Ink Cartridges for an Epson Stylus Colour SX200
The Epson Stylus Colour SX200 is a multifunctional Epson printer that is well priced in the current printer market for the home and small business user. The Epson T0711 black ink cartridge is the ‘work-horse’ ink cartridge for this printer and will be replaced more frequently than any of the other colours. There are several good brands of compatible ink cartridges on the market that will work well with this printer. At a price tag of less than Ā£80, this printer is good value for money and the savings you can make using a compatible ink cartridge can make the savings even greater.
The Epson Stylus SX200 does not have the high-end features of its more expensive SX400 and so does not have a colour LCD screen but the selection of operational buttons make the printer surprisingly easy to use. Ink cartridges for the Epson Stylus Colour SX200 are available to buy singly or as a multipack. The multipack will offer all four colours but you will only need to insert one ink cartridge at a time, for example if you run out of the Cyan T0712 ink cartridge you can replace it on its own without having to replace all four colours at the same time.
This printer is not the fastest of printers on the market from Epson. The text printed using compatible ink cartridges can be printed at approximately 13 pages per minute as an average, however if you run at this rate the quality may not be as good as you would prefer. It may be necessary to run the printer at a slower 4 pages per minute to get the best results. At under Ā£80 the Stylus Colour SX200 ink cartridges will give excellent colour print results at a slower speed of 3 pages per minute with equally impressive results when using photo colour paper.
The colour ink cartridges used with this printer are the T0712 Cyan ink cartridge; with a capacity of 13ml of ink. The T0713 Magenta ink cartridge has an ink volume of 13ml and the T0714 Yellow ink cartridge has the same ink volume of 13ml. The compatible inkjet cartridges are by far the best buy for this printer and offer the least resistance when it comes to the ink cartridge being recognised. If there are any issues with the ink cartridge being recognized it can be remedied by a simple procedure. Firstly remove the USB cable from your printer ā this is to break the link from the printer to the computer, then try reconnecting and see if this solves the problem. If not, secondly, switch the printer off and disconnect the USB lead and leave for 10 minutes, switch back on and reconnect the USB and see if this works. Compatible Ink Cartridges for the Epson Stylus Colour SX200 are such good value that it is worth persevering with any issues that arise with ink cartridge recognition.

HP Laserjet M1120 MFP Toner Ink
The HP LaserJet M1120 MFP is a black and white laser all-in-one printer and is designed for the home and small business user.Ā The printer uses the HP CB436A toner cartridge, otherwise known as the HP 36A and is available as an original toner ink cartridge or as remanufactured toner ink.
The all-in-one printers have by far out-shone the sales of single function printers in the inkjet cartridge market but have been slower to make an impact in the laser printer market. HP began to address this issue and for those of us used to working with small and compact inkjet based all-in-one printers, the LaserJet M1120 MFP is physically a lot bigger. The laser mechanics in the lower section of the printer means it takes up quite a bit more room than an inkjet by comparison, but the printer has a stable look about it with its grey columns down either side.Ā The versatile and easily obtained HP CB436A ink and toner is widely available locally and on-line. The toner ink output of the toner cartridge is approximately 2000 pages at 5% coverage.
The large 250 page paper tray also has a 10 sheet multipurpose tray. HP refers to this as a priority tray and this is positioned above the standard paper tray. This can be a useful as you may quite often need to load more than one sheet of a particular weight or paper finish at one time. The paper feeds out to what can be described as a balcony that projects from about half way up the laser printer.āØ This printer is extremely good at operating in an office where there are a lot of mono reports required and the remanufactured HP 36A toner cartridge certainly can prove good value for money. Above the output tray is the flatbed scanner section and this hinges upwards – allowing access to the laser toner ink and the drum cartridge. The scanner is supported by spring hinges, so it will stay in place when it is open without danger of falling shut.āØ On top of the printer is an LCD display ā without backlight – and a set of eight buttons which, though a little old fashioned, are enough to control the printer functions. No indicator as far as we can tell, to inform you of toner and ink levels.Ā At the back of the printer, the only connection is a USB 2 socket and unfortunately there are no internal options for a network interface.
