New Canon Pixma MG4150 Printer Now Available!

Canon have released a new printer model; the Pixma MG4150.  Designed for students and small families, the machine currently costs around £100, but no doubt will be heavily discounted in the coming weeks.

The Canon Pixma MG 4150 uses a simillar print engine to the MG2150 and MG3150 models and ink replacement costs can be high.  The printer uses the black 540 and colour 541 ink cartridges that feature built-on print heads.  Larger capacity XL versions are also available that offer a lower cost per print.
We stock our Eco-Fill professional Refill Kit that refills both the black and colour cartridges several times...
https://www.printercartridges.net/printercartridgesstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3_254&products_id=1618 for only £11.95 including free UK delivery!
If you are thinking of buying this machine then we would recommend you first take a look at the MG5250 and MG6250 models that use five ink tanks.  These have lower running costs and better print quality and features.
For more details see our website at http://www.printercartridges.net/

Does the use of replacement compatible ink cartridges invalidate your printer warranty?

EU law with regards to recycling means that using compatible, refilled/recycled cartridges no longer invalidates your printer warranty.
In a 2007 Directive {2002/96/EC] on waste electrical and electronic equipment,  the act of circumventing EU recycling rules was outlawed, blocking manufacturers who design products with features such as chips that block recycling.  It was noted that such anti-reuse tactics that block future recycling have an environmental impact.
This EU ruling means that it is illegal for printer manufacturers to void your warranty purely due to the use of compatible cartridges.

Chip removal / reinstallation of chip and reset procedure for Canon Pixma PGI 520 CLI 521 PGI 525 CLI 526 cartridges

When using compatible Canon Pixma PGI 520 CLI 521 PGI 525 CLI 526 cartridges that do not contain a micro-chip you will need to transfer the existing chip from the OEM cartridge and stick it to the compatible one.
On the genuine cartridge the chip is usually held in place with double sided sticky tape .  You can carefully  lever this off using a sharp tool and use the same tape to stick it to the new cartridge.  Be careful not to damage the chip when you do this!
Compatible printer cartridges and bulk ink refills are available from http://www.printercartridges.net/ with free UK delivery!

New Windows 8 and Printer driver software availability problems.

Consumer preview versions of Microsoft Windows 8 are now available.  We can all get a glimse of what to expect in the latest version of the operating system giant.  Most of our interested will be focused on it's level of integration with existing devices, in particular printers.
Upgrading to the latest version may prompt consumers to also upgrade their printer hardware, and because it could be several months before new driver software becomes available for all models; when it does, what type of compatibility problems will be encountered? Hardware may be rendered unusable until solutions are found?  'No compatible driver for my printer under Windows 8' errors could be common-place.
Fortunately Microsoft have re-designed the printer driver model 'version 4 v4' so that when Windows 8 detects a new device the Microsoft auto search feature automatically searches for the best driver and downloads it from the Windows Metadata Information Store (WMIS).  There is also a manual search option to be found under Control Panel > Devices and Printers for you to select 'Advanced Printer Setup' which allows you to find a local or network printer manually .  Unfortunately even if you do find the correct printer driver you may suffer from operational problems.  Jobs may be frozen in a print queue for example and require a system re-boot.  These sort of problems are to be expected as this is only a Beta version of the operating system.  The full commercial version is not due to be released until September / October 2012.
With the vastly increased ownership of tablet and mobile smartphones, wireless connectivity is becoming a real must, and no longer a bonus feature.  Windows 8 offers far greater integration with mobile, touchscreen devices, and metro style apps via v3 and v4 printer driver model, and printer manufacturers are using these new features and benefits to promote and sell their products.  Important factors that are prompting consumers to upgrade their printer hardware this year!
I must be getting too old and stuck in my ways to welcome or accept change because I am still using Windows XP!  I have resisted the temptation to adopt Vista or Windows 7 on my own PC's and Laptop.  XP works, and works well on a daily basis.  I cannot see the point in upgrading to a differenent environment; a different planet almost.   However if I were twenty years younger no doubt I would exhibit increased enthusiasm that would influence an upgrade ot two; and then maybe encounter simillar problems to that of braver computer users.

