Key Elements About HP’s PageWide Technology

Hewlett-Packard or simply HP has been one of the leading giants in printing technology since the day their business emerged in the industry. Back in 1998 they astounded everyone in the field of printer technology with such great development. They were able to develop a disposable print head that comes built-in into the cartridges, particularly their supplies.The value of this breakthrough is phenomenal, and truly it deserves credits. 

Key Elements About HP’s PageWide Technology
Unlike before, printer consumables have their print heads permanently installed into the cartridge itself. Thus, they tend to clog since the said component can’t be replaced resulting to output quality inconsistency. That is the just one of the few complications that the print industry had to deal with until HP developed the solution long ago.

Surprisingly, though not that much, HP once again took the position as the forefront in the development of a new breakthrough of print head design. Now widely known as PageWide technology, this totally amazing improvement first appeared in HP’s previous released of their company’s newest range of Officejet Pro X-series inkjet printers. The series includes – X451DN, X551DW, X476DN and X576DW. These four models use HP 970XL (black ink) and HP 971XL color ink cartridges as replacements.

According to the manufacturer, these are the key elements that you should know about PageWide technology:

  • A pagewide printhead has 10 HP Thermal inkjet chips called dies. Each die has 1,056 nozzles for each four colors. Thus, a single die has a total of 4,224 nozzles and 42,420 nozzles on the printhead.


  • Their newest formulated HP pigment inks particularly the black is expected to produce high-black optical density in just a single pass. While in general, inks in each cartridge can resist cross-contamination during storage, installation and printing process.


  •  In terms of speed, it literally made a few steps forward by offering new machines that are capable of high-speed printing at up to 70 pages per minute. These printers are not laser types or even associated with lasers though, yet they’re advanced enough to beat or even outperform one.


  •  The printheads are said to last until the lifetime of the machine.


  •  Aside that it can detect when the cartridge is running low or out of ink, it also comes with automatic nozzle health sensing, active and passive nozzle substitution, and automatic printhead servicing.


To simply put it, this HP PageWide technology is literally an advanced breakthrough that once again made a tremendous changed in the print industry particularly in printing technology. Who knows what might have been next, let's just cross our fingers that by the time they will surprise the industry for the nth time around, we can still witness it.

How to Clear Ink Cartridge Missing Error Message with your HP OfficeJet 8000 Printer

Cartridge Missing Error Message with your HP OfficeJet 8000 Printer
More often than usual, this error occurs when a recently installed ink cartridge on the HP OfficeJet 8000 printer is defective. The message that will appear on the screen may indicate a missing or damaged cartridge right after the replacement. Another possible reason is maybe you have installed an incompatible model which won’t really work with your unit.

Error Indications

• The LED indicator for each color of HP 940XL ink cartridge is blinking. 
• The unit won’t print even if it’s turn ON and has no paper jams. 
• An error message appears on the display after installing a new cartridge. Check the items you installed

To resolve the problem, first check if you’re using the right model of supply such as ink and printhead. Using wrong cartridges even if they fit on your printer, it doesn't mean it would work properly and exactly the same as the one mainly intended for it.

Replace what’s missing

If an item is literally missing, then just install the appropriate cartridge. If any of the cartridges in used is running low of ink, the same approach should work on it. Refer on the solution below to replace the inks inside. Before you start, confirm that all the ink cartridges are inside the printer. If yes, then we may have a conclusion that probably one of the inks is low, empty or damaged.

To begin, first turn the printer on and check what color of ink is causing the problem by checking the LED indicators at the upper left side of the unit.

Open the door that covers the cartridges and check the issue. In case there’s no missing cartridge, still you have to remove the cartridge indicated from the error.

Using your thumb and forefinger pull it out and hold on its both sides. Give it a gentle shake near your ear to determine the amount of inks left inside the tank. Is it empty or not? Basically, you will now when you need to install replacements through viewing the ink level notification on your printer’s screen display.