However, there is a network version of this machine available at a cost of about Ā£20 more.Ā There are many single and two pack offers on the CB 436A ink and toner for this printer available on-line.Ā Many of these offers also include free delivery and same day dispatch.Ā The all-in-one laser printer is an attractive option when buying the printer because of the extra features such as the scanner but it is important to check the cost of running the printer ink with toner ink as this will be one of the biggest outlays that you will have to make. The HP Laserjet M1120 MFP will generally accept the remanufactured HP 36A toner without any issues, however, from time to time it may be necessary to remove the toner ink cartridge from the printer to clean the contacts with a soft cloth to remove any static and help the printer recognise the laser print toner cartridge.

Compatible Ink Cartridge FAQ
Why should I choose an compatible ink cartridge for EpsonĀ over original brand cartridges?
The one main advantage of choosing a compatible T0801 ink cartridge is that they are a completely new cartridge but are cheaper than OEM cartridges (original manufacturers). You can make savings of up to 70% more when using compatible ink cartridges instead of OEM. The difference in price does not sacrifice the very high quality and reliability of the compatible ink cartridge. Compatible ink cartridges are design differently to avoid any copyright issues that might arise with printer manufacturers. Despite of the difference in design but not the physical shape of the T0801 ink cartridge, users can be reassured that compatible cartridges are 100% compatible with the printer model stated in the box or label. They are specifically designed to work with that particular printer brand or model.
It is important that consumers using compatible T0807 ink cartridges are confident that they are fully compatible with their printer brand and that they will work. This may be of concern to a user because there are cases in which some printer models of a different brand are actually manufactured using the same equipment. For example, the early models of HP LaserJet printers were manufactured using the same manufacturing equipment and processes as those used by Canon. Because of this, some a HP and Canon ink cartridge may be compatible and can be used inĀ either printer.Ā This is certainly true of the Lexmark 16 and the Dell T0529. It is actually the same for some third-party manufacturers who produce a compatible ink cartridge. They also make use of the same manufacturing processes as some of those used by other printer manufacturers. The user will be unlikely to realise this when purchasing a printer. Broadly speaking, a compatible T0801 ink cartridge will give the same print quality as their OEM rivals. However, a slight disadvantage to this is that the print quality will sometimes vary from one manufacturer to another.
Why does the compatible ink cartridge not look the same as the original branded cartridge?
Sometimes you may notice that the compatible T0807 ink cartridges varies in its design when compared to the original product.Ā This is because most compatible cartridges are designed to look different so as not to interfere with the intellectual property rights of the original equipment manufacturer.
What should I do if my printer refuses to recognize the compatible ink cartridges?
When you insert new ink cartridges there is the possibility that the printer will give an error message ācartridge not recognisedā.Ā There are some basics tips to follow to help you get over this problem.
- Carefully remove the T0801 ink cartridge from the EpsonĀ printer ā be aware that now the seal is broken the ink is likely to drip.Ā Also, try not to make any contact with the copperplate āchipā on the cartridge.
- Clean the copperplate area āchipā with a soft clean dry cloth to remove any residue or contamination that may be preventing a good contact between the ink cartridge and the printer. This would possibly be preventing the printer from reading the information on the ink cartridges.
- Try re-inserting the ink cartridge firmly until you feel the click.Ā This could possibly be the reason why the ink cartridge will not be recognized either.

Choosing the Right Ink Cartridge for your Printer
When choosing the correct ink cartridge for your printer and for your inkjet printer, it is very important that you choose a good quality ink that ensures you get high quality printing results. Refilling your old cartridges may seem like a good idea and sound less expensive but it can require more technical skills than most of us have, and anyway, the procedure can vary from cartridge to cartridge. Many inkjet cartridges are not simply containers that hold ink, they also have built in electronic circuits. The circuits or āchipsā as they are sometimes referred to, need to be reset after the ink cartridges have been refilled. Without the correct tools, knowledge and skills to refill them, it is better to consider going for the next best option and buying a good quality compatible or remanufactured ink cartridge.
