HP920 remanufactured ink cartridges from UK Ink Supplies

I have installed a remanufactured HP920 ink cartridge and the screen states the product is counterfeit or used

Monitor screen (click image to enlarge)

The cartridge is remanufactured and is not counterfeit. Upon installation the printer has detected the cartridge has been previously used by reading the data stored on the microchip located underneath the cartridge.

This remanufactured cartridge has gone through rigorous inspection, cleaning and refilling processes to produce a quality alternative branded product.

At the point of initial installation press ok to continue and perform one cleaning cycle. The cartridge cleaning method can be located within your printer toolbox, set up, clean or maintenance window.

Subsequent print jobs do not need a print clean prior to printing.

The status monitor on my HP920 cartridge printer does not work

The printer has detected the cartridge is remanufactured and has disabled the printer status monitor.

After installation perform one cleaning cycle located in your printer toolbox, set up, clean or maintenance window.

Simply monitor the print performance to determine the end of your cartridge life.

    Jettec packaging design explained

    Packaging design

    Below are the two sizes of blister packaging the Jettec produce, with explanations of all the elements. All Jettec printer cartridge packaging is made from a minimum of 50% reprocessed or recycled materials.

    Artwork created for the new blister packaging has been simplified to help consumers identify the cartridge for their specific printer.

    What do the numbers and text mean?

    1. The amount of extralife the cartridge is capable of producing, compared to an original equivalent cartridge.
    2. The quick reference number for the cartridge with the end letter signifying the colour i.e. B = Black. This is cross referenced with the original part number to assist in identification.
    3. Full compatibility listing of the printers the cartridge can be used in.
    4. Colour bar and dosage amount for the specific cartridge.
    5. Individual product barcode and the Jettec part number reference.
    6. Background image to help in remembering and locating the correct group of carridges for a specific printer model.
    7. Web address information.
    8. Instructions for activating the extralife (if appropriate to the product).
    9. Information section for installing the cartridge.
    10. Intellectual property rights statement.
    11. Awards and certification logos.
    12. LGA Tested and verified logo certification (if appropriate to the product).

    Kodak Easyshare Printers & Kodak 10 Printer Ink Cartridges

    Kodak is traditionally known for its extensive photographic film products. With innovations and technological improvements in photography, Kodak started to focus on digital photography and digital printing. Kodak Easyshare printers can save up to 50% on everything that you have to print as compared to the stalwart consumer inkjet printers. It has convenient two-cartridge and five-ink systems which produce quality pictures as fast as 30 seconds, with printed pictures that can last a lifetime. Its affordability, quality picture produced and ease of use makes this product ahead of other similar inkjet printers on the market.

    The Kodak ESP 3 All-in-One Printer, which is sold at around £89.99, produces high-quality documents and pictures while at the same time saves as much as 50% on the costs when printing. This model can print, copy and scan pictures and documents. It can print photos as fast as 30 seconds. Thirty pages of documents in black can be printed in just one minute. And 29 pages of coloured documents can be printed in a minute. Another model among the Easyshare printers is the Easyshare 5100 All-in-One Printer, which costs around £89.99. This printer can print, copy and scan documents and pictures. It uses 2-cartridge and 6-ink system. This can also print pictures as fast as 30 seconds. Easyshare 5500 All-in-One Printer, which costs £130.00, is the most costly model among the Easyshare printers. Still, it is cheaper than inkjet printers. It can print, copy, scan, and fax documents. It has high resolution 2.4 inches colour display which allows the user to do easy photo cropping. It also offers efficient and easy two-sided printing. Also, its 35-page automatic document feeder helps in making copying, scanning, and faxing simple.

    Kodak printer ink cartridges, just like the Easyshare printers, allow you to save up to 50% on the cost of everything that you print, compared to conventional inkjet printers. Its revolutionary pigmented inkjet system helps to produce crisp, sharp black documents and quality photographs that can last a lifetime. Kodak 10 ink cartridge multipack produces the sharpest print of photos and documents for both routine and high-production use. This ink cartridge costs around £22.00. Kodak 10 multi-colour inkjet cartridge has 3-ink colour cartridge that produces vivid pictures. This ink cartridge is compatible with the Kodak Easyshare 5000 Series All-in-One Printers. This is sold at £16.00 in the market.

    Digital photography has all-but replaced film photography in the market because of continuous innovations and technology in photography. Along with these innovations is the complexity and cost of digital photography. Most modern homes use inkjet printers. But printing large volumes of pictures at home using inkjet printers are costly. Printer Ink cartridges and types of photo paper used in printing add to the costly price. Kodak’s development of Easyshare printers and its corresponding ink cartridges offer a cheaper cost of printing pictures at home. Some of their ink cartridges even come with photo paper making the running costs more competitive. Apart from the lower consumables costs that Kodak offers the user, its Easyshare printers produce quality outputs. In general, Kodak offers the market easy-to-use and inexpensive digital photography.

    How do I reduce my printing costs?

    Printing can get expensive if you use your printer all the time, not just the cost of the ink cartridges, but also the paper too.

    UK Ink Supplies have a few practical tips and some advice that you can use to help reduce your printing costs by cutting down on wasteful printing.

    Print on both sides of a sheet of paper
    If your printer has a feature called duplex printing, it means you can print on both sides of a sheet of paper during a print job. Of course if your print job is just one page or less then you won’t be able to use this feature.

    Even if your printer doesn’t come with the double sided printing function, then there is no excuse! If you’re just printing for your own reference then make a tray for keeping one sided documents in (after you’re done with them of course) and each time you need to print something that’s just rough or for your own reference, take a sheet from your new A4 scrap paper tray and feed it into your printer.

