...This review is on the HP (Hewlett Packard) Inkjet Black Ink Cartridge, which I use in conjunction with my HP printer for my computer. I bought this one on this particular occasion in my local Staples store for £18.49, although I had originally gone in there to buy one of their own brand makes which are around £5 cheaper. However, you do pay for the quality that you get and yes you do pay for the name as you would expect with anything these days! I'm not being a snob, but sometimes I do just like to be walking down the road with a top brand name in my hands (even though it may just be an ink cartridge). But back to the quality, and this particular one is the larger one of the two 56 series that HP now do for t heir printers. But this one this size, the packet claims that this bigger size can do up to 3 times more prints than...

Printing on the move

Advantages: Small and portable, fun (but the novelty soon wears off), cheap to buy, needs no ink
Disadvantages: Paper is very expensive, picture quality not up to standard, it's no more than a gadget

...What is it? The Polaroid Pogo is a portable printer that is designed solely to print digital photos. Historically the Pogo was only available in black but it is available in other limited addition colours, at an additional cost. The Technology The Pogo uses the up-to-date ?ZINK? technology, which Polaroid claims is ? an amazing new way to print in full colour without the need for ink cartridges or ribbons?. This new technology is a major breakthrough for peripheral printers. However, in order to produce a photo the ink must come from somewhere and in the case of the Pogo the ink is ?held in three layers of transparent crystals, coated on ZINK paper. A thermal print head sends pulses through the layers to heat the appropriate set of crystals and produce a colour image? This means that only Pogo specific paper...

QUALITY PRINTING AT A COST

Advantages: Good quality of print
Disadvantages: Expensive

...HP 21 BLACKINKJET PRINT CARTRIDGE My previous Hewlett Packard printer recently decided to call it a day, and join printer heaven via the local recycling centre. I ended up buying a Hewlett Packard Printer / Scanner / Copier which takes HP 21 and HP 22 Inkjet Print Cartridges. HP 21 PACKAGING AND CONTENTS The packaging itself makes it look as if you are getting a larger cartridge than the one you actually get. For those of you that are into minimal packaging, then I would say that there is too much packaging, in the form of cardboard, and depending on where you buy them from, these are then further packaged into a see through plastic holder. The cartridges that I have bought recently come from various parts of the world, but include Ireland and Malaysia. The ink cartridge itself is only 5 ml, and will print approximately...

A slick print screen facility

Advantages: Options, it works well, it's free
Disadvantages: Can be slow to email as an attachment

...If you look at your computer keyboard on the top row of keys on the right hand side you?ll see the ?Prt Sc? key, the one that captures a print of the screen that you are currently looking at. It?s a very handy facility to have but notorious for not working properly & being a little restrictive. Gadwin Systems offer free software that eliminates the problems of the ?Print Screen? facility & turns into a very slick operation. You can capture a screen print & save it for printing, you can choose a number of ?hot keys? that you prefer to use for the simple function. You can capture a full screen or a certain section; in fact there are about six different image formats to suit each individual user. I find it very handy when your browsing through websites looking for something & come across similar offers, printing a copy of the various...

QUALITY PRINTING BUT CHEAPER ALTERNATIVES

Advantages: GOOD QUALITY PRINTING
Disadvantages: CHEAPER ALTERNATIVES

...HP 56 BLACK INKJET PRINT CARTRIDGE You may have heard of a two car family, well I hate to say it that we are now a two printer family. My wife who has a laptop was constantly using my printer for her own work and funnily enough, my ink cartridges were constantly running out, so we decided to invest in a second printer which takes HP cartridges number 56 (black) and number 57 (colour).

Fantastic print quality but high maintenance costs

Advantages: Superb print quality
Disadvantages: High cost and use

...I bought this colour cartridge for my HP Deskjet D4260 and have found that the colours are absolutely fantastic! I have never seen such crisp, clear quality on a printer before. Even when I printed photographs on standard paper rather than photo paper, the quality was still superb. Also printed documents were of very extremely good quality. I usually print out all documents in draft quality rather than choosing the available normal or best print option, simply for the reason to make printing more economical and to make the cartridge longer. And I have to say that even the draft printed quality of documents on the HP 351 and HP 350 (Black) XL are very good. I never had to choose the normal option, not even when sending letters and invoices to customers. I have always found the cartridges very easy to fit and have never experienced...

Review of HP 351XL - print cartridge (CB338EE)

Great for Occasional Printing

Advantages: Good quality low volume printing
Disadvantages: Needs replacing quite often

...28 cartridge maintains a high standard right through until the last few pages. The suitable HP printers for the cartridge have a cleaning function to help sustain this. I have used the cartridge on a range of papers and also OHP film and have found this to be the case throughout. The number 28 cartridge prints good quality photographs, although it is necessary to leave the printed page to dry for a few moments to avoid smudging. One major drawback with the cartridge is that it only prints approximately 190 pages. One or two heavy printing jobs and you will find that your cartridge needs replacing once again. Although at approximately £12.65 (amazon.co.uk) the cartridge is relatively cheaper compared to others, but in the long run this would not be cost effective. As HP have given each cartridge a code, i.e. 28, it is much easier to...

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...