If the item is fine and still full of inks, reseat it back to the machine. Perhaps there’s a miscommunication between the contact from the cartridge and its carriage and re-installing it might solve the error.

Just repeat the steps above with the other cartridges having the same problem. Then close the cover and restart the printer.

If it doesn't resolve the problem, perform a quick printer reset by unplugging the unit from the outlet for less than a minute. Plug it back afterwards and press the power button to turn it on.

HP OfficeJet Pro 276dw Color MFP Inkjet Printer

HP OfficeJet Pro 276dw Color MFP Inkjet Printer
If you prefer an inkjet printer that has the support for CPL and PostScript at a marginal price, the HP OfficeJet Pro 276dw multifunction printer is just the right one. Its set of features is nearly identical to what a color laser printer could offer, specifically for a small-size office. Also it allows you to print, scan, copy and fax, either through wired or wirelessly over a network, and is capable of working as a standalone copier or fax machine.

Since the support of mobile printing is becoming more and more common in most printers nowadays, the 276dw wouldn't want to be left behind. Through its built in Ethernet and WiFi interfaces, users can be able to connect to the Internet and enable cloud printing. Apps such as AirPrint, aside from the printer's own HP ePrint app, can also be downloaded and use to print files directly from any iOS supported devices to the printer. In addition, HP also has their very own Wireless Direct, a counterpart of WiFi Direct, which allows users to connect their mobile devices to the printer even without the presence of a wireless network.

Paper capacity is quite enough considering that it's dedicated for small-level printing, however it doesn't have a multipurpose tray which means that switching the loaded paper to a different type can be a common task. its main tray can hold a maximum of 250 sheets of plain paper, with standard duplexing (double-sided printing) support. The good news is, the printer's paper handling capacity can be expanded by purchasing the optional 250-sheet second tray, maxing it out to a total of 500 sheets.

The 276dw's scanning functionality is quite impressive, offering a 50-page ADF (automatic-document-feeder), supplemented with a legal-size flatbed scanner. Duplexing works both for copying and scanning purposes, though flipping the page is a manual task.

For a small working environment with less printing needs, a quoted monthly duty cycle of 30,000 pages serves enough. Additionally, a maximum print resolution of 1200 x 1200dpi (dots-per-inch) can possibly produce optimal professional-quality printouts in both black and color printing. HP's thermal inkjet technology, which the 276dw uses, provides a significant reduction in printing cost since it only requires 4 hp inkjet cartridges (CYMK). Its consumables part number are : HP 950 (black), HP 951C (cyan), HP 951M (magenta), HP 951Y (yellow) - all in standard yield. While its high-yield cartridges are : HP 950XL (black) and HP 951XL for the CYM inks.

HP Inkjet Cartridges And Laser Toner Cartridges Closed-Loop Recycling Program

HP have kept millions of customers satisfied with their quality products such as print devices, ink and toner consumables, and a variety of printer supplies. Through the company's outstanding technology used in the production of these products they continue their strong commitment to provide excellent printing solutions that targets small, medium or even large working and business environments. Along with this success, Hewlett-Packard's recycling program such as HP Planet Partners also made a good outcome.

Post-consumer wastes like HP inkjet cartridges and laser toner cartridges can be returned optionally by the consumer from which the company's recycling facilities will gladly accept these used products. It's optional, however as a responsible customer, it's ideal that you learn to participate in such recycling programs regardless of what manufacturer you're in.

To those who are very much loyal to Hewlett-Packard, and would like to join in with their fast growing recycling community, there are two easy ways to choose from. One option is by dropping off your items to any participating pick up retail locations and you're done. Click here for the full list of HP Authorized Retail Collection Location. Second option is mailing it, but first you have to order a postage-paid shipping materials where you can put all those post-consumer items that you want to return to HP for their closed loop recycling program.

