print head and this can compensate for using thicker paper or card. It’s common to think the problem may be with the ink cartridges but it's more likely to be a build up of ink in the print head. Some inkjet cartridges have a built in print head, for example, HP, some Canon and Dell but it's more likely to be a build up of ink. Ink can build up gradually on the bottom of the head; this 'lump' may rub on the paper causing a smudge or line. If there is an integrated print head on the ink cartridge you can remove it and gently remove the build up with a soft damp cloth (being careful not to touch the copper 'chip' area of the cartridge.

Should I buy a colour laser printer or a color inkjet printer?

One of the most asked questions when you are considering buying a new printer is whether to go for inkjet or laser. Many people don't really know the difference between the two printer types but essentially it depends on your usage and quality of the print outs you require. Of course the laser printer does't use ink in the conventional sense, it uses toner powder. This is more expensive than buying an ink cartridge but your page yield is considerably more. If your print outs are needed to be very high quality and you require a high volume of copies then the laser toner is the printer to select. Printing large volumes on an inkjet printer means you will go through a ridiculous amount of ink cartridges. Inkjet printers are not designed to produce large volumes of print outs, a typical inkjet printer that uses ink cartridges may be as much as 5.000 A4 sheets a month printed at 5% coverage. A typical monthly output for a laser printer would be in the region of 35,000 copies. The other factor to consider is the price of the laser toners in comparison to ink cartridges. The laser printer will also require regular servicing by qualified personnel and will also require Drum replacement approximately after every 20,000 print outs.

Where can I find cheap canon ink cartridges in Ireland?

The search for the best value ink cartridges does not always generate the same results as the search for the cheapest ink cartridges in Ireland. There are several things to take into account when you search for Canon inkjet cartridges. There is a vast difference between original brand cartridges and compatibles. The Canon ink cartridges will offer you up to 70% discount against original brand and there are plenty of good quality cartridges currently on the market with Irish suppliers.

Canon compatible inks are of a similar quality to the original brand except for the high-resolution photo printers, this is where you may notice a difference in final print quality. For general every day printing both at home and in the office, compatible cartridges should be more than adequate. The range of printer that use the Canon CLI 521 and CLI 526 ink cartridges work perfectly well with the compatible and provides very satisfactory results. If the printer cartridge is very cheap, unboxed and sold without any form of guarantee then it is probably worth steering clear of. It's better to pay slightly more for a good quality ink cartridge that will give you more reliability than the very cheapest ink cartridge you find. The on-line supplier where you buy the ink (it’s going to be an on-line supplier who will offer you the best deal) should offer a money back guarantee with all the ink cartridges they supply.

Many on-line suppliers will have multipack deals with their ink cartridges and this will certainly bring down the price of an individual ink cartridge. The Canon CLI8 colour ink cartridges are especially good value printing over 420 pages @ 5% coverage. Canon printers can be bought on-line at budget prices but it's worth checking the prices of the replacement cartridges before you buy. Try to avoid false economy by buying a cheap printer that uses expensive cartridges, or worse still, a printer that will not work with compatible inks. A good way to search for a reasonably priced printer is to contact an on-line supplier of compatible inks that will sell you a Canon printer (or any other brand for that matter), that is guaranteed to work with compatibles. This supplier will have tried and tested the printer with it's own range of compatible inks and will stand over any issues that arise with the printer.

I am getting the message as Incompatible Older Generation Cartridge Installed

Some recently manufactured HP printers are throwing up some issues with their ink cartridges. After the replacement ink cartridge (original brand or remanufactured) has been installed, an error message appears on the product control panel and the printer will not print. The message reads that an older generation cartridge has been installed. The message displayed on the computer screen may give additional information such as the ink cartridge used is of an older generation and will not work in the printer.

This problem is affecting a range of HP printers that use the HP cartridge HP 301 Black and Colour. The range of printers affected is HP Deskjet 1010/1510/2540, Envy 4500/5530 and Officejet 4630. HP have developed these printers to use the cartridges they have manufactured and to not work with either old original brand ink cartridges or remanufactured versions of the same. What can you do? Absolutely nothing at the moment apart from buy the 'new generation' cartridges.

