How do I decide which inkjet printer is really the best value for me to use at home?

Choosing a new printer can be a nightmare if you don’t first decide on what type of printer need. Basically there are two types of user; light user – this person only uses the printer occasionally, and the heavy user who will regularly produce large print runs.

When you decide what category that you fall in to, the next step is to price the ink cartridges for the printer. This is where a lot of people get caught out as they are attracted to the low cost printers on sale in the large stores and often buy the printer without giving any consideration to the cost of the ink. Replacing an ink cartridge can be a costly exercise unless you revert to using a good quality compatible.

When choosing a replacement for a broken printer checking the price is important but also make a note of the cost of the original brand ink cartridges. Some printers will use two ink cartridges; black and colour and some photo printers will use between four and six colours. Next check that a compatible version of the ink cartridge is available – if the printer is very recent there may not yet be a compatible version available for that model. If a compatible version is available check the price against that of an original brand and calculate the savings. Lifting the phone and chatting to your online ink supplier before you buy your printer can also pay dividends. They are able to offer advice on the different printers that will accept the compatible inkjet cartridge will little chance of rejection. For example, Epson and Brother inkjet printers are more likely to accept the compatible inks without issue compared to HP printers.

This is particularly useful if you are a heavy user and have a substantial budget for in-house printing over the course of a year. There are big savings to be made by using compatible version of ink and toner. The same rules apply to laser printers although there is less likely to be any issues with toner cartridges than inkjets. The laser printers will be more for a heavy home user or office and they come as mono (black and white) or colour. A busy office will send a lot on ink and toner during the year so a good quality compatible toner can make a big difference to their expenses.

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.

What Inkjet Printers use the Best Value Ink Cartridges in Dublin?

If you are looking to upgrade or replace the printer that has finally given you more trouble than it is worth, how do know which printer to choose to replace it?

Epson Expression XP-312:

Available on line for about €65 this all in one budget printer from Epson scans, prints from email, is wireless and is Apple Airprint compatible. Importantly the ink cartridges in Dublin you require are Epson T1811XL and these are available both locally and online as compatibles and are very reasonably priced.

Pros: This printer has excellent features as outlined above and also has touch screen and a memory card slot. The print quality of this printer is excellent for home use or a small office.

Cons: If you do print a lot of black and white then you will find that the black ink can run out quite quickly. A more office-orientated printer would be preferential if you are printing a lot of general black and white content. The peed of this printer may prove to be a bit slow for some people but in all honesty it’s the most negative thing we can say about it.

Cons: It doesn’t print double sided (duplex printing) so it’s limiting as to how fast it will print long print runs. For a home printer it is a little on the large size.