Brand new HP printer cartridges are also made out of post-consumers sources, which practically means that the consumables you're currently using with your printer right now, is also a product of HP's recycling process. This program is completely free and it should be, hence anyone can participate and be part of a closed-loop system that involves the consumer and the product itself.

Just for a fact, since the recycling program started in the year 1991, roughly a total of 500 million HP inkjet cartridges and laser toner cartridges have been recycled worldwide. Returned printer consumables were used as raw materials in the manufacturing process of new hp cartridges. Thus, million pounds of natural resources and petroleum materials were conserved in the past years. Plus, the fact that post-consumer wastes from HP undergo recycling, the company greatly reduce the amount of waste that end up in the landfills.

Save 50 Percent Less Energy With HP Officejet Pro 251DW MFP Printer

HP Officejet Pro 251DW MFP Printer
Recently we've got a post about the launching of two new inkjet printers from HP which include Officejet Pro Black&White 3610 and 3620, which are both an all-in-one machine. Although it's an inkjet type, there are certain features from which they can matched up with a laser type printer. Now for our featured printer today, here's another addition to Pro series, the Officejet Pro 251DW printer.

It has an essentially inferior fast print speed, and is also compatible to work with most apps that supports printing through the cloud. Suitable for micro offices, the Pro 251DW can serve as workgroup printer for mid-heavy level of printing needs. The size of it makes the machine a bit off to share a space in your office desk, guess it'll be perfect to let it have it's own space.

Paper handling capacity includes a 250-sheet input tray, a 150-sheet output tray, plus a standard duplexer for double-sided printing which can be useful for any office environments. If you want to max out the paper capacity, there's an available 250-sheet tray which is optional to maximize the machine's capacity by 500 sheets. For connectivity interfaces, the 251DW features a high-speed USB host, built-in Ethernet for wired connection and WiFi support for wireless connection.

The printer's required consumables are claimed to yield up to 2300 pages in plain black text printing, given that you use original HP inkjet cartridges. HP rated the printer with a print speed at up to 20 ppm (pages-per-minute) in mono printing, while 14 ppm in coloured. Set up can be quite easy even for a new printer user, to some who are used to installing such devices it's actually common.

Since it supports printing through the cloud, aside from HP's well-known app called HP ePrint, you can also make use of Apple AirPrint for printing from tablets, smartphone and iOS devices. In addition, to those who don't have access to a wireless point, HP created a workaround by including WiFi Direct to the printer's supported app/softtware. Through Wireless Direct, users are still allowed to print from mobile devices even without a router.

For medium sized offices, the HP Officejet Pro 251DW makes a good choice considering its essential features, and add-on which makes the printer a bit costly compare to other models from its range. When it comes to print speed and paper capacity, this model can give you both plus a bonus of average output quality.

HP Officejet Pro Black and White 3610 and 3620 AIO Printers

Along with HP's event from where they launched the printer models inline with the Officejet Pro X500 series, HP India also recently announced two new inkjet printers - Officejet Pro Black & White 3610 and Officejet Pro Black & White 3620 AIO printers. Both models use inkjet printing technology, but can offer comparable quality and performance just like a laser type printer.

From their name itself, these two new printers particularly from the Office Pro Black & White series only require black hp inkjet cartridges, monochrome precisely. Sounds like a mono laser printer right? Compared to regular inkjet printers that typically use a set of black and color cartridges, 3610 and 3620 work as  a monochrome inkjet printer.

Since there are customers that prefer inkjets rather than laser types, and they only want to print mostly in plain black, HP's Officejet Pro Black & White printers are perfectly good enough. The Hewlett-Packard Co. was aiming to provide an efficient and reliable machine to customers who rely heavily on laser toner cartridges. On top of the great idea that an inkjet runs the same like a laserjet, the overall running and operating costs of Officejet Pro Black & White printers are also of par to most laser models in the market.