HP' reasoning on this is skeptical. They maintain that it’s to facilitate the future of the printers they are manufacturing but the more cynical HP’s users feel it’s a ploy to make it difficult to use the more affordable remanufactured or compatible ink cartridges. This all began in September 2010 when HP decided to update certain ink cartridges. They also reduced the volume levels of certain ink cartridges and said that a decrease in price would follow. They advise that you should check the expiry date of the ink cartridge before you open it. This only applies to original brand cartridges and not compatibles or remanufactured.

If the cartridge is still in the packaging find the warranty end date on the reverse of the package. If there are a v1 several places to the right of the date then the cartridge is the updated version. If the ink cartridge has been removed from the packaging and opened, check the product number on the base of the cartridge. If it has the letters 'CN' or 'CR' as a prefix then it is a new generation cartridge. The general feedback from people who have bought the printers that use the new generation cartridges is that while they are happy with the performance of the printer they are unhappy about the cost of the original brand ink cartridges and the fact that some of the older generation cartridges will not work with the printer.

Where can I find good quality compatible ink cartridges in Cork?

Finding a reasonably priced good quality reliable compatible ink cartridge in Cork should not be that difficult. But the question should really be can you find it in a high street shop or do you have to go on-line to find the best deal? It's worth treating it as an exercise; gathering the best prices from all the ink shops in Cork including any offers they might have such as discounts for bulk buying. When all this information is compiled you can start searching the on-line suppliers who can deliver ink cartridges either next day or within a couple of days.

There are plenty of UK suppliers who will be happy to post out your cartridges to Cork but they may take up to 7 days to reach you and if you are in a hurry then this is too long to wait. Look for an Irish on-line supplier who can get the ink cartridges in Cork quickly and with good value prices. This may seem like a tall order but if you persist with your searches you should have about 3 or 4 decent suppliers to choose from. Once you have narrowed the suppliers down to say 2 or 3, then the next thing to consider is the returns policy of the ink cartridges if they give any issues. You are really looking for a no quibble money-back guarantee with all your cartridges – by the way can you get this from an ink shop? The supplier should be able to offer you either a replacement ink cartridge or your money back – they may want to examine the cartridge first to make sure that the cartridge is indeed faulty and has not been used and returned empty.

Next, look at the offers that the Irish on-line suppliers are giving, are there any free ink cartridges, that is, are any of the High Street ink shops in Cork giving away any free ink when you buy a full set of cartridges? The on-line suppliers very often will offer free cartridges with an order as an incentive for you to place an order. A few of the suppliers may offer you a free gift as an incentive either instead of or as well as cartridges. This is quite rare, but if you can manage to get free ink, next day delivery and a free gift with your order then you have surely found the answer to your prayers for a good supplier of compatible ink cartridges.

My printer wont print. I bought new Kodak ink but it did not work

A typical problem that people with Kodak printers encounter is difficulty with printing after inserting a replacement ink cartridge. If you have tried to print a colour document and only some or none of the ink are printing then it would be a good idea to follow the steps below:

1. Firstly remove all the ink cartridges from the printer.
2. Check to make sure that any tape has been removed from the cartridges.
3. Clean the contact, this is the small hole where the ink comes out as well in the printer itself, a cotton bud can be a useful tool for this. You can clean the contacts on the ink cartridge with a small amount of warm water on the cotton bud.
4. If some of the cartridges are low, replace them with new cartridges.
5. Next, turn off the printer and leave switched off for 2 minutes.
6. Insert the ink cartridges and see if this has helped clear the problem.
7. If you have some of your old original brand Kodak ink to hand you can try these in an effort to see if it is the compatibles that are causing the problem.
8. If the original cartridges fail to work then the issue is likely to be with the printer and not the ink cartridges.
9. Running the head-cleaning procedure might help if the genuine cartridges work but the compatibles do not.

All of the suggestions above are designed to find the faulty cartridges by a process of elimination. Good quality Kodak compatible ink cartridges generally are problem free but from time to time there may be issues with cartridges drying up through infrequent use. It’s a good idea to run a document through the printer from time to time to keep the ink cartridge ‘fresh’ and the ink flowing.
