Recently here at Cartridge World Newmarket we had a hard drive failure. We had a recovery disk with all our programs on CD and this helped us to get into the hard drive, however, there was nothing to recover. What we learned? Backup your backup! In this blog, I’ll give you 5 important steps to take to make sure your data is secure.
I considered the Brother MFC-J615W printer, which is pretty cost effective to run, but I decided that I wanted a laser printer so that I could print letters and other businesses documents while at home.
I came across the Samsung CLX-3185FW printer on sale for $199.00 and decided to give it a try.

I have an HP Photosmart Premium 309C all in one wireless inkjet printer. Initially the wireless worked very well but over time, it would lose its connectivity and I would have to walk up to the office to turn it back on. Eventually turning it back on wouldn’t even solve the problem.

Plus, many remanufacturers are small businesses employing workers from local communities, such as Cartridge World Newmarket does. Here are 3 great reasons to remanufacture print cartridges.

Of course, many companies want to be environmentally sensitive, but the main reason companies use re-manufactured cartridges is to save money. Most re-manufactured cartridges cost considerably less than OEM cartridges and are comparable quality and reliability. In fact, many re-manufactured cartridges last longer, as they often have up to 20 percent more toner than OEM cartridges.

The next time your IT or printer service person says “You will be charged for this service call because your using recycled ink/toner cartridges” or “Your warranty is void because you are not using OEM brand ink or toner” tell him/her that it is ILLEGAL to force any computer printer owner to use only OEM brands of ink or toner supplies!
Most of the problems arise in Epson printers. They have a tank style cartridge and the printhead is in the printer. Canon, new HP’s and Lexmark’s and Brother printers have printhead printers as well.
Failure to calibrate after cartridge installation, can result in light print or over saturated dark print caused by colours not properly matched. Dumping can be caused by over saturation or over development of toner.
