Refilling ink cartridges
Some points to keep in
mind
6000 drops per second

Each of these nozzles is smaller than a human hair and each is
connected electronically to a heater (or resistor) that actually
heats and cools the ink inside the cartridge. When the ink is
heated, a bubble forms. When the heat source is removed, the
bubble bursts and sends dots of ink through the nozzles and
onto the paper in the printer. This heating and cooling process
happens at very high rates of speed, creating dots that form
print characters on the page at rates of up to 6,000 drops per
second.
Why we practice reuse
 It
was previously believed that the heaters in ink jet
cartridges would only last for one use. Now
manufacturers realize that the heaters continue to do
their work and the nozzles continue to fire beyond
one use on most inkjet cartridges. In fact, the heaters
on most cartridges will continue to fire until they burn
out completely or weaken significantly. On the
average, that happens somewhere between the third
and fifth time the cartridge is used.
Consumer benefits
 For
consumers, this information is useful in three
ways. One, remanufacturing services can extend the
life of a cartridge without fear that the inkjet printer
itself will be ruined. If the “workhorse” of the printer is
the print head and circuitry contained on the printer
cartridge itself, then the most a consumer would risk
is the minimal fee involved in remanufacturing the
cartridge.
Consumer benefits (con’t)
 Secondly,
purchasing a compatible inkjet cartridge
instead of a brand name cartridge cannot ruin a
printer that does not contain a print head. The print
head and circuitry is on the cartridge, not in the
printer. Therefore, the consumer would again be
risking only the amount one paid for a generic inkjet
cartridge – not the cost of replacing an inkjet printer.
And since Cartridge World guarantees its cartridges
100% it eliminates that risk.
Maintaining the standards

And lastly, it emphasizes the importance of purchasing
compatibles from a manufacturer that produces inkjet cartridges
to the same specs (ISO standards) as brand name
manufacturers, and backs that up with a strong guarantee.

Cartridge World follows the ISO standards in ink manufacturing
and cartridge refilling. We guarantee our cartridges for the life of
the cartridge.
End of the road
 Eventually,
all inkjet cartridges will wear out. If you
start seeing horizontal bands, white streaks, or
incomplete areas with no ink – that could be a sign
that your inkjet cartridge is nearing the end.
 Although
ink jet cartridges won’t last forever,
purchasing economical compatibles and using
remanufacturing services will extend the life of most
inkjet cartridges without harming the inkjet printer
itself.
