Newer cartridges have chip technology which prevents the ink level read from working on refilled cartridges. All HP cartridges except #88 and #02 series, all Dell and Lexmark, Epson series 69 to 99. Canon cartridges can be reset and Brother does not have chips. Toner cartridges are not affected as new chips are readily available.

If the CM1415fnw offered faster speed and better paper handling, it could be a stellar choice. As it is however, if the speed and paper handling are sufficient for your needs, the combination of output quality, wealth of MFP features, and ease of use—thanks to the color touch screen—are more than enough to make it worth considering. It’s certainly a good fit for relatively light duty use as a shared printer in a micro office, or relatively heavy duty use as a personal printer in a home office.

One of the main reasons for the height of the Phaser 6280 is its colour print engine. Each drum and toner cartridge slots in above the next and a transfer belt attached to the inside of the front cover moves the paper past them as the machine prints. The cartridges are supplied installed, but you have to remove each to pull sealing tapes and paper wraps from them before starting.
Laser printers have become much more affordable over the last couple of years. Once used mainly in offices, many consumers now have laser printers in their home offices. Lasers offer an attractive cost per page vs an inkjet printer, and you don’t have to worry about drying out issues that can occur with ink cartridges when you don’t use them on a regular basis. So how do you choose the right laser printer for you?

Here at Cartridge World Newmarket, we get asked all the time which printers we consider to be the best out there on the market today. From the perspective of refillable cartridges with no issues, hands down, we would recommend Brother or Canon multiple cartridge printers. Why?
This office had the wrong toner cartridge in their printer. Unbelievably, someone in the office managed to fit a TN-580 cartridge into a DR-620 which is meant for a TN-620 or TN-650 cartridge. Using the wrong formulation in their printer, caused the fuser to disintegrate. Fortunately, we were able to source a replacement fuser, installed it and the printer was back up and running as good as new.
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.

The cartridges were remanufactured by a company and sold by one of our competitors. The problem was the inconsistency of products used. Two of the cartridges had OEM drums and the other 2 had their OCP drums changed, however, they were from a different manufacturer.
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.