During the said event, Director Nitin Hiranandani stated :
"We at HP continue to advance inkjet innovation to help businesses succeed. The latest HP Officejet Pro 3610/ 3620 Black & White series features high print quality and reliability that offers businesses peace of mind at a very low cost."
Included in their set of additional features are the following : automatic duplexing for double-sided printing, built-in Ethernet, support for HP ePrint and Apple AirPrint. Aside from the basic functionality of printing, copying and scanning, the only difference between the 3610 and 3620 is the additional features that you can only find with the second model which features fax sending and an ADF (automatic-document-feeder).

First-Rate Apple AirPrint Supported Printers To Buy

First-Rate Apple AirPrint Supported Printers To Buy
Apple website provides a full list of printer models that support the Apple AirPrint app. But which among those compatible printers from their checklist can be the best or the most outstanding device in terms of AirPrint support. Let's start our own rundown with the perfect AirPrint printing buddies for office working environment.

The HP Photosmart 5520 eAIO printer is one of the considerable and affordable model from the HP list of Apple AirPrint compatible printers. Followed by the HP Envy 120 eAIO that supports not only printing from your iOS device, but can also charge your device while waiting for your printout. If you want a luxurious equipment that supports a wide variety of business apps including AirPrint, consider the HP Laserjet Pro 200 (MFP M276nw). Printers from the HP Officejet Pro X series are highly noted for their incredibly fast printing speed, topped with above-average output quality which makes them a good choice. There are a few models that support printing from virtually anywhere, but for now these HP printers are considered first-rate among the others. Their price tag falls in the bracket of somewhat affordable machines, however the consumables particularly HP inkjet cartridges will cost you more than the unit itself. Aside from Apple's well-known AirPrint, the Officejet Pro X series is also compatible to work with other similar applications.

Cost-wise, if you want a mid-priced AirPrint compatible printer that can also provide a decent set of features, Canon has a wide range to offer. Last 2011, there were three canon printers that get to support Apple AirPrint app, these are the PIXMA MG8220, MG6220 and MG5320. As it seems, the MG series continues the legacy by releasing more AirPrint supported PIXMA printers particularly from the MG family. If you're asking which one among those Canon printers is the most worthy,  I say it is the MG5350. It even had a video from YouTube that shows how easy it is to use the printer and print from an iOS device through AirPrint.

Now if you really need a much affordable machine that supports Apple AirPrint app, Epson printers are populating this bracket. One of the company's best selling model is the Epson XP-302 that offers low upfront and running cost. There's also the WorkForce WF-3520DWF AirPrint supported printer, which is a bit pricey. Epson's XP series are suitable to serve as home printers, and its majority support Apple AirPrint app.

If you need a full list of printer models from all brands, check out Apple's website or click this link..

HP DesignJet T120 ePrinter For Wide-Format Color Printing

From DeskJet we go to HP's DesignJet series, a wide-format color printer capable of printing D-sized photos, the HP DesignJet T120 ePrinter, built purposely for engineers and architects who need a machine for large-scale printing. It can either be placed on a desk/table or use an optional stand to utilize its maximum ability. With a dimension about 11.2" x 38.9" x 20.9", definitely it needs a stand which can be bought at around $249, it's a must accessory.Actually believe it or not, it is the smallest sized wide-format printer in its class.

The DesignJet T120 was rated with a speed of up to 1.3 min/page (D-Color image), and 70 sec/page (D-Color line drawing) both in draft mode printing. Although it's more specific to use for printing full-color photos and graphics, it can also be use for standard office files like text, etc. Printout quality can be considered above-average for a wide-format inkjet printer.

For an engineer that requires a graphic-arts printer, this one is fair enough to consider. In terms of speed and output quality, it's actually a tough printer for what it serves. Additionally, the T120 ePrinter features a generously large touchscreen display about 4.3 full-color intuitive LCD for easy-to-use system navigation.

