Compatible Printer Ink in Dublin Sales at an all Time High Due to a Fall in Prices
Sales of compatible ink cartridges in Dublin have soared following the recent radio ad campaigns by some of the bigger ink and toner suppliers in Ireland.
The price of buying a printer has fallen in recent times that sparked an upward trend in the sale of the printers and following on from that was the increase in demand for ink cartridges in Dublin. The initial low cost of the printers on offer in all the big Dublin stores will have caught many people off guard unless they first considered the cost of the ink cartridge they require once the printer was purchased. Fortunately the compatible ink market is in a position to offer some good value to those who bought new printers.
Compatible printer cartridges in Dublin are easily obtained if you own a popular HP, Brother or Epson printer but for the less popular brands the internet is the only option available. The good thing is that delivery of the compatible ink is usually within a day or two and the prices are very often even better than those on the high street. Not only are the prices better online but also in addition the suppliers are willing to reward customer loyalty with free ink or gifts.
There is a noticeable difference in how busy Dublin has become since the return to school in September with students requiring the services of the familyās printer. The cost of ink cartridges in Dublin having come down really only applies the compatible cartridges. The original brand cartridges are still as expensive as ever and with more and more people making the switch big savings can be made. The compatible ink cartridge market offers great savings to both the home and business users and this can be considerable for heavy users. Next day delivery of printer ink in Dublin is now commonplace from web suppliers and with money-back guarantees being offered by many businesses there is no risk at all to the customer. Many businesses in particular will have bought their ink and toner from the same supplier in Dublin for a number of years without carrying out any online research for better value products. It is good house keeping your current suppliers on their toes by letting them know you are pricing around and on the lookout for better deals.

What is the difference between compatible and original inks?
As more and more people are looking to make the switch to using compatible ink and toner, here is some useful and helpful information to help make that decision.
When our attention starts to focus on at the cost of ink cartridges the first thing that strikes us is the difference in price between original and compatible ink cartridges and why is the difference so big in some cases. Another way of asking the question would be āare compatible ink cartridges as good as the originals?ā The original brand ink cartridge is manufactured by the brand that makes the printer so every cartridge they produce should be of the highest quality and suited to that particular printer. The compatible cartridges are in effect clones of the originals; ink cartridges that are manufactured not by the original brand supplier but by a third party. These 3rd party manufacturers are careful not too infringe any copyright or patent of the original but at the same time make they compatible and usable with your printer.
For the home user and general office user the compatible ink cartridges are more than adequate to suit your needs. The only time you are likely to notice a difference in the quality may be in the printing of photo print outs where the colours are crucial but for most of the time this isnāt necessary. Within this same framework some colours may tend to fade after a period of time again only noticeable on colour photos that you may be printing out for resale. For general every day use, the compatible ink cartridge should work fine and give great savings for the heavy user.
Another version of the ācompatible ink cartridgeā is the remanufactured ink cartridges. Not everyone understands the difference between these and their compatible cousins. The remanufactured ink actually contains the print head which means that every time your replace the cartridge you are replacing the print head. Brands such as HP, Lexmark and Dell all produce ink cartridges that use this system and these cartridges carry a lot of technology within them and this makes for good recycling value as the print heads will last way beyond the life of the ink in the cartridge when you first buy it. These cartridges are also refillable in a local refill shop and should work without too many issues. On some occasions though, after the cartridge has been refilled, the printer will know that it has been used before and try to reject the cartridge.
The savings to be had by using the compatible and remanufactured ink are too great to ignore and everyone should try it at least once to see if their printer can run for a fraction of the original cost.

