This Thursday (2nd March) is World Book Day!

What is World Book Day and When Is It Celebrated?

World Book Day is a charity event held every year in the UK and Ireland on the first Thursday in March. Every single full-time student is gifted a voucher to spend on books. The first celebrations of World Book Day were held in 1998.

The UK World Book Day has actually been changed to the first Thursday in March to celebrate it before the Easter Holidays and to avoid problems with St. George’s Day Celebrations. World Book Day is also celebrated on 23rd April (in India).

World Book Day Aims

The Day aims to encourage and increase the number of young people reading. A decreasing number of people are reading books, especially with the expansion and development of modern technology, social media and less time spent reading, thinking and concentrating on literature, and more time focusing on digital content. Reading has however switched to things like audiobooks and digital copies of books, which also has its positives. For example, digital copies of different texts are more environmentally friendly.

World Book Day and reading in general is very important in the development of the mind, imagination and knowledge. Lessons can be learned from different books. Literature has also influenced many people and inventions. In today’s world we underestimate reading and its importance.

Epson’s Environmental Awareness and Eco-Printing!

Featured

Posted on by

As many people may know, printing has historically not been the friendliest to Earth’s environment. However, in recent years, the attention given to our planet’s environment has largely increased like never before and affected the printing industry, as well as other industries. More and more companies and businesses are changing into sustainable, eco-friendly firms. New tactics and ways are being used all the time to make even a small difference and reverse the effects climate change has on our environment, as well as obeying new laws and regulations introduced to help the climate (such as Environmental Laws in the EU).

Pollution

These changes made by companies are not for nothing. Not only does it save the environment, but can also save quite a bit of money. One huge printing company which brings attention to the environmental issues and is forming into a sustainable and Carbon Neutral business is Epson. The Japanese company is in the lead when it comes to its eco-transformation. Epson aims to be carbon negative and “underground resource-free” by 2050, which means that resources harmful to the environment will not be used in manufacturing processes. Epson also has other initiatives to support the environment. The Company is extremely committed to its environmental goals. They manage to find new ways to form their company to suit the environment while keeping prices affordable and users happy!

Environmentally Friendly Eco-Products

Epson’s 2050 milestone is a huge contribution towards the environment. There is another step they want to take before that, though. By 2030 Epson aims to invest around £600 million into changes in the company to aid the environment.

Konica Minolta celebrates its 150th anniversary this year, with hopes to soar as a growth company again.

The Japanese Company’s roots go back to the year 1873 when 25-year-old Rokusaburo Sugiura started selling photography materials after having his photo taken.

Konica Minolta Camera - 150th Anniversary of the Company!

Konica Minolta’s New CEO Toshimitsu Taiko announced that the company’s 150th anniversary is a new start and opportunity to reinforce the company and strengthen it back up after the many challenges it experienced last year due to supply chain issues with lockdown in China and the impact the war in Ukraine continues to have on resources and energy prices.

Graph Chart Growth

Taiko’s mission is to accelerate Konica Minolta forward and restore the confidence of its employees as well as restoring trust of stakeholders, shareholders, investors and customers. The CEO’s tactic to achieve these goals is by addressing every single problem with honesty and sincerity.

Mr Taiko also expressed his heartfelt appreciation to everyone who supports Konica Minolta around the world. It’s been made clear that the company positions the huge milestone as a chance for further growth of people and society.

Konica Minolta’s mission to help the Homeless

Konica Minolta has also worked with charities to combat homelessness and help those in need. For example, for the second consecutive year, Konica Minolta works with Crisis at Christmas to help homeless. They also collaborated with the Aimar Foundation. They have managed to install print management software and printing devices at hotels and day centre sites across London. This helped provide access to vital information and documentation, to help them take the first step out of homelessness.

We fully support Konica Minolta’s actions to help decrease the homeless population. We also encourage our customers to buy Konica Minolta products and help support their cause. Buying our compatible products not only helps the struggling homeless, but also contributes to helping save our wonderful environment!

ETIRA Reaching 1 Million Environment-focused Labels

Featured

Posted on by

The European Toner and Inkjet Remanufacturers Association (ETIRA) has introduced its own product certification label last year and now approaches the milestone of 1,000,000 certification mark labels in circulation. These differentiated labels help customers identify more environmentally friendly printing cartridges.

80-90% of Trashed Printing Products could be used again more than once. ETIRA aims to Remanufacture as much as possible.

