Cheap Brother Compatible Ink Cartridges - Hardware Printers

Although inkjet printers only appeared on the consumer market in the late 1980s

, they had been under development for more than twenty years by that time. In the mid 70's, printer companies realized the potential of the technology that would make dot matrix printers obsolete. The challenge, however, was to come up with a way to create an affordable inkjet printer that would create high-quality printouts.

Technical challenges

The quality of the printed page depends largely on the relationship between the ink, the print head, and the paper. Researchers had a quite a difficult time creating a controlled flow of ink from the print head onto the page, and preventing the print head from becoming clogged with dried ink. Once these challenges were met by Canon and Hewlett Packard in the late 1980s, liquid inkjet printers began to appear on the market.

Different styles

Continuous inkjet printers were developed by IBM, and use electrically-charged droplets to coat the page with ink very quickly but they tended to waste a lot of ink. This technology never caught on with consumers, but is used today in industrial settings, for labeling cartons and addressing direct mail. The more popular design among consumers is the drop-on-demand inkjet printer, invented by Siemens in 1977. These printers, which spray ink only where needed, are slower than continuous inkjet printers but less expensive. Most drop-on-demand printers, including those made by HP, Canon, and Lexmark, use thermal technology to push the drops of ink out of the print head; Epson uses its own technology, called piezo-electric, to achieve the same effect. The inkjet printer has come a long way since it became available almost twenty years ago: Hewlett Packard's DeskJet printer, which was amongst the first available to the general public, was priced at $1,000 (approximately 750) in 1988!

Luckily for all of us, the price has substantially reduced in recent years and you can now buy many printers for less than 100. By comparison, printer ink cartridge prices, if purchased from the main printer manufacturers are still quite expensive which is why a lot of 'compatible' ink is now so widely available.

We pride ourselves on the great quality of our ink which is why we have a 'no quibble' money back guarantee should you run in to problems that can't be resolved. We also provide an email support service - just in case you need help or advice.
