It can be pretty hard to understand how much inkjet cartridge ink will be used by your inkjet printer over the lifetime of use. To be frank, the majority of home users will tend to buy relatively cheap printers compared to 10 years ago. Under £100 is pretty common. The costs of inkjet cartridges can appear very high in comparison to the purchase cost.

There are some great offers in the market and it can be possible to get a free cartridge especially as a new customer.

We do recommend consumers consider the ongoing running costs, though we recognise it can be hard to fully understand this. In the USA, the American Consumer Insitute is leading the charge and have created an online calculator that will allow the consumer to compare the performance in terms of resource usage across many inkjet printers.

They standardise the comparison by using a test lab run by Quality Logic, and independent lab. The results give a sense of overall cost over time, taking into consideration several factors: the number of black-and-white pages you print a week, the number of color pages and the number of 4-by-6-inch photos

Currently the model is limited to 17 printers - but it is a good start.

It is very unlikely that your home canon pixma printer will be used to mark up a piece of wood. Most likely you will use your printer to produce letters, drawings and photographs. However, http://www.atduk.com/ are using inkjet technology to write on the ends of wood to determine their specification.

They provide the ATD IP9000 ink-jet printers and these allow inkjet markings to go on the end of the wood to provide detailed labelling. This saves a lot of money.

Another very interesting use of inkjet technology and something that would not have been considered as part of regular office supply usage.

An American Zoo in Cleveland Ohio, has an extensive recycling program that includes inkjet cartridges. They are committed to environmental programs and in 2008 the zoo began to use a solar-powered golf cart to carry materials and they implemented a policy to greatly reduce Zoo-vehicle traffic inside the Zoo.

The Zoo also encourages members of the public to recycle select materials of their own at the Zoo, including paper, canon inkjet cartridges and all inkjet cartridges , cell phones and the small, screw-in compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) that can be used to replace traditional incandescent bulbs.

They are also looking to create compost from poo! That sounds like fun.

In 2008 the Zoos' recyclding programme included recycling 803 inkjet cartridge and toner cartridges, many of which were dropped off by the public. We want to know if any of those Canon inkjet cartridges that were recycled were used by pandas. Maybe the Pandas print letters to send to their friends.

If you have heard of a great inkjet recycling programme - please let us know.

Not everthing is doom and gloom.. We read this article about Hewlett Packard Co (NYSE: HPQ), Lexmark International Inc (NYSE: LXK) who are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. A new assessment released in early Feb 2009 and published by trading markets show their rating raised to a '5' rating based upon the assessment criteria by (http://www.valuengine.com) .

Tradingmarkets report that this assessment is "The ValuEngine Rating is an overall assessment of a stock's attractiveness. It combines the following five factors: ValuEngine's proprietary valuation, risk-return tradeoff, momentum, market capitalization and ValuEngine's proprietary forecasted one-month return. ". From a consumer point of view we hope that this upgrade to a '5' rating will be translated to even better offers for the UK consumer market.

How do you explain how an inkjet printer works to a young child. Having spent hours producing their homework on the computer and then asking for a printed copy to stick into their homework book.

Their eyes wide with excitement as their masterpiece emerges from the inkjet printer.

Do not rush inkjet printer, take your time with my homework! How does this work they ask.


Mmmhh well that is a tricky question. Perhaps for a small child the easiest analogy is to imagine that there is a device inside with many small felt tips pens and they use the ink to copy the work you made on the computer.

Of course this is not actually how an inkjet printer works - the clue is in the "jet". However, we do not want all our young children throughing paint around at sheets of paper in order to pretend to be inkjet printers. We certainly do not want human inkjet printers! that would be crazy.


If you want to avoid creating human inkjet printers be sure to never run out of inkjet cartridges - to find the best offers on www.cheapinkjetsolutions.co.uk - select the brand and then the model. The results are ordered by price - with the cheapest at the top. Some of the advertisiers will even provide a free inkjet cartridge for some models - this is worth looking out for. All you will have to pay for these offers is the postage and packing for your inkjet cartridge. Good luck in hunting for bargains.

It would seem an odd combination, but yes it is true, the inkjet cartridge printer is the perfect vehicle to drafting and finalising your sonet to your loved one for Valentines Day this year.

1. Start with a blank sheet and list out all the things you love about your partner.

2. Choose 3 items from the list that make you laugh, they are sure to make your Valentine laugh too

3. Search in clip art or similar to find some feature images that bring out the funny side of your relationship. Maybe some interesting cookery photos, or gardening mishaps!

4. Place your images in a software programme - a typical wordprocessor will work just fine.

5. Compose on the second page a beautiful message for your loved one, or if they have a great sense of humour an incredibly funny one. If you find it hard to come up with someting yourself, get inspiration from an old card or have a peek in the shops!

6. Set your inkjet printer to "draft" mode - this will save your inkjet cartridge ink until you are happy with your printed design. Print out a draft. It may not be as you would like yet - but you can edit it.

7. Make changes to your design and keep printing in draft mode to conserve your inkjet cartidge ink until you are happy

8. If you can, choose some nice coloured paper to make your final version, perhaps light pink for a girl and white for a man. Be careful that the printing will still come out nice and readable on the coloured paper. This will depend on the colours of the text and images

9. Envelopes - the finshing touches. Most inkjet cartridge printers will have an envelope setting. This is a great way to address your envelope and ensure your loved one cannot guess that it came from you. It is a bit crazy I know as 9 times out of 10 they are gonna know anyway. Still for fun it is great to try. Same idea use the draft mode on your printer to conserve your inkjet cartridge ink until you are happy, then press the print button.

10. Fold the card nicely, stick a few kisses in and hide until the big day. You can feel good that you have made a really personal Valentines card with almost not cost. Your partner is sure to love it as you made it yourself.
