 Myths about Remanufactured Toner Cartridges

If you’re reading this right now, you’ve probably looked into remanufactured or compatible toner cartridges to replace those expensive OEM toner cartridges for your Laser or Color printer. It seems like these days everyone is looking for a way to cut costs. Businesses and consumers are looking into cheaper alternatives across all spectrum’s of expenses. Toner cartridges is a major factor in these cost cutting practices, and for good reason. Buying remanufactured toner  cartridges may be a big step for many due to the propaganda spread by OEM manufacturers to discourage the cost effective alternative. But don’t believe the rumors!

Big name OEM companies have been using scare tactics to discourage the use of remanufactured toner cartridges. You might have heard some of these rumors which include the lie that using remanufactured toner cartridges will void  your warranty. Or perhaps that you’re somehow getting a sub-par lower quality product when you buy remanufactured cartridges. Or maybe you’ve heard that remanufactured toner cartridges give you less page yield for OEMs, or even that they don’t work, or aren’t compatible with your color or laser printer at all! Of course none of these rumors are true, they are but myths. Hopefully this will help you realize that remanufactured toner cartridges are not a problem nor do they cause malfunctions or errors when in use. The only real difference that they don’t tell you is that if you use remanafactured toner cartridges you will save up to 50% and that means they are losing out.

Shop Online To Find The Cheapest Ink And Toner Cartridges

Thursday, February 16th, 2012

Unlike the past, lots of people are resorting to the Internet for an improved shopping experience. Since the use of printer ink is on the surge like never before, individuals are finding it beneficial and convenient to purchase the product online. The low infrastructure cost enables online printer ink companies to offer products at discounted rates in comparison to retail companies. Fortunately, lots of online printer ink companies have entered the market to meet the growing demand for printer inks, but just be aware that you are getting value for money as some online stores do not have the ink ml of the cartridges beside the cartridge and will just say high capacity, so always check the ink ml and if its not available, then i would presume its because its the low ink ml and would not purchase it.

The stiff competition between online printer ink companies has enabled consumers to purchase printer inks at affordable prices because most companies have reduced their prices to drive business. Most of the ink companies run their own website that includes detailed information about the product they have for sale. A consumer has to simply pick a company that provides great products at affordable prices. In order to get the best deal, one has to consider many other things, which are outlined below.

Individuals looking to purchase printer ink online should check whether the supplier is offering free shipping or not. While some suppliers ship the product free of cost, others charge an outrageous amount of money towards the shipping and handling fees. You should read the shipping terms mentioned on the product description to ensure that you don’t end up losing more than required money on shipping and handling fees.

While shopping online, you won’t be able to have a first hand look at the printer ink, which is why it’s advisable that you purchase the product from a reputable online company. Most of the reputed dealers offer money back guarantee or product replacement over damage or dissatisfaction. By checking the return clause, you will be able to ensure that you are entering into the right deal.

To get the best deal online, one needs to make sure that they are buying ink that is compatible with one’s printer. Incompatible printer inks will not only offer bad output, but they will also damage one’s printer. One should carefully check the product description to ensure that one is not fooled by false claims and hyped promises.

It’s possible to make mistakes, while shopping online for any product. If you have any questions regarding the product, you are advised to ask the seller before making the payment for the product. One should also check if the company offers good customer support facility or not to ensure that one’s queries are resolved on timely basis, in case one feels the need to pose any questions or if one faces any problem with the purchased product. A good dealer will usually provide good customer support facility as well.

iPhone display freezing? iPhone doesn’t detect by or appear in iTunes? iPhone cannot sync with iTunes on PC or Mac? Cannot make or receive calls, send or receive text messages, or access email or the web? Or worse, iPhone simply won’t turn on and does not respond to tap or button press? If the problem still persists after you have reseted the iPhone, or tried various iPhone troubleshooting, it may be worthwhile to invoke recovery mode to restore iPhone to default factory settings, the original state as when you first received and unwrapped the phone.

Restoration of iPhone to original factory defaults will likely to fix all problem, with the downside that all data and information stored on your phone will be lost. Normally iTunes will make a backup automatically when you connect and sync the iPhone with the program, however, it’s still a good recommendation to copy out and backup everything that you may need on the phone before proceed to restore the iPhone.

To restore iPhone and reset the phone to default factory settings, follow these steps:

  1. Turn off iPhone – Hold down the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the red slider. Ignore this step if your iPhone is already off.
  2. Press and hold down the Home button for about 10 seconds until a yellow triangle with a text which says Please Connect to iTunesappears.
  3. Plug the iPhone into Mac or Windows PC. Release the button if you haven’t.
  4. Run and open iTunes if it’s not already opened yet.
  5. iTunes will prompt a message that says iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. Click OK.
  6. You will be taken to the iPhone pane. Then, click on Restore.
  7. Wait for the full restoration process to complete, and the iPhone will be back to the original settings state as when it left the manufacturing factory, typically a working phone again if you face any problem, unless it’s hardware related.

I hope that the info above may be of help to you if you are having problems with you iphone, but just remember that you have a full backup done because when you restore to factory settings you will loose any data you have on your phone.

Difference between compatible and original ink cartridges

Friday, February 3rd, 2012

I am often asked by people about the difference between compatible ink-jet cartridges and original ink cartridges. I hope the following will explain it in detail.

Choosing between OEM and compatible ink cartridges can be a confusing process, as manufacturers and other consumers often give conflicting advice about which is the best choice. Manufacturers claim that using non-OEM cartridges could result in reduced print quality, but what is there really a difference? Let us look at some of the major factors involved.

For the majority of buyers, the reason they consider compatible ink cartridges instead of OEM is to save money. In almost every case, buying compatible cartridges will save a significant amount over OEM prices, sometimes up to 75% savings. This gives compatible cartridges a big advantage for buyers who are looking to reduce costs.

OEM manufacturers often claim that their products will provide sharper quality and better color output than compatible cartridges. In most cases, compatible ink gives the same quality output for a lower price. The cartridges are designed to meet or exceed the specifications of the originals, so there is no reason they should not. However, it is important to buy compatible cartridges from a seller with a reputation for quality. Many good sellers offer a satisfaction guarantee so that the product can be returned if it does not meet your expectations.

Lastly, many users tend to perpetuate a myth that using compatible cartridges will void the warranty on their printer. This is not true. In fact, there are many laws against manufacturers who do not honor a warranty for this reason.

While there are no significant differences between OEM and compatible ink cartridges, many buyers only buy OEM cartridges, despite the potential cost savings. Often this is based on poor experiences with low-quality compatible cartridges that led buyers to believe that all compatible products are made this way. If you decide to go with compatible ink cartridges, it is important to find a reputable seller who stands behind their products with a satisfaction guarantee. Here at printer planet we stand by all our inkjet and laser toners cartridges as they are tried and tested for quality printing. All our cartridges state the ink level and this is very important as some online sellers have no ink levels stated, as they can not match our high capacity ink cartridges.

If anyone would like to comment on any blog on printer planet feel free to do so, as we would welcome opinions you may have.
