Facts About Inkjet Cartridges

Once upon a time computer users used dot matrix printers. The quality of the print was was pretty poor and sometimes difficult to read, but we all thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. These printers cost a small fortune but allowed us to abandon the clunky old typewriter. The results were not brilliant but typing suddenly was easier and faster. We could even create pictures and graphics and printed them with the dot matrix. We didn't worry too much if the drawing looked like a five year old drew it, we were so thrilled to have any printout at all. Printer companies knew we wanted something better and finally, they invented the ink jet printer. Suddenly we discovered that the printed word could look superb, and pictures actually looked real and vibrant. Once the colour inkjet printer arrived, the computer revolution had finally come of age.

Inkjet printers use cartridges which contain the ink used in the printer. Though they were introduced in the eighties, inkjet printers still work by spraying microscopic dots of ink onto the paper. These dots are very precisely positioned and can be either black or colour This type of printer is one of the most popular types of printer because it produces great results at an affordable price. The inkjet printers available are usually manufactured by leading names in the industry such as Epson, Hewlett Packard, Canon, Brother, Lexmark and a few others.

A more recent innovation that many manufacturers are turning to is the use of the all-in-one printer.