As the title of the printer speaks for itself, the HP DesignJet T120 ePrinter supports printing from virtually anywhere using iOS or Android powered devices, even laptops and tablets that are Web connectivity enabled. Even if you're away from the machine, still you can access or print documents via HP Designjet ePrint and Share app, or just email and print it to your T120 ePrinter through its web connectivity feature.

The T120 ePrinter surprisingly uses only four standard HP inkjet cartridges (cyan, magenta, yellow, black), unlike with most machines within its class that houses several ink tanks which includes a light version of each colors, plus a gray and photo-black ink. Hence, you don't have to worry about the expense of purchasing replacement HP inkjet cartridges for your DesignJet T120 printer.

Its paper handling supports media sizes like 8.3 to 24 inch wide sheets and 11 to 24 inch rolls. To setup the sheets/roll, there are two dowels on each side which holds the roll by placing caps on both ends.

With all these specs and features, it really is an excellent choice for all architecture, engineering, and construction professionals that require large-scale material. Printing photos and graphics with the HP DesignJet T120 ePrinter can be more than good enough, as well as with monochrome prints.

HP DeskJet 2510 All In One Color Inkjet Printer

HP DeskJet 2510 All In One Color Inkjet Printer
HP's Deskjet series comes with a new mid-range color AIO inkjet printer, the HP Deskjet 2510. It's quite identical with the HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2510, the only difference is actually their color cause the later comes in black. This printer model provides simplicity in all means, which makes it an easy to use device as a home printing buddy.

The Deskjet 2510 supports a limited connectivity interface, such that a USB cable is your only resort to connect it to a PC, with no WiFi nor Ethernet. Whilst setup is easy, just plug it and it's good to print. It features an LCD screen small enough to display the number of prints and copies, complemented with six buttons - ON/OFF, Scan, Cancel, Monochrome, Color, and Enlarge/Reduce. The Enlarge/Reduce functionality can be used for enlarging copies up to 50%, or reduce it by 50%.

HP rated the Deskjet 2510 with a print speed up to 20 ppm (pages per minute) in draft black mode, while it can hit 16 ppm in draft color printing. It's considerably fast when compared to most printers within the same price range, plus it offers a print resolution of up to 600 dpi (monochrome). In addition, using the printer's resizing functionality, a user can enlarge a 4:6 sized photo in to A4 max size.

It's actually a great value machine if you're more into printing photos and images, or full-color files. Output quality was fairly good considering the machine's price, that's why it's kind of recommended for full page photograph printing, although you might think of the cost. The Deskjet 2510 uses Thermal Inkjet technology, thus HP inkjet cartridges replacement can be typically costly.

Paper handling was also a bit short, its input tray can handle 60 sheets of plain paper or 20 sheets of photo paper, while its output tray can only hold 25 paper sheet. Though it also supports printing in several types of media including envelopes, index cards, letter-sized glossy photo papers, etc.

The HP Deskjet 2510 AIO inkjet printer is considerably a good choice, it's literally low-priced, offering a good set of functionality and features, low print cost except for the ink cartridges replacement, and just don't mind the lack of WiFi networking cause if you don't need to print wirelessly, this one is really of great value. Since we can't go into much details as my knowledge about the printer was awfully limited as of now, I'll try to keep you posted for updates or any news regarding this Deskjet model.  .

Your Printer Is Just As Good As The Cartridges You Use

We've had a lot of printer reviews from the recent months, but not enough to say we're done. Let's just say that we sometimes need to consider giving credits to one of it's essential consumables. Printers of all types can be use by offices, businesses or any individual, however without this printer consumable equipped on your machine, outputs wouldn't be delivered regardless of what model or brand your printer may be. Whatever printing purposes you have, these ink and toner cartridges are the tools responsible for developing text, images, and all other printouts a user need.

Good performance without quality is less important, and vice-versa, cause a product should be of both good-quality and decent performance. Printer ink and toner formulations may vary depending from its brand manufacturer as well as the model of printer it will be used for. It is a good practice to first check or make a simple research on what particular brands of printer cartridges are mostly selling in the market, not only because they're less expensive but because of their premium quality. Model preferences will follow once you've find the suitable manufacturer of your choice.

