Types of printer cartridges available from UK Ink Supplies

A wide variety of different ink cartridges and laser toners are available on the UK market, all of which are available from UK Ink Supplies. These are the definitions of the types of cartridges available on the market today.

OEM/Original
An original or OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) ink or toner cartridge is the branded product of the printer manufacturer. Therefore, if you have a Canon printer, the original toner cartridge will be manufactured by Canon. As you would expect the printer manufacturer will always encourage consumers to buy their own branded product. We do supply a large range or original products, but recommend Jet Tec ink cartridges and laser toners for both quality and value for money.

Remanufactured
We supply Jet Tec and GreenTech remanufactured laser toners and ink cartridges. A remanufactured ink cartridge is a refilled original cartridge. Many printer manufacturers now encourage people to recycle ink cartridges and toner cartridges. These recycled cartridges are then remanufactured and refilled. Remanufactred Cartridges are cheaper and often contain a lot more ink than the originals. It is the environmentally friendlier solution that you can depend on to perform as well and last every bit as long as the original. The remanufacturing of toner and Inkjet cartridges has saved millions of cartridges from being dumped in refill sites, and brought cost savings to the consumers.

Compatible
We supply Jet Tec compatible ink cartridges. Compatible cartridges are brand new cartridges supplied by an independent manufacturer. Compatible cartridges are manufactured to the same standards as original cartridges but are normally significantly cheaper. Any Compatible cartridges supplied to you by us are 100% guaranteed for a year. Furthermore, many Jet Tec compatible ink cartridges are designed to print up to 100% more than the Original ink cartridge!

Jet Tec: Print More. Pay Less
Jet Tec is Europe's leading manufacturer of compatible and recycled printer products. Jet Tec has been established for over 25 years at its UK manufacturing base and is renowned for the quality, reliability and patented technology of their products. At UKInkSupplies.com we only stock products that we believe represent the best value and quality on the market, we have nearly a decade of experience selling Jet Tec products throughout Europe and firmly believe that switching to Jet Tec will change the way you think about printing.

Jet Tec: Extra Life
Most Jet Tec cartridges supplied for Canon and Epson printers offer unique technology called "Extra Life". With many ink cartridges it is common to find that the printer reports the cartridge as empty whilst there is still ink in the cartridge. Extra Life technology ensures that every last drop of the ink in the cartridge is utilised - giving you more prints and better value. All Jet Tec cartridges are guaranteed to print at least the same amount as the original cartridge.

Jet Tec: Better For The Environment
Jet Tec adhere to the highest environmental processes in the production and design of their cartridges. Many of today's manufacturers of printer cartridges are based in China, with the long distance transportation involved there are huge volumes of greenhouse gases emitted. Jet Tec products are manufactured in the UK and therefore travel a shorter distance. Combine this with the UKInkSupplies.com commitment of using land and sea based transport to transfer our goods between our distribution centres and you can be certain that carbon emissions are kept to an absolute minimum.


Jet Tec: Unique Patented Technology
Jet Tec cartridges may look different from the original cartridge supplied by your printer manufacturer. This is because the technology built in to the cartridge is unique and patented by Jet Tec. The cartridges are guaranteed to deliver the same number of prints as the original cartridge and in some cases can deliver significantly more prints than the original. All the cartridges are manufactured in the UK at a custom built facility with the highest quality assurance and manufacturing processes implemented.

Jet Tec: Bring Your Pictures To Life
You want to save money and you still want that photo of your granddaughters first birthday or your son's graduation to look as dazzling as the moment they were taken when you share them with friends and family. Jet Tec cartridges match the original manufacturers guidelines for light-fastness ensuring that your precious moments stay as true as your memories for a lifetime.

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.
