Weekly Tip No 11 - How to get more out of your toner

When many toner cartridges start to skip, streak, miss, etc., they still have 10-15% of their toner left. This is more often the case with copiers and faxes when they show vertical streaks on the printed page. Remove the cartridge and gently shake, tip and rotate to redistribute the toner. Then just put it back in the machine and keep working. You will usually get 10-15% more out of your cartridge this way (you can do this two or three times to get most of it out).

Weekly TIp No 10 - Never Run Back-to-Back Cleaning Cycles

It just makes things worse! Give the cartridge a chance to let some ink flow in between cleaning cycles. After running a cleaning cycle, always print a "nozzle check" or "test print" between cleaning cycles. Then, wait a few minutes. Print two or three pages of a color pattern or a color-balanced image (this will purge air bubbles or foamy ink that a cleaning cycle may not get). If the printing is still not looking good, repeat the above.

Weekly Tip No 9 - Make your own printhead cleaning cartridge

When refilling the cartridge, add about 5% of cleaning solution together with the ink. And everytime you print with the cartridge, you will be cleaning the printhead at the same time.

Weekly Tip No 8 - Dye and pigment Ink

Pigment ink will last longer than dye based ink and is waterproof. But it comes at a higher price.

Weekly Tip No 7 - Recycling

When you thought you were paying for a brand new toner cartridge. Some of the parts and components inside are actually "Recycled Parts"!
Here's proof:http://www.planetark.org/campaignspage.cfm/newsid/42/newsDate/5/story.htm
...and the sad part is, original manufacturers still charge you that same "New Toner" price.