A fair example to cite are the HP inkjet cartridges and laser toner cartridges. There's no doubt about the quality of their cartridges, as Hewlett- Packard noted that their products are of good quality which prevents printout problems including page blot and blurry text/graphic output. HP isn't the only brand manufacturer that produces quality printer consumables, many among those major companies are capable of manufacturing high-quality toner and ink cartridges.

Aside from considering the quality, as a user you should also consider such factors which include operation, maintenance and user-friendly. The process and cost that a user must know with regards to printer maintenance. Operating cost as well shouldn't be taken for granted, and of course being a user-friendly product is one good factor for most consumers. If you want to have a decent performance with a considerably low cost, you can opt for alternative cartridges as a substitute, to cut down your printer expenses while still  having a guaranteed quality product.

Page-yield comes along when purchasing replacement cartridges for your printer. As there's always an initial set of cartridges, typically half-full of ink or toner, that is part of the printer package. Once it runs out of ink/toner, users will certainly need to purchase a new set of replacement. That is when the cartridge capacity pops in the situation, it depends on the level or amount of printouts you require which will determine whether you go for low-capacity or high-capacity cartridges. Although it is given that for offices and business, they should probably be opting for high-capacity printer consumables, while for a personal printer user, a low-capacity cartridge will do enough.

HP OfficeJet Pro X576dw MFP Printer X-Series

HP OfficeJet Pro X576dw MFP Printer X-Series
Hewlett-Packard has tried to find a way on developing a much better printing solution in terms of cost and ease of use, especially for most small-medium sized businesses that prefer color printers. Thus, HPQ came out with a key for the said issue, and that is by developing the X-series MFP (multifunction printer). A range of workhorse Officejet printers which include : Officejet Pro X576dw MFP, Officejet X476 MFP, Officejet Pro X451 and Pro X551 multifunction printers.

Larry Tracy, Product Manager of Hewlett-Packard said ;
This product is our first page-wide array product, so rather than have a head, this print head is a little over 8 1/2 inches wide and you can see the components (chicklets) stitched together. Each one has four rows of nozzles, 40,000 nozzles in this array. This is what we call a page-wide array. This print head is fixed and static in this device. What that allows us to do is move paper at a high amount of speed.”
Let's first have the OfficeJet Pro X576dw MFP printer, one of the cool model that comes from the X-series range. It's a desktop printer that features a roller system and duplex (double-sided) printing, both can be accessed from the back of the X576dw printer. With the printer's new built and design featuring a touchscreen LCD display console that prompts the user for an estimated ink level, and provides an easy to use printer interface. Plus for the printer's connectivity interface, it comes with a built-in Wi-Fi that allows printing from the cloud over a network.

When it comes to cost, the X576dw printer's improved ink head system prevents clotting which is really a troublesome to most printer users, wasting paper materials and inks. Also, its ink cartridges contain inks that can last longer even if the printer is not in use or some of your spare cartridges are just stock in storage room. The OfficeJet Pro X576dw MFP printer comes with four ink system, the typical colors CYMK, that features color matching once a single cartridge runs out of ink, instead of halting the printing process.

HP OfficeJet 150 AIO Portable Inkjet Printer

HP OfficeJet 150 AIO Portable Inkjet Printer
The Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ) was the first to released the world's actual portable All-In-One (AIO) printer based on inkjet technology in New Zealand. It was named as the HP OfficeJet 150 AIO Inkjet printer, features scanning and copying functionality that works when the printer is connected to a PC either through wired or wireless connectivity. 

Users can do scanning, copying and printing on virtually anywhere, even without getting the printer plugged from a power source. The OfficeJet 150 is very light and highly mobile, with a quite sturdy built that at first glance you'll probably mistaken it as a notebook computer. It is actually as long as a notebook computer, at 3.5 x 14 x 7 inches (HWD) and only weighs 6.8 pounds, it is considerably compact just like the latest laptops nowadays. 

