Epson Ink Cartridges

Finding Epson Printer Cartridges is easy here at UK Ink Supplies. We currently have hundreds of different Epson Cartridges to offer you including both Epson branded and Jet Tec branded cartridges - the leading UK manufacture of compatible Epson ink cartridges.

The History of Epson

Seiko Epson Corporation (Epson) was founded in 1942 by Hisao Yamazaki, a local clock shop owner, in Japan and started as a producer of watch parts.

When the Seiko Group was assigned the task to be the official time keeper for the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games, Epson was assigned to develop a printing timer. To date, they have become famous for pioneering the piezoelectric Inkjet Technology. Printers using this technology do not heat the ink when printing like other inkjet printers do.

Today, Epson is one of the largest suppliers within the printer market, offering inkjet printers, laser printers, scanners and dot matrix printers for every use from the home to commercial printing.

Interested in Epson Compatible Cartridges?

Buying an original Epson cartridge is not cheap, with sets of cartridges costing upwards to £100.00. Fortunately, the market has been opening up in the last few years and there are now choices out there for those that want to buy an Epson compatible cartridge instead. These cartridges are manufactured to be 100% compatible with the Epson printer and to meet the standard set by Epson for their cartridges.

Epson have always produced printers with a permanent printhead. This has historically made the Epson ink cartridges cheaper than many other printer makers, because of the simplicity of the ink tank. The reason for this is that the Epson cartridge only contained the printer ink and no or few electronics.

Epson have in the last years introduced new printers to the market that use cartridges that contain a chip. The goal with this chip was to make it impossible for other ink manufacturers to create an Epson compatible cartridge. Luckily for Epson printer owners, other ink manufacturers such as Jet Tec have been able to create fully compatible cartridges that also include an Epson compatible chip.

Jet Tec: Ink Cartridges with a Difference for Epson Printers

Jet Tec have developed a high standard of quality in the manufacturing of ink cartridges their clients can trust.  The UK is the home of Jet Tec, where their ink cartridges go through a stringent testing procedure.

There are also low-quality cartridges manufactured in China that are inferior to those of Jet Tec. Using these cartridges often results in unacceptable print quality and possibly negatively affects the printer's lifespan. Therefore, many people presume the quality of all other compatible ink cartridges to be similar. Award winning advanced technology has made it possible for Jet Tec to manufacture high quality ink cartridges which can at least match the print quality of genuine cartridges.

Small quantities of left-over ink residue is often present inside all printer cartridges after use. That is to say that the residual ink is left unused. To utilise this ink and also to compete with its competitors, Jet Tec invented the "Extra Life" system. This system is unique to Jettec themselves and can't be found in any other printer cartridges. Jet Tec devised the Extra Life system to ensure that every single drop of ink from their cartridges are used. When the printer alerts that the Jet Tec ink cartridge has run out of ink, simply restart the printer to unlock the extra ink and thus making it last up to 100% longer than the OEM/Original cartridge.

Extra Life ink cartridges are superior over the rest and come specially devised with an embedded chip. These printer cartridges have an unparalleled feed system which is proficient in using all ink within the cartridge ink tank. This is a remarkably unique innovation by Jet Tec towards the ever increasing steps to protect the environment and satisfy the customer.

Millions of printer cartridges end up in landfills after reaching the end of their lives and take ages to decompose. Believe it or not, but all of Jet Tec's recycled ink cartridges are produced from used cartridges. All printer cartridges are recycled at their very own Recycling Factory. Only after undergoing these tests, are the cartridges refilled and dispatched to various shops. This process proves beneficial for both you and the environment and nearly 80% of all cartridges collected for recycling are successfully remanufactured.

Printers: A Practical Buyers Guide

Buying a printer can be a complicated business: there are more shapes and sizes and types of printers available to the home and small business user than ever before. Printers have also become specialised for their intended purpose.
It is no longer a case of "a printer is a printer". Printers are now designed to be good in a particular area rather than a "Jack-of-all trades", which will do everything.
An often overlooked issue, is the very serious consideration of cost of ownership, which is all about of how much it will cost to keep your printer running. So, making that decision on which printer to go for can be a seriously arduous task, especially if you are keen to buy a printer that is not only affordable to buy but also cheap to run.
So here is the information that you need to know and consider, but no one tells you! We have not expanded on which printer is the best at any given time because models constantly change and you can find that information in any current glossy PC magazine off the shelf. Instead, here you will find the good, bad and ugly bits from the different types of printers available so you can make an informed decision yourself.

