New compatible cartridges available for Canon CLi-8 and HP 363

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

When Canon introduced their CLi-8 and PGi-5 ink cartridges about four years ago, they used the very latest semiconductor technology to produce the print heads to enable the micro fine droplets that advanced printing demanded. They also used the very latest chip encryption technology to protect the chips on the cartridges. It has taken 4 years of research, but finally a compatible chip has been released into the market, and we have the final result in stock now. Fully chipped, compliant compatible Canon CLI-8 and PGI-5 cartridges are in stock and available at significant savings over the Canon originals. Market analysts predict that the chip manufacturers could sell 12 – 15 million chips in the first six months of release, which just goes to show the pent up demand for compatible ink cartridges.

We have had available the cartridges that you had to take the old chip off, we have had available (and still do) the Armor packs and ink cartridges, but the bottom line is that if you are looking for a simple low cost alternative the Canon original – we now have them available.

· We have put together a summer special offer – buy all five cartridges for only £29.99

· A massive saving of £21.96 over the full set of originals,

· Plus as another incentive there is 20% more ink in the compatible cartridges than the originals

· 100% compatible

· 100% guaranteed satisfaction

We will continue to stock the Canon original cartridges and also the Armor ink cartridges, for those customers who have invested in the Armor Packs, but expect that these compatible ink cartridges will become a huge seller over the next years.

Alongside these Canon cartridges we are now stocking HP remanufactured 363 cartridges. Whilst these have been giving fabulous results we have always been frustrated by the meagre amount of ink in the colour cartridges. No longer, our remanufactured cartridges are filled to the brim with up to 3 Times more ink than the HP originals. Again X-Print our suppliers have matched the ink to the printers and you should see little or no difference between the originals or remanufactured cartridges – except in your wallet!.

Printer ink costs £9,000 a Gallon!

Wednesday, August 1st, 2007

Petrol is expensive but it’s nothing compared to the cost of printer ink. If you compare the cost of ink in an inkjet cartridge it can cost £9,825 per Gallon!.

Here’s the proof. A Hewlett Packard 22(C9352) Tricolor Ink Cartridge holds only 5 ml of ink – one 757th of a gallon. Multiply that £12.98 price tag by 757 and you’re paying £9,825 a gallon for ink.

That particular cartridge, according to HP, yields 140 colour graphic pages at a cost of nearly £0.09 a page, which actually isn’t that bad by printer industry standards. Some cartridges from HP and other companies cost less per page and some more, but the cartridge you get to buy and the cost per page depends on what printer you own.

For years, printer manufacturers have been offering low cost printers only to make it up on ink but that’s starting to change now that consumers are becoming a bit savvier about how much printers actually cost to use. Finally, the industry is starting to listen.

Just like miles per gallon figures for cars, estimates of ink cartridge yields are also approximate and subject to all sorts of variables including the density of your documents and photos, the type of paper you use and the quality settings for your printer.

For example, with almost any printer, you can save ink by using the “draft” or “fast/economical” setting in your printer driver dialog box. That’s a good idea if you’re just printing documents for yourself. For text documents draft mode is usually quite readable.

Things are begining to change in the printing market though. HP’s new Officejet Pro L7000 series of multi-function devices, yields approximately 2,350 black pages on one £25.00 ink cartridge.

That’s about just over a penny a page which is actually cheaper than most laser printers. These HP printers are incredibly good for both black and color business documents. They can print glossy photos, but this line of printers aren’t optimized for this purpose and don’t have a special tray for 4 by 6 photo paper.

Thanks to new printers like the Officjet Pro L7000 from Hewlett Packard, it’s possible to use an ink jet printer for about the same cost per black page as a laser printer and still have the advantage of being able to print in color.

HP Launch new Officejet printers

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

Hewlett-Packard have launched a new range of their popular all in one (printer/Capier/Scanner/Fax) Officejet series. Designated the HP Officejet J5780 and officejet J5785 all models come with brand new inkjet cartridges. The 350 Black and 351 Colour come in two flavours - the standard model is intended for low usage users and the ‘XL’ versions give up to 5 times more output for the Black ink cartridge and three times more for the Tri-Colour ink cartridge than their cheaper cousins. We have just received stock here at Stinkyink and expect them to be big sellers over the coming months.

The 350 and 351 cartridges utilise HP’s unique Vivera ink systems which give a long lasting, high quality output