Available in April 2012: New Compatible Kodak Number 30 Printer Ink Cartridges

After a long wait we are pleased to announce that compatible ink cartridges to replace the Kodak No. 30 range will be arriving some time in April 2012.  
Many of the latest Kodak printers such as the Kodak ESP C110, Kodak ESP C310, Kodak ESP C315, Kodak ESP Office 2150, Kodak ESP Office 2170, Kodak Hero 5.1 now use the number 30B + 30CL cartridge models, so these replacements should be very popular.  High demand will further be fueled by the fact that genuine Kodak cartridges cannot be refilled and reset. These new compatibles will also be a one use only product.  Hopefully a re-usable solution will be developed in the near future.
There is no need to pre-order, however we do recommend you check our home page http://www.printercartridges.net/ for regular updates.

HP 364 compatible cartridges with fully functional chip now available!

Update:
HP364 ARC Refillable Cartridges now available from our website!

The much awaited fully functional compatible cartridge to replace the HP364 will arrive in the UK soon!  These will be the first alternative product that contains a microchip which functions similar to the original one, displaying ink level information!
Because there are so many printers that use the HP 364 standard and high capacity XL cartridge, the demand for this new product will be high.  Printers that use these include the HP Deskjet D5445, D5460, Photosmart 5510, 5515, 7510, B8850, C5324, B109a, B109d etc.
Premium Inks will offer this product with free UK delivery very soon.  Visit www.printercartridges.net for latest product updates.
Update: We still await the arrival of this product which has been delayed.  Some sellers are already offering a used second hand chip fitted to a new cartridge, or an original cartridge that has been refilled.  We currently stock the empty refillable cartridge but this does not contain a chip.  You have to transfer the original one from the genuine HP cartridge.  Fortunately they are only held on with double-sided sticky tape, so they can be carefully removed using a sharpe object.  You then use the same tape to apply it to the new refill cartridge.
This product is available from... https://premium-inks.com/collections/hp-refillable-cartridges-ink

How to reset T1281 - T1284 refillable cartridges (Apec Chip)

If a refillable cartridge is not recognised by your Epson printer and it uses an Apec type chip, then you will need to manually reset it!  To do this just touch both the pins shown in the diagram at the same time with a small metal object.  This will reset the counter back to full again.
Fortunately this problem does not happen too often, however this information may be of some use to you in the future. 
We sell the set of 4 Compatible Fox Empty Refillable Ink Cartridges with auto reset chips fitted for use with Epson S22 SX125 SX130 SX225W SX235W SX420W SX425W SX525 SX525W printers to replace T1281 / T1282 / T1283 / T1284 at... https://premium-inks.com/collections/refillable-cartridges/products/4-refillable-non-oem-compatible-ink-cartridges-epson-stylus-sx225-sx225w-arc  Refill ink is also available from http://www.printercartridges.net/  If you buy both products at the same time then please request free syringes!

Printer users who usually buy new cartridges are trying to save money by refilling existing ones.

The upward trend is for printer owners to refill their existing ink and toner cartridges instead of buying brand new ones.  Saving money seems to be the name of the game in these continually tough times of increasing unemployment and tax squeezes.
As household budges become tighter, so does the amount of expendable income.  Because printer ink can be expensive to buy for certain printers, some people are going down the refilling route, drilling small holes and injecting refill ink into their original cartridges.
Sadly it is not possible to refill all cartridges successfully due to the presence of a smart chip or ink level management software that prevenets a cartridge from being used a second time.  In such cases it can be cheaper to purchase a new printer and start again!  For example Advent printer cartridges cannot be refilled and no compatible versions currently exist.
Fortunately there are many printers that use tanks that can be refilled successfully!  In particular HP cartridges using our Eco-Fill refill kits at https://premium-inks.com/collections/ecofill-hp-professional-refill-kits , certain Canon cartridges that contain a built-in print head also using Eco-Fill refill kits at https://www.printercartridges.net/printercartridgesstore/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=120_121
Premium Inks also stock a wide variety of refillable cartridges for Brother, Canon, Epson, and HP cartridges that contain auto reset chips arc.  These can be found at https://premium-inks.com/collections/eco-fill-professional-refill-kits-for-canon-and-hp-printers
In many cases ordinary compatible cartridges are cheap so refilling is not really necessary.  We stock a wide variety of ink cartridges at out main store https://www.premium-inks.com  Buy from there today and get them tomorrow!