ETIRA aims to promote the reuse of printing products and raise the profiles of ETIRA-member remanufacturer products. ETIRA labels will provide a better understanding to customers about which products offer the best environmental performance, which will allow people to recognise and differentiate them from other cartridges that have a larger carbon footprint.

According to research conducted by ETIRA, up to 70% in Europe of empty toner and inkjet cartridges are incinerated or dumped in landfills every year. 80-90% of these trashed products could have been used again more than once. More than 500 million plastic printer cartridges end up thrown away in landfills around the world. Remanufacturing these cartridges can decrease their carbon footprint by 45-60%. Remanufactured cartridges are also cheaper by 30% than OEM Products, making it both cost-effective and environmentally friendly to reuse cartridges.

ETIRA Benefits

The ETIRA label brings many benefits to their members. ETIRA members make their mark on the circular economy with industry leaders around Europe. The label also assures that cartridges went through the remanufacturing process at a high standard and eventually back on the market.

Currently, the ETIRA label is only available to members through a qualification process and license agreement. This means that the remanufacturer will be able to add the certification mark to any brand cartridge they’ve produced for a third party (if the remanufactured product meet the license requirements).

Issues in Printers – Solved!

Featured

Posted on by

Tackle your printer if it does not recognise your Compatible Cartridges

We get many questions regarding whether or not our Compatible Cartridges are going to work in your printers. The correct answer is, yes. However, just like everything else, you could stumble on a faulty cartridge or your printer not recognising the cartridge. In Today’s Blog Post, we’ll answer how to solve issues with cartridges or printers.

What is a Compatible Cartridge or a Non-Oem?

A compatible cartridge is a cartridge that is not produced by the original manufacturer. The functionalities however are almost identical.

HP Printer

Some issues you may have with your printer

Sometimes you will find that your printer will state that the printer cartridge is not detected. Reason being that there may be these issues;

  • The protective strips on your cartridges are still on and need to remove. If this happens, than your printer will register the new cartridge and this will cause further issues. To prevent this from happening take the cartridge out of your printer and double check to see if there are any plastic covers, strips or tabs on your cartridge.
  • You need an Internal memory reset. Your printer should automatically register your new cartridge when you install it. This allows your printer to automatically reset its internal memory. What will usually happen afterwards is your printers’ full ink and toner levels will display. It will react as if your old cartridge is inside. To fix this, remove your new cartridge and replace it with your old cartridges then wait for 10/15 minutes. Then add your new cartridge back into the printer. Usually this will resolve the issue, if not then make sure to check the surface you are inserting the cartridge in and check to see if there are any damages to your printer. If that does not work than try and turn your printer off using the power button or unplug your printer and plug it back into the wall then insert your cartridge and then turn on your printer.
  • The cartridge needs to be correctly inserted into the slot correctly. The best way to know that you insert the cartridge correctly is by listening to the click it makes when you put the cartridge into its slot. For Toner Cartridges there may be parts that can cause the toner not to sit correctly into your printer because of damage. If this happens than make sure to replace your toner as this is the only way to fix the problem.

Didn’t Solve Issues with Your Printer?

If you are having any issues with your compatible cartridges and these solutions have not yet worked, you can email us or call us and we are more than happy to help you solve these issues.

Why Cartridges are so expensive?

-and why you should opt for compatibles.

Many printers are sold at a loss. Manufacturers tend to make their money based off supplies NOT off Inkjet printers. Cartridges are popular for being expensive; actually, Cartridges are more expensive than gold and Russian caviar! This has to do with the extensive research and development involved in creating them. A group of engineers and chemists that are experts in this field are the ones to plan and create products that consumers are in demand for. The idea for experts is to create good quality ink or/and toners for images to be true to life as possible.

Big brands such as Canon, Epson or HP tend to focus a lot of their time in creating the best blend for their Inks, so that they are the best quality. This majority of their Inks are just a mixture of food dye and water. However, the consistency of their Inks are the most important part, as well as making the Inks water resistant, fast drying and smudge proof.

HP spend a lot of their time and money ($1 Billion a year) – Yes. You read that correctly. On research and development so that they can come out with a single or multiple products depending on their budget. Nonetheless, there are always better-valued versions of almost anything in every industry. Fortunately in this industry, we offer what we call ‘Compatible and/or remanufactured cartridges’. Compatible and remanufactured Inks are supposedly the same quality as OEM’s (Originals) and they are affordable. Compatibles offer the same amount of pages and print quality as branded products in this industry.
