Printer manufacturers are migrating to a new direction in ink technology. Dubbed as the Latex Printing Technology, latex ink is water-based, odorless, solvent-free and eco-friendly just like latex house paints.

What you need to know about inkjets and ink utilization?
July 26, 2010

Inkjet printer ink is probably the most expensive liquid ever invented by mankind. Sold at $3,000 per liter, the substance is pricier by over 500% than the most expensive Champagne. But did you know that a good volume of total ink supply still lingers with the inkjet cartridge when the printer sensor issues a no ink warning prompt?

The Magnetic Roller's Role in Laser Printer Image Development

What is common to both toner cartridges and solar panels? Both require energy to carry out its respective operations and work efficiently. Solar panels need sunshine to store electrical energy into its storage batteries while cartridge units run on electrical energy to sustain the supply of DC voltage bias to its magnetic rollers. In the absence of solar energy, the solar panels will not be able to convey electrical energy into its batteries resulting to insufficient power supply in line with the underutilized energy storage bins. Meanwhile, the toner cartridge will not be able to supply adequate toner powder to form the raster graphic image and bond its particles on the media, to cause uneven toner delivery and consequent defects over printouts.

Disposable Toner Cartridges: Is it ‘Planned Obsolescence’ all the way?

Is the manufacture of disposable toner cartridges classified as ‘Planned Obsolescence’? Most likely! Right from the start, cartridge units are produced with an fixed time line or a serviceable life. This means, that the product easily becomes out of date or obsolete up to a prescribed time – similar in concept to the expiration date for processed foods and medicines. In essence, the production theory behind consumables rests on enticing consumers towards multiple purchases - over a one-time purchase, until the product deteriorates and a replacement becomes mandatory.

How to confirm if your toner cartridge is defective?

Ever since desktop printers came into our midst, every little sort of printing trouble seems to have confounded users to no end. A few decades ago, printing was exclusive to local print shops and this prevented end users from experiencing nagging print troubles. But with printing now crossed over to homes and offices, it seems that users never fail to encounter print irregularities in the operation of modern day laser printers. The usual suspect for print defects is of course the toner cartridge, particularly if its a third party unit.

Soybean Toner - Substitute for Conventional Toner?

Soy toner powder has been around for quite some time now. But it is only recently that a large facility such as the Ohio State University initiated its campus-wide use. This is a big boost to the Ohio State Soy Toner Alliance lead by UniPrint. Ohio State currently has in use over 7,000 printers in its Columbus campus where printer software developer UniPrint serves as the printing facility for at least half of total campus units. Around 700 printer units maintained by UniPrint will initially run on soy toner, which cover an aggregate print volume of 800,000 pages per month. International science and technology enterprise Batelle has its reigns on the development of soy-based toner powder with funding coming from the Ohio Soybean Council. The use of the bio-based toners has the full backing of the Ohio BioPreferred Purchasing Program passed by the Ohio State legislature and signed into law by Governor Ted Strictland in February. The bio-products friendly legislation mandates state institutions, which of course includes state run Universities such as Ohio State, to patronize bio-based options.July 15, 2010
Recognition for HP’s Planet Partners Program

The Society of Plastics Engineers or SPE has commended Hewlett Packards’s cartridge recycling initiatives through its Planet Partners Program. Said program is aimed at reducing plastic-based garbage that find its way into landfills annually, particularly those coming from discarded printer cartridges. The printer industry's first, the recycling program is an engineering breakthrough that fully integrates the use of post-consumer recycled plastics in the manufacture of new HP inkjet printer cartridges. So far, at least 200 million new cartridges have been manufactured using the process which is equivalent to more than 5 million pounds of recycled plastics. HP is in track to boost the use of recycled plastic in the coming year by twofold.

Quality Assessment Testing Improves Toner Cartridge Technology

The quality assessment testing performed on toner cartridges simply imputes how rigorous methods have been employed in testing the integrity, not only of the polymer casing, but that of the cartridge's internal components and supplied toner powder as well. With most cartridge manufacturing laboratories, at least 500 cartridge units are randomly picked to undergo thorough destructive testing. Some are selected to deliver at least 500 pages of print while others are print tested until the cartridge runs out of toner. Consequently, a team of independent experts is invited to observe the entire testing process and submit thorough evaluation to ensure that the cartridges produced meet quality standards and sustain a degree of reliability.

Thermal Depolymerization: Can this ease the Toner Cartridge waste crisis?
July 9, 2010
0
Even with recycling activities being deployed on all fronts, over 300 million empty and dilapidated toner cartridges still find its way into landfills annually around the globe. So with refuse coming only from printers, the pile of e-garbage has reached S.O.S. (waste crises) proportions. And since toner cartridges are built from materials that will decompose in a thousand years, just imagine how much more of these disposed printer consumables will accumulate from between now and the coming century; before the first bulk of garbage can even start to decompose. Now this garbage problem covers only toner cartridges. What about other plastic based products that are more than the printer’s refuse? Indeed, the compounding waste crisis is staggering.

Why Apple Inc. is no longer selling Printers?

Why would Apple Inc. abandon the manufacture and distribution of laser printers? It is evident that the consumer electronics giant has placed more interest on other hardware products from its line of Macintosh PCs, the iPod, iPhone and the recently released iPad. But why does Apple Inc. no longer pursue the production of laser printers that would have supported its own line of personal computers?

Is your laser printer consumer friendly? What makes a laser printer a consumer friendly unit? By definition, the term consumer friendly in the world of printers denotes an out of the box printer that hardly poses too much hassle to the user. Now that involves an easy installation and instruction sequence that won't make the head spin. Just like when dining out, diners sit down and heartily eat without undergoing any form of instruction from the dining facility. Without any fuzz at all, the diner simply pays after dining is consummated. This is the basic tenet employed in the design of Hewlett Packard laser printers that has now been integrated into the new Plug and Print Technology. Said technology was developed primarily to to help users follow through what used to be an intricate printing process.