Replacing Inkjet Cartridges:
Identify the make and model of your inkjet printer.
This may sound like an obvious one but more and more inkjet cartridges are returned to suppliers because of an error made in the selection of the cartridge needed.Ā The printer model will usually be located on the back or on the bottom on the printer. It could be located on a sticker on the front of the printer ā use this to check the ink cartridge you need and make a note of it.Ā It is sometimes the case where the printer will take more than one size of ink cartridge, and you may be able to purchase a high capacity cartridge which will last a lot longer and work out cheaper in the long run.
Checking out your user’s manual
Getting familiar with your printer and learning how to change the ink cartridge in your printer plus finding out what type of ink it uses will require reading up on the users manual that comes with the printer.Ā In fact, these days some of the printers donāt have a manual with them but your download the installation guide and user manual from the manufacturerās website.Ā Ā Every printer is different, and you will need to familiarize yourself with the steps to change the ink cartridges properly and the users manual is the best place to start. If at all possible, open the printer cover and read the product code on the ink cartridge. It may be necessary to go into your printer utilities to activate the āhow to change an ink cartridgeā instruction.Ā This will move the print heads into position for you to see the ink cartridges and read the numbers you require. However, if there is no cartridge present or you cannot open the inkjet printer without actually physically changing the inkjet cartridge, then consult your user’s manual or go online to check it out further.
Choosing a replacement ink cartridge
If you are choosing an inkjet cartridge form an online supplier then the website will usually list all the printers that will work with a particular ink cartridge.Ā Most websites that supply ink cartridges have a search facility that will allow you to type in the product code of the cartridge and take you straight to the options to buy.Ā Sometimes, however, it will be necessary to type in the full product code of the ink cartridge if you know it as not all search facilities on websites can recognise a partial code or number from an inkjet cartridge.Ā The other option is to go for a drop down search facility ā where it is offered and select your printer; first by brand, then by printer type and lastly by the actual model number.Ā This will ensue that you find the correct ink cartridges that work with your printer.

How to order an Ink Cartridge Online
Getting replacement ink cartridges can sometimes be quite a challenge. If you have an office or work from home then this challenge has to be faced every couple of weeks or month depending on how much you print. The process of ordering ink cartridges as much as it can seem to be tedious, has to be done time and time again if you’d like to keep printing. A good place to start is to go to your favourite browser and begin searching for an online office supplies or ink cartridge supply store that has a good reputation. The supplier would need to offer a long-term product guarantee, a low price and fast delivery. Some of the keywords you can use in your search are for example, cheap printer ink, compatible ink cartridges, inkjet cartridges, and remanufactured ink.
Initially the search results will give you online shops that have good prices on printer ink. To make a wise choice there are a few important points to check and consider before making a purchase. To start with,Ā check that the company offers plenty of variety on their products, for example, compatible inkjet cartridges as well as remanufactured ones. Secondly, check to see if there is an ISO accreditation that gives the cartridges the standard of quality you require. The more printer ink cartridges they have in stock the higher the likelihood will be that your ink cartridge will be in stock. We all run out of ink and often leave it until the last minute to re-order only to discover that our supplier does not have our ink cartridge in stock. Older printer models usually prove more difficult to find inkjet cartridges for. The larger online stores will usually be the ones to carry the older and discontinued models. Product guarantee is very important to the consumer and it can often be guaranteed up to a year, although most inkjet cartridges have a shelf life of two years. That allows you to take advantage of the many large bundle and multipack deals of ink cartridges and not worry about the shelf life of the cartridge.
Some deals on ink cartridges look too good to be true.Ā A good rule of thumb is to place a small order to sample the ink cartridges and see if they work satisfactorily in your printer. We would say be careful and don’t be fooled by the cheapness of the ink cartridge but to take into consideration the supplier reputation and product guarantees you get when you make a purchase. Once you have found a supplier that is able to supply an inkjet cartridge that you are happy with, you can share this information with families and friends by word of mouth and on social media sites such as facebook. Of course another very important thing to remember is the safety of the website you are buying from. There should always be an identifiable source of Internet Security to put your mind at ease when giving payment details over the Internet.
