Tesco Cheap Ink Cartridge

Advantages: Cheap, Does the Job
Disadvantages: Printouts are not very good,Tends to smudge easily

...I purchasd this this third part ink cartridge whilst out shopping in my local Tesco store for just under £3 which seemed like a bargain so i thought i'd give it a go. I've used other third party ink cartridges in the past so thought i'd try this one out too since Tesco seem to make everything now. As with all third part ink cartidges,the initial prints are good and of acceptable standard considering that they can cost up to 90% less than the genuine original ink cartidiges. However as you print out a few more,mthe quality degrades considerably and you'll also notice that the ink does not last as long as the original ones do. The print outs are also prone to smudging and take ages to dry properly compared to the originals and the ink dries up faster if you haven't used them for a long time. I also found that using the printer cleaning...

Review of Tesco C53 Black Ink Cartridge

You get what you pay for with this Tesco cartridge

Advantages: cheap, can still be used to print word documents that are of quite acceptable quality
Disadvantages: Absolutely rubbish for printing pictures, photos, etc.

...I bought this cartridge in one of the larger Tesco stores for £2.97 (or a few pennies around that amount if I didn't remember it accurately!) about 2 months ago. I wanted to save some money on cartridges since I do quite a lot of printing and I own a Canon inkjet printer model number S200x which uses a Canon brand BCI24BK black cartridge which normally costs about twice the price of this Tesco one. Right from the first print, the quality difference was very noticeable. The black ink smudges everywhere on the print-outs, large random black blobs of ink smudges dotted each printout rendering it unusable. I tried to rectify the problem by doing a print head deep-clean, which didn't help at all. I then adjusted the printer's ink-dry time to the longest time possible, and it did improve the print out of letters (and other word...

Review of Tesco C53 Black Ink Cartridge

Oki toner cartridge - Professional, excellent quality printing.

Advantages: Professional quality. Simple to change, good colour
Disadvantages: Expensive, not sure if it is recyclable

...I have been using the Oki toner cartridges for apporximately 12 months. In my opinion the quality is fantastic, clear and precise. When a notice pops up telling me to replace the cartridge it can be ignored for quite a considerable time, even when running low on certain colours I have still found that the quality is good. When the time comes that the colour reproduction is not good enough then as long it is not for an important document I have found that by just simply removing the cartridge, shaking it about a bit and replacing it, it can bring the colour back to life and will add extra life to it.On the whole I feel it produces professional print quality. I think it is an expensive item but have not compared the longevity against an alternative product....

Review of OKI toner cartridge (43324422)

Black as Night

Advantages: Great print quality
Disadvantages: It's always a pain when it runs out

...I have had my Epson printer for just over a year now and had the one before that for over two before it began to chew paper and was kindly replaced by Epson for the one I currently have. Luckily for me both of the printers use the same ink cartridges and therefore I didn't waste any ink whatsoever when I switched printers. Now being at University and constantly having to hand in double copies of essay and presentation notes I do get through rather a lot of ink and it is my black ink that takes the greatest bashing. The black ink cartridge in question can be bought separately or in a pack, which has the code T0715 and contains a black ink cartridge as well as one of each of the colours; cyan, yellow and magenta. It may be a good time to mention that this cartridge as well as the multi-pack and the single colours has a picture...

HP 350 ink cartridge

Advantages: quality
Disadvantages: price

...As with all HP products you can expect great quality and crisp grey scale images. The benefit of using Original HP inkjet print cartridges is that they offer consistent print quality and reliable performance.With the HP 350 you can expect "archival-quality documents that resist fading for decades" thanks to HP Vivera Ink. Although HP print cartridges are coming down in price you can still expect to pay a lot more than other substitute brands. The real question is whether the extra money is worth it. With some of the alternative products on the market today I am inclined to believe you can the same quality for less money. Many alternative ink cartridges contain more ink than official HP cartridges, however the problem with these cartridges is not always being sure of the quality of the product you are buying, nor the reliabilty...

The Cheap and cheerful ish Cartridge!

Advantages: Cheap, colour print is good, easy to insert
Disadvantages: Black comes out green! Runs out quickly VERY Quickly!

...Hello and welcome to this review! My gosh those trial cartridges that come with your printer sure do run out quickly! These cartridges are greatly priced, much cheaper than other brands such as HP! However, there is one problem I have come accross when using the Lexmark 1 Cartridge. That being - When black is printed, it doesn't quite come out black! Its more of a green colour. I understand this is because colours are mixed inside the cartridge to make black but the best colour they can make must be green:( I thought it may have been my printer however I bought a second and its exactly the same! I would definately say for the price of this printer and cartridge range It is good for people doing everyday printing, however if you are printing invoices etc and require that crisp look Im afraid you will not get it...

Advantages: Print quality, reliable, easy to use.
Disadvantages: Expensive!

...Are you the sort of person who is interested in adventure, romance and death-defying escapes? If so, then I?m sorry to disappoint you! None of these exciting topics will be featured in the following review? On the other hand, if you?re the sort of person interested in the thrills of purchasing and fitting an HP4096A toner cartridge into a Hewlett Packard printer, then this is probably the review you?ve been waiting for!!

Review of HP 96A - toner cartridge (C4096A)

HP45 Print Cartridge

Advantages: Print quality, ease of use
Disadvantages: Too expensive

...This print cartridge is designed for use with the Hewlett Packard P 700, 800, 900 and 1100 series of Deskjet printers. We have a couple of 840C printers at my work place and we get through a fair amount of these HP45 cartridges! The HP45 is a black ink cartridge with a 42ml capacity. The lifespan on this cartridge will vary greatly according to the printing mode and resolution used on the printer. This toner will retail at around the £20-£22 mark depending on which supplier you use. The cartridge comes in a small cardboard package. It is held in place by a cardboard surround that can sometimes be a bit of a battle to remove, depending on which way up you open the packaging! In Use To make the cartridge ready for fitting into the printer, you first need to remove a plastic strip from the bottom of the cartridge. This...

Review of Black (PS2)

Black Hawk Down

Advantages: Excellent Film
Disadvantages: Not many

...Recently there was an article which really sparked my emotions, both sadness and anger, surprisingly it was in The Sun (the most professional and reliable of the daily papers) the article was on the sate of Somalia and the history of the wars going on in the country. Quoted in the article was a film called Black Hawk Down, which I had heard of but never, had the opportunity to watch and had no clue about, later on when in discussion on the article, somebody brought the film up and highly recommended it. Buying the Film I bought the film in Blockbuster when I was returning a rental; it cost £4 which I thought was highly reasonable for a DVD, especially one which was recommended and according to the front of the DVD won two Oscars, and looked to carry an exciting cast set. Director The film is directed by a man called Ridley...
