Delights of Sitting Made Better with Chairs

Sitting on a comfortable chair is one of the most effective and common methods of relaxing. While a lot would say that lying down on a soft bed is more relaxing, what lying down cannot give you is the opportunity to become more productive. In fact, you'll probably fall asleep in five minutes if you just lied down. One of the best things about sitting down is that you can keep on working without having to strain yourself too much. The only thing about sitting that could be a bother is feeling a bit of discomfort in your bottom. Hence, to help keep people comfortable as they work, what many chair manufacturers do is put foam, gel, or any kind of padding to make the seat soft. This way, you can last longer while working without having to stand up too much. Another thing that a lot of...

Inkjet: Nozzles Spraying Microscopic Dots of Ink

Since their invention in the 80's, inkjet printers remain as one of the most popular kinds of printers available to consumers. This is due to the fact that these printers and their ink are relatively inexpensive and their printed outputs can range from decent quality to high resolution. As the name suggests, inkjet printers use nozzles to spray jets of (or rather dots) of ink onto paper. The ink is heated up and creates a thermal bubble. This bubble is able to push more ink out of a nozzle onto the paper. Moreover, when the bubble “pops”, a vacuum is created, thereby pulling more ink to the print head from the cartridge. Inkjet printers are a type of non-impact printers, which means that the print head inside doesn't directly touch the paper and instead sprays the ink bit by bit as...

How to Set Up Your Printer Cables

This task may seem daunting if you often see wires endlessly snaking around, but setting up printer cables is actually a cinch if you do it right the first time. However, if you don't pay attention to the connector type you need and fail to measure the cable run before you set up your printer, you might just be in for a little headache. Determine the type of cables you need Some printers come solely with a power cable and not with the cables needed to connect them to a computer, so you'll need to purchase the right type of cable. Some printers are designed to connect directly to a computer's USB port, while others are built to connect to a network via an Ethernet cable. In short, confirm the type of cable you need before purchasing it. Determine the length of the cable The cable...

Remanufactured Cartridges—The Better Alternative

An inkjet printer can guzzle a full ink cartridge down in what would seem like a single sip. Coupled with the fact that ink cartridges are so darn expensive, you have two good reasons that would make the average person want to forgo printing altogether. Fortunately, there is a solution. Remanufactured cartridges, which cost significantly less than those sold by original equipment manufacturers (OEM), offer consumers a better deal. These cartridges come cheap, so they prevent printer makers from monopolizing the ink market. Such products are also beneficial to the environment. Since depleted cartridges are reused, thousands of tons of industrial-grade metals and plastics are prevented from ending up in landfills each year. As you might expect, printer makers don't want any competition,...

Guide to Troubleshooting the Xerox Phaser 8560

Every printer needs to be cleaned and maintained every so often (especially after a hectic print day) so that it can keep functioning efficiently and last a long time. The trusty Xerox Phaser 8560 printer is no exception to this rule. Here are some tips on troubleshooting this model for maximum efficiency and print success. You will need to print out a configuration report from the printer itself; using the control panel, search for the “Information” section in the display screen. Press OK, go to “Information Pages”, select “Configuration Page”, then confirm to print. This will identify and isolate any problem with your printer; if the issue isn't displayed on the page, the problem might be related to the computer, not the printer's hardware. Pull the handle of the first multipurpose...

Top Toner Cartridge Problems to Avoid

The toner that you use for your laser printer needs much more care and attention than the kind used in typical inkjet printers. For one, laser printer toners come in powder form, and fuse with the paper with the use of heat, electrical charges, and pressure. This difference means that laser printer  cartridges can suffer from unique problems. Whenever a new cartridge is installed, you might notice that the print quality seems rather light in color, or worse, the whole thing just stops working. When this happens, pull out your toner cartridge and look at it closely, as this might be the root of the problem. The cartridge should come with at least one protective strip to keep from spilling over while in transport, so be sure to remove all these strips prior to installation. Do you see...

Tips to Save on School Supplies

Parents spend a considerable amount of money on notebooks, pens, paper, and other school supplies. While these are obviously essential items, there are ways to cut costs and still get high quality school supplies. For instance, consider buying items in bulk so you'll have a ready supply every school year and you'll even save a considerable amount of money. Another way for you to enjoy savings is to reuse certain items. Maybe that notebook is slightly used from last year so it's still good for writing and taking down notes, or maybe you still have several pens that weren't even used. If you have older children you can also hand down their school supplies that are still in relatively good condition to their younger siblings. Some parents may also be surprised about the savings that they...

Facts You Should Know About Printer Toners

Printer toners are special kinds of ink used for laser printers and copying machines. While the print industry relied on simple carbon powder in the past, modern technology has allowed for many polymers to be integrated in the mix, thus significantly improving print quality. Printer toners these days are fed to the appropriate printer or copying machine via a special cartridge. The toner ink essentially gets an electrical charge, which allows it adhere to the type of paper with the opposite charge. The cartridge has a mechanism that serves as the medium for forcing the toner onto the paper according to the desired image or text. At this stage, the toner melts into the paper. Most toners consist of a polyester resin or a polymer made of styrene acrylate copolymer. The concentration of...