Lastly, the Internet is the single greatest shopping mall for ink cartridges, you can find any ink cartridge for any printer either current or obsolete on the Internet.Ā Blog sites are also another good way of finding out the reputation of an online supplier, many comments and posts are made everyday about the reliability and quality of ink and toner suppliers across the UK and Ireland.

Remanufactured Ink Cartridges FAQ
What should I do if the ink cartridge warning light comes on after I insert the cartridge?
Sometime the ink cartridge warning light will come on after you first install the new remanufactured ink cartridge. The following tips will help to resolve this issue.
- Switch off the printer and leave for at least two minutes and then restart.
- If the light still appears after this, remove the cartridge ā following carefully the printer instructions on how to replace an ink cartridge.
- Clean the face of the copper colour āchipā plate with a clean soft cloth to remove any static or grease that may be preventing a good contact.
- Re-insert the ink cartridge to see if this has helped resolve the problem.
- If the problem is not resolved, the next step to try is to switch the printer off, disconnect the printer ā USB lead and leave for 2 minutes, this may give the printer a chance to reset itself and possibly recognize the ink cartridges.
What if I am not satisfied with the print out quality of my remanufactured inkjet cartridges?
If you are unhappy with the quality of the print out from you remanufactured ink cartridges, it may be necessary to perform a cleaning cycle with your printer.
- Follow the instructions to perform a cleaning cycle on your printer, this can be found in your printer utilities or maintenance section. This may often mean performing the cleaning cycle on the ink cartridge several times before it is completely clean.Ā You should always run a test sheet after each cleaning cycle to see if the cleaning has improved.Ā This is important, as the printer will boost the strength of the clean (i.e. force more ink through the nozzle) when it sees that you are continually cleaning and printing a test sheet.
- If you are still not satisfied with the results following the cleaning cycle there is another option to try.
- Remove the inkjet cartridge from the printer, fold a paper tissue or piece of kitchen roll and moisten it with warm water.Ā Place the moistened tissue on a flat surface and wipe the print-head while at the same time exerting a slight pressure on the cartridge.Ā This can be repeated if necessary to help remove a clogged print head that the printer cannot clean.
- If the problem is not resolved at this stage, the next step is to switch off the printer, remove the USB lead and leave for 5 minutes, in the case of the Dell 944 we find that if you switch off, remove the power brick for 10 ā 15 minutes then this will reset the printer and prevent it from showing its own message of āincorrect cartridgeā installed.
- If none of the above work then it is likely that the inkjet cartridge is faulty and should be returned to the supplier for replacement.
Are all remanufactured inkjet cartridges give the same?
No, very often you will have no problems whatsoever with your remanufactured ink cartridges, in fact you can sometimes have issues with the an OEM cartridge (original manufacturers cartridge).

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus Reviews
We decide to look into the reviews for the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus and provide feedback for our customers on the overall positivity of this exciting printer. The HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus scores an impressive 9.3 out of 10 on most review sites in the UK and will surely take a big share of our toner and ink sales.
- This printer is well built and designed allowing easy access to inkjet cartridges – it has its own dedicated opening to access the ink cartridge rather than having to lift the scanner cover. The printer has an excellent scanner with equally good e tools.
- It’s very economical on toner ink and is fast printing with duplex available if required.
- The scanner is available for OCR as well as PDF and jpeg and is very simple to set up. It works well with Mac and PC. The e-print facility is extremely useful and it has a large capacity paper tray.
- It is labelled as an office printer but will serve just as well for a home user. It is almost 50 per cent cheaper than a laser printer. The black ink cartridges will print up to 2500 pages and the colour ink cartridge up to 1200 pages.
- It is capable of printing on card which is something that not every inkjet printer will do. Some would say ‘everything you would expect from a HP printer- fast and reliable’.
So overall, the printer gets very favourable reviews across the UK. Perhaps the biggest saving is considering using remanufactured toner and ink when buying a printer as this is the biggest outlay you are going to have during the life of the printer.