Inkjet Printer Technology
Inkjet printers form images by spraying tiny droplets of liquid ink onto paper. The size and precision of the dots of ink and the type and quality of the ink itself govern how good the print quality is. A quality inkjet printer can produce very near photo-quality images using specialist photo coated paper. In general there are two types of inkjet printers, those with the printhead built into the printer like Epson, Brother etc and those where the printhead is actually on the ink cartridge like HP and Lexmark. There are many arguments for and against both technologies, but in our experience we have found both to be very good, the major difference seems to be that the cost of running a printer using the "printhead" type ink cartridge is usually higher.
Inkjet ink is specially formulated for specific printer models and their purpose, much technology is involved in the development of these inks to improve print quality, longevity, drying speeds and printing speeds etc. Most inkjet ink is produced using dye based ink which can flow easily through the tiny nozzles of the printhead, this type of ink is good for photos and colour shades but not so good for longevity or solid vibrant colour, think of it like a water colour painting. In recent years pigment ink technology has advanced considerably to enable use in inkjet printing. Previously ink pigments were too large and would block up the nozzles. This type of ink is good for solid colours and longevity, think of it like an oil painting.
Manufacturers like Epson, HP and Jet Tec are now increasingly using a fusion of dye based and pigmented inks to create superb quality photo printing with vibrant colours and longevity too.
Inkjet printers use anything between two and eight ink cartridges to do their job. Generally speaking the entry-level machines use two cartridges, good all round machines use four and specialist photo printers use six or more. The two cartridge system works fine though can be a bit wasteful on the colour ink, so go for a four-cartridge system where possible especially if you do colour printing. The six or more cartridge systems produce outstanding photos, but can be costly and a pain to keep changing cartridges (printer does not work if any one cartridge is empty).
Inkjet printers are the best solution for most people and are usually the most cost effective way to print - unless you are printing large volumes.
Portable Inkjet Printers These printers are small, lightweight and ideal for people on the move. Although the printing of high quality photographs is usually beyond this type of printer, basic colour printing is of good quality and the quality of text print is mostly outstanding considering the size of these tiny portable A4 printers. These printers are not suitable for high volume printing.

Inkjet Printers
The Inkjet Printer is the most commonly used type of printer among home and small business users. With excellent all round printing capabilities, from black & white text print and good colour prints through to very hi-resolution, high quality photographs using Inkjet Photo Printers. Inkjet printers are available from cheap entry level to high-end business use machines and can print from photo size prints to massive A2 and bigger sizes, there are models for occasional use and others for high volume print jobs too. One of the many great things about Inkjet printers is that you can use a wide variety of media to print on, including standard paper, photo paper, card, t-shirt transfers, canvas, projector film etc, achieving different looks and textures for your prints and print for different purposes. Most Inkjet printers are USB connections and not suitable for networks, although models are also available for networks and with parallel connections.

Multi-Function Inkjet Printers
Multi-Function Inkjet Printers have been built to meet the needs of home offices and small businesses. These excellent value machines provide multiple solutions in one compact and easy to use machine i.e. printing, scanning, copying and some also have built in fax machines too. Not only are these machines great for saving space on your desk, but they are also very good for printing too using the same technology as standard inkjet printers. The only thing you should be aware of is that you can only use one function at a time and if anything goes wrong with an "All-in-one" machine, you may lose the all the functions at once!

Cost of Ownership
Many printers today are very cheap to buy, but people are sometimes shocked to discover the cost of replacing the consumables (ink or laser cartridges, imaging drums, fuser, oils, specialist papers etc). The cost of replacing the ink can sometimes cost more than the printer itself! This is one of the most commonly overlooked factors when printers are reviewed and yet one of the most important things to consider before handing over your hard earned cash. Tests run in 2003 by Which? magazine famously compared the cost of HP's ink with vintage 1985 Dom Perignon.
A Sheffield City Council report aimed at helping schools decide on the best-value printers to buy, calculated total cost of ownership over the lifetime of a printer (not sure how long that is!). Adding up all the running costs, ink or toner, paper, maintenance and even electricity, SCC worked out that a colour inkjet costs approx 38p per page to run compared to a colour laser which costs approx 7p per page. Sheffield City Council advised its schools that if they printed more than three colour pages a day (assuming a 40-week academic year) they should buy a laser.
These figures cannot be taken hard and fast due to the many variables involved, but it is generally accepted that the cost per print of a laser printer is cheaper than that of an inkjet, which is in turn cheaper than that of a sub-dye printer. However, you would have to do a fair amount of colour printing to take advantage of the economy offered by a laser printer.

Useful Inkjet Printer Tips by UK Ink Supplies

Tip 1. Always use the on/off switch to turn the printer off after use - never just turn off at the mains electricity supply, as this can sometimes cause problems when it is switched back on again.

Tip 2. Avoid leaving the printer cartridge cradle empty. Never remove the old cartridge until you are ready to install the new (Jet Tec) one. As always, Jet Tec ink cartridges are recommended as a quality, but cheaper means of running your printer.

Tip 3. One of the best tips for keeping your printer running efficiently is to use it regularly. Lack of use can give out poor quality printing.

Tip 4. Most inkjet printers come with software for cleaning and aligning the heads. It is suggested that you run these at least once a month to maintain print quality. Keeping your Jet Tec printer cartridge heads clean, will help to keep your printer running smoothly.

Tip 5. Generally, most inkjet printers print well on most types of printing paper, but occasionally some lower quality paper can reduce the printer's output and cause unwanted paper jams. For photographs, Jet Tec's Agfa printing paper is recommended.
