Original Manufacturers Products

The toner and cartridges at toner24.co.uk are the recommended, original ink products from the manufacturer, guaranteeing the best printer results as described by the printer model specifications. Ink and toner is available from almost 70 different manufacturers, including Brother, Apple, Panasonic, Canon and Epson.

Why OEM Inks and Toners are Best

Very often, generic inks or refills cannot match the original composition of the ink that the printer was designed to work with. While this may work for a short period of time, if the ink in the printer is too thick or too volatile then extended use may lead to clogged nozzles in the printer head, and therefore to reduced print quality. Printer inks from the manufacturer are designed and formulated to match up with the mechanism of the printer. This ensures the ink flows smoothly from the cartridge to the paper, giving crisp images and text every time.

Extending the Life of Toner and Cartridges

Naturally you want to get the best return on your investment, and when you buy toner and cartridges at toner24.co.uk we want to help you do that. Use the printer regularly. This helps to keep the print nozzles moist, preventing the drying out that leads to blockages that cause ink or toner wastage.

- Don’t print more pages than needed. Check the document in print preview mode to ensure the layout is as expected. Adjust the text if necessary before printing it out so that fewer printing mistakes are made.

- Use the fast, or economical, print function to minimise the amount of ink the printer uses. Unless the document is graphic rich or intended for professional usage, the fast print option will likely produce documents that are good enough for everyday or personal use.

Price

Brick and mortar stores need employees to unload, unpack, and stock products, so customers pay higher prices to make up for the expense of employee overhead. When people buy their ink cartridges online, they do not have to pay a premium. Buying online also gives customers access to special discounts and sales that they would not be able to find in retail stores.

Convenience

Shopping for ink cartridges at a traditional store is a hassle, especially for people who live in rural areas. Buying a cartridge in person involves driving to the store, trying to find a salesperson, and waiting in long lines. Shopping online completely eliminates these inconveniences. Buyers can shop any time of the day and order the products they need without the hassle of trying to find a parking space or waiting in line behind a customer with a full cart.

Selection

Retail stores typically stock a very small selection of ink cartridges, making it a hassle for shoppers to find the specific products they need. If a store does not have a particular cartridge in stock, the shopper has to drive around town to find another store. Online shoppers can choose from a very wide selection of ink cartridges and printer accessories. Online stores even have cartridges for photo printers and high-quality graphics printers, making online shopping a convenient alternative.
Specialist printer product suppliers offer a variety of ink and toner cartridges at excellent prices.

Choose a Printer Wisely

There are a lot of printers that look and work great for very inexpensive prices. However, most buyers don’t think or even consider how much the printer ink replacements can cost when buying a unit. With a bit of research that can be performed freely on the Internet, a buyer can quickly compare both the cost and the quantity of respective cartridges before buying a printer. This little bit of study can translate to serious savings for people who know how to find bargains.

Avoid Eating Up the Ink

Most printers and their software are defaulted for high quality output when printing. This provides the sharpest, cleanest copy for a user. However, it also eats up the most ink. When printing, if the copy is just a draft or a simple Word document for internal use, the print job settings should be adjusted to reflect this. It avoids burning through toner ink too quickly and it makes the cartridges last longer.

Buy in Bulk

Manufacturers and office retailers count on consumers to buy their ink and toner as ingle units as and when they are needed. This is mainly because the unit price for an individual cartridge can be so expensive that buyers are reluctant to buy more than they need right then and there. However, if a buyer purchases toner in bulk, the savings can be as much as 20 percent off the single unit price. If toner needs to be in stock for a long period, why pay more than necessary for it? Jumbo packs and multi-packs can be had both in retail and online stores for far less.

Consider Refilling

Many ink manufacturers try to hook buyers into only purchasing their specific toner. However, these same cartridges can be refilled for half the cost at refilling service vendors. The process still uses the same toner cartridge, which is compatible with the printer, but the ink replacement itself is a lot cheaper.

Color

You need to determine if you need to make color prints or not. Color ink adds to the price of running your business, as black and gray scale printers are quicker to produce and don’t use as many resources.

Of course, you can still purchase a color printer for your business, just remove the color cartridge and inform the computer to print always in gray scale.

Speed

Generally, gray scale prints are faster than color prints, so keep this in mind.

Features

Some printers are able to staple, organize, bind and perform a variety of tasks all on their own. This saves you the time of stapling all the contents yourself. If this is a necessary feature you are looking for, opt for such a printer that possesses it. The feature does cost additional funds, but when it saves time, each and every day, having these different options is going to prove valuable, as the time saved allows you to focus in on other tasks around the business office.
