Ink & Toner Cartridges: Original vs Non-original Cartridges and Why Should You Care ?

Original cartridges, filled with ink or toner, arrive in the box with your new printer or fax equipment. These cartridges are made by the same manufacturer or produced for that manufacturer as brand new equipment and no parts have ever been used. Happily, you set up your new equipment, install the cartridge and begin to print or fax. After some time, the ink or toner runs out and you have to purchase another cartridge. This is where sticker shock can occur. The cost of toner cartridges or ink cartridges can be quite expensive, especially if you print or fax a lot.

External DVD Writers: Welcome To The Storage Revolution

We all remember the humble floppy disk and how it ground away in our computers, trying to save little bits of information without becoming corrupted or damaged. Then came our savior, the CD-ROM, which managed to store a lot more information without the problems of corruption or damage. Of course, for a long time the CDs were read-only, so we could use programs or documents which were already saved to CD-ROMs but we couldn’t save our own information to them, so if we wanted to transfer our own files from one computer to another, unconnected computer, we had to rely on the floppy disk anyway.

Toner Cartridges: Should You Use Remanufactured or Compatibles?

First a little history….
In 1938, the first invention that would lead to the laser printer and toner cartridge was patented. The process, knows as “electro photography”, used a dry printing method, not that different than today’s laser printer.