A New Years Resolution Saving You Money
Can’t think of a New Year’s resolution for 2014? Why not begin by saving money and make the switch to compatible ink cartridges for your printer. If you’re a regular use of your printer can you calculate how much you have spent on ink and toner in 2013? For the busy home user using original brand ink cartridges this cost could run into hundreds of Euros, especially if you have students who need to print out their projects, in what seems like, every other week.
For example, if you were to buy Epson genuine brand T1285 ink cartridges at their best price online you could expect to pay somewhere around ā¬40 plus postage and packing. If you source the compatible version of this ink you should expect to pay about ā¬10! As well as this, you are likely to receive a FREE cartridge AND if youāre really lucky, a FREE gift! These savings are too big for you ignore and as the economy picks up and we all get busier then the need to print more will increase. This can equate to a sizeable saving if you were to purchase 10 sets in a year (not unreasonable for a busy family or a small office), ā¬400 for 10 sets of original brand and ā¬100 for compatible cartridges. If you take the same equation to a busy office using inkjet cartridges where perhaps their early ink bill is around ā¬1000 the saving made switching to compatible are certainly significant.
Ink and toner budgets in the office of any size of business are something that should be addressed regularly in an effort to make savings. Laser toner is most popular for those busy offices that produce large quantities of printed matter. This can be a strain on the finances but the solution again is there if you make the switch to compatible ink and toner. There are some online suppliers that will offer FREE toner ink to those who buy full sets of compatible or remanufactured laser toner ink.
Perhaps you feel your original brand printer ink is too expensive and the savings on the compatible version arenāt really that significant (this can be the case, especially of you are using a HP Printer). You may be deciding to change your printer completely as you have had it for a while and it gives you problems from time to time anyway. A useful tip when looking for a replacement printer is to contact your trusted ink supplier and ask them to recommend what new printer would work best with compatible ink cartridges. They should be able to advise you which printers respond best to using compatibles and those to avoid as they maybe have issues accepting the compatible ink cartridges.
This is one New Yearās resolution thatās easy to keep and will surely save you money in 2014.

20 Easy Steps to Ink Cartridge Installation for Epson
Below are listed some useful tips on replacing ink cartridges in Epson printers. Each series of Epson printer may have it’s own method of ink cartridge replacement; I have tried to cover the more popular current models.
Replacing ink cartridges on printers that don’t have an LCD panel.
The printer will display a message when the ink is low. An amber or red light will be displayed next to the ink/maintenance symbol or the stop button on the printerās control panel. See diagram.
- Make sure the printer is switched on. The power light indicator should be on but not flashing.
- Lower the paper output tray and open the printer cover.
- Press the ink symbol button and the print head will move the ink cartridge that needs to be replaced into line with an arrow on the carrier. On some Epson printers, the power light will begin to flash when the carrier stops at the empty ink cartridge, thus identifying the cartridge to be replaced.
- When you are pressing the ink button do not hold this button for more than 3 seconds as on some models it may initiate a head cleaning cycle.
- Also, never force or manually try to move the print head by hand as it may result in damage to the printer.
- Open the ink cartridge cover (lift the flap) and remove the empty ink cartridge by pinching the two ends of the cartridge as you remove it.
- Remember to dispose of the empty ink and toner cartridges safely, take to a recycling centre where possible.
- If ink gets on your hands wash immediately with soap and water.
- Remove the ink cartridge form the box and shake 4 or 5 times before opening the bag. Donāt shake the cartridge after you have removed it from the bag as this may cause a leak.
- After roving the ink cartridge from the protective cover, insert the cartridge vertically into the cartridge holder and push down gently until it clicks. The ink cartridge should fit in easily and not require any excessive force to locate it in position.
- Try to be careful not to damage the hooks that are on the side of the ink cartridges.
- It is also very important that you donāt touch the copper āchipā on the cartridge as this may affect the cartridge recognition.
- If you run out of ink and you donāt have a replacement ink cartridge, it is best to leave the empty cartridge in the printer to prevent dust or the drying out of the print head.
- The colour of the ink cartridge you are replacing is easily identifiable by the colour marking on the cartridge.
- When you have finished replacing the cartridges close the cartridge and printer cover.
- Next, press the ink icon button this will begin the charging of the ink within the printer. It may take a couple of minutes to complete the charging. When the ink charging is complete, the printer will either return to the printing position or give you an indication that another cartridge needs to be replaced.
- It is usually recommended that a head cleaning procedure be carried out after every ink cartridges replacement.
- This operation can be carried out manually on the printer or via your computer.
- If you hold down the ink icon button for more than 3 seconds a head cleaning operation should begin automatically.
- Alternatively, on your computer, find printers > properties > maintenance > head cleaning.