Despite the printer's diminutive size, HP still managed to install a 2.4 inch color LCD touchscreen that serves as the digital control panel. Using the touchscreen allows a user to configure the printer, copy and print directly from storage devices such as : SD Cards, USB drives and PictBridge-enabled devices. The printer's memory card slot reader is located on the left side, while the USB port can be found just at the back. 

Flipping up the printer's lid will serve as a paper feeder, and also expose the touchscreen control panel. The OfficeJet 150 comes with a detachable battery that can be charge when connected to a power source. It requires HP inkjet cartridges 95 and 98 to let the printer create high-quality printouts. Though we can say that all printer consumables from Hewlett-Packard may it be laser toner cartridges or ink cartridges, both deliver superb quality printout. To scan or copy a file with the printer, you need to feed the document into a slot located on top of the printer.

The idea that the Office 150 AIO brings is, a mobile printer that you can use to print, copy and scan documents in one single compact device on which you can still use even without a support from an AC outlet, just with the power source that comes from its own battery. It is indeed one of the remarkable printing machine that comes out from the industry, and though nowadays we may have seen a lot of compact printer that leans toward mobility, it's still no doubt that this is the first portable AIO printer.

HP OfficeJet Pro X-Series: A New Range of Business Inkjet Printers

hp officejet pro x
Hewlett Packard Co. recently announced the released of their latest range of business inkjet printers. At the event held in Barcelona, entitled "HP Fall", four OfficeJet Pro X-series range of printers were introduced to the crowd. The new series includes two MFC-Multifunction Printer and two Single-Function Printer, which will be out in the market in Spring of 2013. 

These four new business inkjet printers, the X-series, is geared with the company's cutting-edge PageWide Technology. The science that gave birth to a single unit that contains more than 42,000 nozzles by combining 10 print heads as one. With this technology, billions of ink drops per second are fired by the printer onto the surface of the paper, shooting at an amazing print speed of 70ppm (pages per minute). Consistent performance and speed, whether you're printing a full text file or a coloured image, you'll still find it excellent, and did I mentioned that the ink from your printout will only take less than a second to dry. 

With HP's latest "General Office" mode, the noted 70ppm print speed is achieved for prints at 600dpi resolution setting. Whereas, switching to a higher resolution of 1,200dpi will put your print speed at the back of the line hitting 42ppm. The speed from a printing mechanism such similar to laser printers which are quite abstruse, will only be incomparable to the maximum print speed of HP's X-series range of printers.

A single factor is not enough for these X-series to surpass, it offers even more including a lower cost per page, absolutely less maintenance cost, and comes in a very reasonable price considering its speed. Talking about low cost, then you'll find it really efficient for featuring a lower power consumption and environmental footprint, plus a distinguishable noise reduction. 

Aside from the aforementioned capabilities and enterprise-focus features, as an addition, the X-series also offer full duplex printing, nozzles with self-healing ability, wide LCD touchscreen color display, and its printer cartridges are redesigned with inks reformulated as water-resistant pigments. Their redesigned ink cartridges can deliver a page yield of up to 3,000pages for monochrome and 2,500pages for colour. High capacity cartridges are also available at 9,300 and 6,600 page yields, that's almost near to HP's laser toner cartridges capacity. For connectivity, it has two USB ports with one capable for reading storage devices, and an  Ethernet port.

Fix That Clogged Ink Cartridges The Easy Way

clogged ink cartridges
Inkjet printers as we all know uses inkjet cartridges, and that's a fact that every printer user knows, but not everyone knows for a fact that the nozzle of every ink cartridges may clog. This problem normally arises on areas with low humidity, particularly on tropical and desert countries. If you live on one of these countries, it is not surprising that you often experience clogged nozzles with your printer's cartridges.

