How to Improve the Print Quality of Advent Inkjet Cartridges ?

What should I do if the prints from my Advent printer are poor quality or are missing the black ink?

If you experience problems with the quality of your print outs using your Advent printer it may be the ink cartridges or the print heads that are causing the problem. In the first instance, check that the ink cartridge compatible or original brand is installed properly. Lift the printer access door and remove the Advent ink cartridge making sure that any tape has been removed from the cartridge. Remember to check both the black and the colour ink cartridges. If this checks out ok then there is the possibility that the print heads are clogged and you need to perform a head cleaning procedure.

Head cleaning operations can vary from printer to printer but basically it involves giving the printer via the computer, the command to clean the print heads to allow the ink to follow through the ink cartridge. It may be that the issue is with the color or the black print head but as it's not possible to clean the colors individually follow the following tips.

> First of all open or create any Microsoft word document.
> Step 1. Go to Print in drop down menu.
> Step 2. Select Properties
> Step 3. Select Maintenance
> Step 4. Head Cleaning

You are able to clean the heads and print out a test sheet afterwards. This is to show you if the heads have cleaned OK, if they haven't cleaned OK then you need to repeat step 4 again. It will ask you if you want to clean the heads again or finish, you will probably need to clean the heads 3 or 4 times at least to clear any blockages.

Compatible Advent ink cartridges are generally very reliable and do not give problems, but as with any brand of inkjet cartridge, from time to time there may be issues arising. If the problems still persist after carrying out the head cleaning procedure then the next step is to replace the ink cartridge. The test sheet will show you if it is the black or one of the colours that is not printing correctly so replace the ink cartridge that is printing poorly first in an effort to eliminate the source of the problem.

Where can I buy Advent ink cartridges in Cork?

Advent printers are manufactured for Currys and PC World but the ink cartridges they use are not always easy to come by. The Advent A10 and AW10 series of printers use a black and colour ink cartridge both of which have been increasingly more difficult to obtain. Generally, ink cartridges in Cork are easily bought either from an ink shop in Cork or online with delivery usually within a couple of days. The advent cartridges until recently were only available from the Currys or PC World shops but are now available from good online suppliers.

Many people in Cork have bought these printers in recent years and have been delighted to learn that you can use the compatible version of the Advent ink cartridge without too many problems. Any good ink shop in Cork will stock the compatible Advent cartridges but they can be delivered either next day or within a few days when ordered online. Because there are so many Advent printers about, they would be one of more popular ink cartridges in Cork making the demand for them quite high.

Typically you could expect to pay around €21 for an original brand black ink cartridge and up to €35 for a colour cartridge. The compatible ink cartridges can be as low as €8.99 for a back and €13.99 for a colour cartridge excluding VAT. This is a saving of over 100% on the price of an original brand cartridge. The volume levels of ink are the same so it's a really good deal but I am not sure if you would get this deal ink an ink shop in Cork - I suspect that these prices would only be available online.

Of course you will need both Advent ink cartridges to be have a ink in them for the printer to work, it's not possible to print if one cartridge is empty – for example if you just want to print black you will still need the colour cartridge to have ink in it. The printer, it seems, will still use a tiny amount of colour ink even when printing a black image or text. The Advent printers are reliable and a good buy from PC World and Currys. However, the availability of the ink cartridges from another ink shop in Cork is more of a problem and can mean that you are limited to where you can buy your ink.

My Advent ink runs out very quickly, what can I do to make it last longer?

If you are finding that your Advent ink cartridge is not lasting as long as you would like, try these tips on saving money on your ink and toner.

Buying a new printer is a major commitment and providing ink cartridges for it can be an expensive so we often source a printer such as the Advent range as an affordable option. The first way to save money is to switch to compatible ink cartridges; these will save you up to 50% off the original brand advent ink cartridge. Plus, you can stock up on compatibles as most cartridges have a 2-year shelf life. Adjusting your printer settings for example into 'draft' mode can save you up to 50% of ink!

Before buying your printer you should give some thought to the cost of buying an ink cartridge and how many pages it is likely to print and if this is sufficient for your requirements. A busy office would go through too many inkjet cartridges to make purchasing an inkjet printer cost effective so in this case a laser printer would be a better option. Printing on a high quality photo paper will also use more ink so only use a premium paper when it's absolutely necessary.

Will my Advent printer print black only if there is no ink in the colour ink cartridge?

Advent printers require you have both colour and black ink cartridges with ink in them for the printer to work either to print black or colour.

My Advent printer won't print black.

When you install the ink cartridge ensure that the tape or tabs are properly removed for the cartridge. If this is the case then remove and reinstall the cartridge making sure that the cartridge clicks into position. If this doesn't solve the problem you can attempt to reset the printer by removing the ink cartridges, switching the printer off, unplugging the printer, wait 30 seconds, switch the printer back on and reinsert the ink cartridges.

Will my Advent printer seems to be stuck in photocopy mode.

If this happens then first of all switch off the printer and restart your printer. Switch the printer back on to see if this clears it in the first instance.

If the cartridge is correct, uninstall the printer, re-install and restart you computer.