How to Dispose of Our Empty Ink and Toner Cartridges
While we all use smart phones, tablets, PC’s and laptops there is no getting away from the fact that we need to print our documents. But before we start to print it is always a good idea to see how we can save costs and be kind to the environment at the same time. This will involve a combination of the paper, ink and toner we use. A simple way to reduce our carbon footprint while printing and our selves save some money on our ink cartridges is to print by duplex. This feature is available on some printers allowing us to print both sides of the paper at the same time. Also, if your printer has a feature that automatically removes blank pages then this will save you more as well. In the past I have given tips on saving money on your ink and toner but closer inspection of the features of your printer before you buy it will give you a better chance of saving money and doing your bit for the environment.
Another thing to consider is the ink and toner that you actually put on the paper. Toner ink is a powder that is used to create the text and pictures on your document. In the early days of course it was a simple carbon powder substance very messy to handle. In later years the carbon was mixed with a polymer to improve the print quality. In laser printers the toner ink is actually melted with heat in the printer and fused to the paper, opposed to the liquid printer ink contained in an inkjet cartridge. The toner ink cartridges of today are housed in sealed units and you are not encouraged to fill them yourself but rather to take them to a recycling centre.
What should we do when we run out of printer ink? Well, if we are intending to buy replacement ink cartridges we should also think about what we are going to do with the empty cartridges. There are millions of ink and toner cartridges used each year and statistics suggest that 95% of them go to landfill. Here are some more statistics taken from the United States where surveys into the impact on the environment have been taking place.
- It can take about 5 litres of oil to produce a new laser toner cartridge.
- In the USA, it is estimated that 8 ink cartridges are thrown away every second.
- In North America, estimates put the number of ink and toner cartridges discarded in Landfill each year at around 350 million.
- A typical laser toner cartridge will take up to 400 years to decompose in the earth.
Shocking statistics I know, but what can we do about it in Ireland? Firstly, we can think about how we are able to dispose of our ink cartridges when they are empty. Secondly, instead of throwing into the bin for landfill we can collect them and when we have enough gathered we can make the trip to our local Council amenity/recycling centre. There are containers in all refuse sites that will accept used ink and toner cartridges. If we all start this practice today, we can surely make a difference to our own carbon footprint.

- Looking at Canon in the first instance, there are currently 3 models that are Cloud Print Ready one of which is the Pixma MG8250. Itās possible to buy this for as little as ā¬65 online.
- The ink cartridges used in the MG8250 are the Canon CLI525 colours and CLI526 Black. The beauty with these ink cartridges is that they are available as compatibles and will certainly save you money, up to 70% off the original brand cartridges in some cases.

- Kodak also produced a range of Hero and ESP printers that are Cloud Print Ready. The Kodak Hero 7.1 printer is moderately priced at around ā¬80 online and works extremely well with the compatible Kodak 10B and Kodak 10C ink cartridges.
- As with any of the printers listed above, while itās easy to get carried away with the Cloud Print Ready feature itās of equal importance to calculate the cost of the ink cartridges the printer will use in itās lifetime and can you switch to compatibles when you buy your first set of inks.
- Of course the Cloud Ready printers are not just available for inkjet printers but are also available for laser toners too. This will be of more interest to the busy office where itās just not economical to have an inkjet printer.

- If you need a new printer and thinking of going down the route of Cloud Ready Printers then do your research.

- Secondly, is it laser or inkjet you require, weigh up the possibilities that you might print more if you are sharing your printer with friends or colleagues.
- Thirdly, check out all the prices for the printers and printer ink online, donāt just buy the first one you see in your local store.
