How to get the most out of your printer ink

keep your print vibrant

Whether you use a printer for personal activities only – or print on a much larger scale for business purposes, you’ll probably find that ink is a major cost factor in the process. People tend to buy a printer and then get ink as they go along – often storing up cartridges so they don’t run out.

The problem is that, with older ink cartridges, particulates may come out of solution and clog the nozzles over time – this is a fairly common scenario when people overstock on ink cartridges and store them for so long that they extend past their “use by” date.

With laser printers, toner can settle over time, causing it to be unevenly distributed on the printed page and leaving faded areas and/or streaking. If your laser print quality is deteriorating, you can sometimes remove the toner cartridge from the printer and shake or rock it from side to side five or six times. You may be able to do this several times before the cartridge actually needs replacing, but it’s hardly an ideal situation and your print results are likely to be hit and miss.

By switching to a managed print solution, you can avoid scenarios like this. An automated supply of ink means that you’ll never have to worry about running low or out of ink again – no more last minute trips out to find a cartridge supplier, when you urgently need to print, and no more wasted ink due to prolonged storage.