One way of combating this problem is by placing a humidifier into the room from where you keep your printer. By using a humidifier you'll keep the balance of moisture that will help prevent your printer's ink cartridges from clogging. But you should be careful of using a humidifier, as it may sometimes cause excessive moisture to the room which may lead to another printer problem which is paper jam, possibly because of using moist papers when printing. 

Aside from the reason of having low humidity, a printer that has been stocked or rather left unused for more than a month or two, can also be a possible caused of having clogged ink cartridges. Even HP printer users do experience this kind of problem with their HP inkjet cartridges. Good thing there are simple ways that you can try in order to get that clogged cartridge working as good as new. Be careful of doing this, as it can be really messy and somehow complicated if you don't focus your attention to what you're doing.

First, you need to take out the clogged cartridge inside your printer. Then prepare some paper towels or old newspapers to prevent ink spills from staining on the place you're working. Get some hot water and place it on a bin or tub (with a flat surface) just enough to sink about less than half of the cartridge. If you're ready, put the clogged cartridge on the hot water by facing down the part where ink comes out, then let it rest for several minutes. 

After a few minutes, or once you notice that ink comes out from the cartridge then it's a sign that the method is definitely working. It will take about 10-15minutes most probably before the ink moisten and comes out of the cartridge, otherwise you have to wait until the process takes effect.

You'll know when it's done if the clogged cartridge releases some ink. Now take it out of the tub then carefully dry it off, make sure you'll left no damp or moist part before you re-install it on your printer. Once the cartridge is totally dry and ready, turn your printer on and install the cartridge back to its slot then try printing a test page to see if it's now working.

HP Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-One Printer

hp photosmart 7520
The HP PhotoSmart 7520 e-AIO printer can be considered as the advance version of HP PhotoSmart 6520 e-AIO. Pack with more additional features, not to mention its similar features that can be found from the latter model. It comes with a larger screen display about 4.33'' intuitive touch screen control panel, and includes an automatic duplexing feature that lets you print on both sides of a page. Plus a 25-sheet automatic document feeder for scanning multi-page documents and legal size pages easily.

If you've been used to HP's Wireless Direct, then you'll be more interested into this printer once you've heard that it has the enhanced version of HP PhotoSmart Printer's Wi-Fi Direct. Providing all the ease for users to connect directly  using their laptop, tablet and smartphones to the printer. The 7520 e-AIO comes with a built-in ability to fax, both directly from the front panel and from a computer, including over a network.

Though we may find some quite similarities to HP's 6520 model, HP PhotoSmart 7520 can't just be considered as its second version. It has a different ink system that greatly improves both the printer printout quality and printing speed. Also, unlike the 6520 that uses the typical four cartridges, this one uses five HP ink cartridges, creating better images and prints with its additional photo black ink. 

In addition to its common features, 7520 e-AIO printer can also print and scan directly from or to memory cards and USB memory keys. Allowing you to preview photos and images on its 4.33'' screen display before you get them printed. It also works with HP Web Apps and HP's version of cloud printing as well as other mobile apps, including Apple AirPrint and the HP ePrint Home & Biz print app (for printing from both Android and iOS devices).

However, on the contrary of all its good features, HP PhotoSmart 7520 e-AIO deosn't offer an Ethernet connection for wired network, which means that a user needs to connect it via Wi-Fi connection to use ePrint, AirPrint, or HP's Web apps. If you're the type of user who avoids wireless network for your own security reasons, well you'll have a problem using its features. Good thing HP ePrint Home&Biz print application can work with an HP Wireless Direct connection to the printer, whether you have a Wi-Fi network or not.

When it comes to print speed, it's unbelievably comparable to the printing speed of a laserjet printer equipped with advanced laser toner cartridges.  Making it a better choice for business or even home printing needs. All in all, even if it lacks some certain features, HP PhotoSmart 7520 e-AIO printer is worth considering for home offices and businesses.