    Most printers are fitted with a single sheet feeder which is commonly used for feeding special paper and envelopes through the printer and you could use the single sheet feeder for putting through a single sheet of scrap paper, or you could load the main paper feeder. On smaller domestic inkjet printers there may be only one document feeder that serves all of these purposes.

    Reduce your font size when printing text
    Big text is great, it’s easy to read and makes your documents look great. But do you really need to print your draft documents in a large font? Dropping your font size by a few points will cut your ink costs considerably if used consistently. You can easily increase the font size for your final output.

    If you find smaller text difficult to read and you need to print in a larger size for proof-reading your drafts, then consider proof-reading on the computer screen. Most modern wordprocessing software provides a zoom function to make it easy to scale your document up to make it easier to read on the screen.

    Change your font
    Fonts (sometimes known as typefaces) provide a great way to style documents, but fonts are not all equal. Fonts like Arial or Helvetica will use less ink than a serif font like Times Roman (serifs are the embelishments on the corners of the letters).

    You can easily change the font when you print the final document.

    Don’t be bold
    In a similar vein to the preceding two tips, this one’s simple: do not use bold text, or underlines for that matter until you’re printing the final draft. Remember, the thicker and bigger the text, the more ink you are using! Simple!

    If the idea of saving all of your document formatting until the document is finished sounds too daunting, when you’re ready to print just create a copy of your document and in that copy, change the font, the size, remove the formatting and the whole document is suddenly lighter and fewer pages in length. Happy printing!

    Use print preview
    The Print Preview mode allows you to preview your document before printing. Make it a habit to always check the Print Preview, look for unnecessary paragraph spacing (why use three blank lines when one will do), look for blank pages at the end of the document. All these little tweaks can add up, and could save you a sheet of paper – or more!

    Print in draft mode
    You’ll need to refer to your printer manual or the software that came with your printer for this one, but many printers provide a “draft mode” function for printing. When printing in draft mode, the printer uses less ink and so you won’t get crisp black text, but if the printout is just a rough draft then this could be a real money saver.

    Narrow your margins
    Margins are the white spaces at the top, bottom, left and right of your document. It is logical that the bigger your margins are, the less space there is for text and so more pages will be needed. Check the Page Setup settings in your word processor software.

    You will need to play around with the margins to see what works with your printer – very few printers support borderless printing for documents, so you will need to have a minimum margin (often around 15mm or 1.5cm for left and right margins).

    Think before printing
    We’ve all seen that little green message at the bottom of emails – “Think before printing – please consider the environment before printing this email”.

    How often do you print and then realise the document wasn’t required, or find that you’ve printed more than you wanted? Taking just a few seconds to consider what you’re printing, why you’re printing and checking that you aren’t printing anything you don’t need could have the biggest impact on your printing costs in a year – particularly if you regularly print order confirmations and receipts only to find you’ve also printed five pages of terms and conditions.

    Tips for Solving Simple Printing Problems from UK Ink Supplies

    One of the most frustrating things is preparing to print a document and when you click the print button nothing happens or you are get on-screen error messages. Here are some useful tips for troubleshooting your inkjet printer problem and in many cases fix your printer:

    Many inkjet printers have built-in diagnostics programs to help you troubleshoot. Typically, running a test page involves pressing a button or two as you turn on the printer. Many inkjet printers also use a combination of indicator lights to help you identify the cause of the problem.

    Turn your inkjet printer on and off if there seems to be a problem. This is just like rebooting a computer; quite often when you turn the printer on and off it resets itself and gets things working more efficiently.

    Manually cancel a print job by selecting “Printers” from the Windows Control Panel and double-click your printer’s icon. You should be able to see a list of the current print jobs. Right-click the job you want to cancel and then select “Cancel Printing”.

    Printouts are lighter than expected; prints contain white spots or horizontal lines. These are signs that point to a blocked or clogged print head – especially if you haven’t used your inkjet printer for some time. You can clean the head by running the head cleaning tool in the printer’s utility section.

    Vertical lines are jagged. This is usually a sign that the print head is out of alignment. There’s not much you can do to avoid this problem – all print heads become misaligned over time. You can usually recalibrate the heads using the alignment tool that comes in your printer’s utility section. This involves printing a pattern of lines on normal paper and choosing which pattern looks best.

    Colours are missing from the print; prints lack shadows and contrast. Colours may print inconsistently even before your printer tells you to replace an ink cartridge. If the ink cartridges are low on ink when the problem occurs, try replacing them; this may improve the colour print quality.

    If there’s enough ink but your print seems to be missing a particular colour, you are likely to have a blocked or clogged nozzle, so you will need to clean your print head. Colour quality can also be reduced if an ink cartridge has been in your printer for more than six months. Try replacing with a new cartridge.

    Keeping the inside of the printer clean is important. You can use tweezers and/or compressed air to clear out any dust build-up and paper snippets from inside your inkjet printer.

    Regularly check for updates to your printer’s driver. If you are experiencing problems you can visit your inkjet printer manufacturer’s website and download the latest printer driver. Once you have re-installed your printer software you will need to reboot your computer and then try printing again.

    These are some common causes of poor print quality after a new ink cartridge has been installed into your printer:

    1. Allowing a printer to stand without an ink cartridge installed. To avoid this don’t remove the empty ink cartridge until you are ready to install the replacement one.
    2. Extended use of the printer without cleaning the inkjet printer heads. If the printer is used frequently, then it is recommended to regularly clean the heads.
    3. Allowing the printer to stand for long periods of time without being used. Printers are similar to any other piece of machinery – if they are not used they “dry up” and need to be used on a regular basis to avoid this.
