Ink jet printers use ink cartridges to 'spray' ink through a print-head onto the printing media (uaually paper). The print head blends black, cyan, magenta and yellow ink to create all colors of the rainbow. There are two types of ink jet printers each with different types of ink jet
cartridges.
- One type of printer (Brother, Canon, Epson and others) has the printhead build right into the printer. The ink cartridges for these printers is nothing more than a holding-tank full of ink with an exit-port which fits snugly on top of the printhead and supplies
the printer with ink. The Printer Toner Warehouse sells compatible ink cartridges to replace these cartridges at significant discounts over what you're currently paying for cartridges. These compatible ink cartridges are manufactured to match the specifications of the in k cartridge which came with your printer
- The other type of printer (HP, Lexmark, Xerox and others) has the printhead built right in the ink cartridge. The printhead is, in effect, disposable. The printer communicates with the print-head via a copper strip which is really a printed circuit also
built into the ink cartridge. The circuitry for these cartridges is patent protected so compatible cartridges are not available for them. The Printer Toner Warehouse sells remanufactured ink cartridges (cartridges which have been used once, cleaned, rebuilt, filled with ink and tested)
to replace these cartridges, again at a significant discount over what you currently pay for cartridges.
