Here's a Little Poinsettia Trivia to Celebrate Poinsettia Day

2011-12-12T11:35:00.000-08:00

When the winter holidays roll around, there’s no flower more ubiquitous than the poinsettia. But the plant, known for its bright red bracts, hasn’t always been so closely associated with the Christmas season in the United States. Curious? Read on for more.

• The Flowers de Noche Buena (Flowers of the Holy Night) wasn’t introduced to the United States until 1825, when Joel Roberts Poinsett, a botanist, physician, and first United States diplomat to Mexico, sent samples back to the United States after a visit to Taxco del Alarcon in Southern Mexico. It has since been known in the United States as the “poinsettia.”

• Prior to its popularity during the Christmas season in the United States, the plant’s association with Christmas originated from 17th century Mexico, when Franciscan priests incorporated the plant into their nativity procession after observing it bloom in the Christmas season.

• Poinsettias were brought to cultural prominence in the United States by Albert Ecke, a German immigrant who left his vegetarian health spa business and settled near Los Angeles in Eagle Rock, CA, where he and his family started an orchard and dairy. He chose to market the poinsettia to large growers as an “off-season cash cow” and called it “The Christmas Flower.” His son, Paul Ecke Jr. took the marketing one step further, by convincing television shows and magazines to prominently display the flower during their Christmas editions.

• The bright red bracts of the plant are often mistaken for flowers, but are actually specialized leaves that serve to attract pollinators. The flowers are actually in the yellow structures at the center of a leaf bunch.

Now that you’re a poinsettia expert, this Poinsettia Day, take advantage of our Poinsettia Week sale, where you can take 10% off all orders $100 or more. Just use coupon code POINSETTIA at checkout and enjoy the savings.

TonerGreen Goes Pink!

2011-10-11T10:45:00.000-07:00

As the fall season rolls in, so does the start of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This annual October tradition started in 1985 to help promote mammography as the most effective weapon in the fight against breast cancer. But it wasn’t until 1991, through the Susan G. Komen Foundation, that the pink ribbon was used to promote the fight. Since then, the pink ribbon has been used all around the world to inform men and women alike about the on-going battle.

Here at Toner Green, we also want to do our part in supporting the fight by donating 5% of every sale to breast cancer research. Every sale will help fund program services, research, public health education, treatment, screening and other services that will help to prevent and to find a cure for breast cancer. On top of the 5% donation, we would also like to show our appreciation for helping us support the cause by giving our valued customers a 5% discount on every item. Go pink with TonerGreen, and let's all do our part in helping put an end to breast cancer!

Importance of Blogging to E-Commerce

2011-07-08T20:39:00.000-07:00

Since the introduction of blogging in the internet world, many companies began incorporating blogs to their official sites or online stores. These companies realized the importance of blogging to customer engagement, brand awareness, and overall marketing strategy. E-commerce or online stores are the first to join the bandwagon for blogging. They admit that their sites showcasing their products or services tend to be boring. Visitors can only see product pictures, features, prices, availability, etc. They rarely see tips and tutorials on how to use the products and maximize their full value. In order to educate their consumers, online stores like TonerGreen started a blog that provides informative posts, tips, and tutorials.

Besides educating consumers about the company products, there are other valuable uses of blogs. In terms of search engine optimization, search engines tend to love crawling blogs that are updated regularly. With new fresh content posted regularly, blogs are indexed faster. There are times that a blog post rank higher than the online store for a particular keyword. This happens because blog posts are rich in keywords and information compared to the main e-commerce store. Think about the sale that can be produced if a high ranking blog post promotes a particular product of yours. If you link your main site or specific product of your store in your posts, overall traffic can grow over time. Even if the visitor does not buy at first visit to the store, there is a big chance that he will come back to buy and learn more about your products and offerings. In this case, your blog served as a lead generator.

If you have seasonal promotions, your official blog can be one of the best channels to announce them besides the traditional email marketing or paid advertising. If you're blog has a huge following or subscribers, there is no reason why you shouldn't blog about your latest promotions. When announcing the promo to your Facebook, Twitter, or Digg followers, it is a good practice to drive them first in your blog post about the promo. The blog serves as a pre-sell to the products you promote. Most online marketers claim that pre-selling can increase conversion.

With the tips and tutorials that your blog provide, more and more online users and potential customers will find you. For example, an impressive and useful blog post about installing Brother DR350 drum or refilling an HP CE278a toner cartridge can make a visitor to learn more about your company and your services or products. This visitor may turn into a loyal customer of you for many years to come so long that you provide high quality products and excellent customer service to him.

A blog can also be an excellent channel for your customers to communicate with you. Blogs give visitors the capability to post comments and questions. Some customers are more comfortable posting blog comments than sending emails and calling customer service. Don't neglect these types of customers; who knows, they might be your loyal customers or buyers. When your customers post feedback on your blog, use them to improve your products or service.

If your company or online store has no blog yet, it's about time to make one. A blog that is updated regularly will open a lot of doors for new customers, sales, and other online opportunities to grow your business.

India Hosts 39th Annual World Environment Day

2011-06-06T12:14:00.000-07:00

While Earth Day isn’t the only time to take a closer look at our habits and make small changes to benefit the environment, there are other events to remind us of our responsibility to our planet. Since 1972 the United Nations, through the United Nations Environment Programme, has made an effort to raise environmental awareness through their annual World Environment Day, which takes place every June 5.

How Did You Celebrate World Environment Day?

This year’s host country was India, which hosted WED for the first time in the event’s 39 year history. The theme of this year’s event was “Forests: Nature at Your Service,” which focused on the adverse effects of forest degradation and deforestation. India was chosen, partially because of two rare species that reside in the forests within its borders: the Golden Langur Monkey, which has declined in population by 30% in the last 30 years, and the Royal Bengal Tiger, which has decreased in population an astounding 60% in just the last decade.

So, what can we do to help minimize deforestation in countries like India, and in other countries across the globe? If you want to do it through a WED event, you’ll have to put it off for another year, but why wait? If you’re already recycling paper and purchasing paper made of recycled content, you’re already off to a good start.

At TonerGreen, not only do we recycle paper in our offices, we also try our best to do our part in helping to save the environment through our partnerships and our toner cartridge recycling program, which helps to minimize the amount of plastic and other non-degradable materials from making their way into landfills. Did you know that 1% of every order also goes towards environmental causes?

If you stop by TonerGreen.com now, you can also take advantage of our Post-Memorial Day Sale. Take 15% off remanufactured ink cartridges and 10% off remanufactured toner cartridges, but you’ll have to hurry. The sale ends today, so stock up on your printer supplies now!

TonerGreen Celebrates Memorial Day

2011-05-31T09:00:00.000-07:00

We pride ourselves in providing affordable and eco-friendly printing solutions through our remanufactured toner cartridges and ink cartridges that are made right here in the United States. To celebrate the troops that have fought for our country, we're devoting this blog entry to a bit of trivia that might come in handy if you ever find yourself answering Memorial Day questions on a quiz show. Did you know that Memorial Day went by a different name when it was first observed? Is your interest piqued?

Take up to 15% Your Next Order at TonerGreen

Since Memorial Day also serves as the unofficial start of Summer, we're also having a Post-Memorial Day sale to help you stock up for the warmest season of the year. From May 31 - June 6, save up to 15% on your next TonerGreen Order. You can find the coupon codes on the image to the right and the answer to our first trivia question after the break.

-On May 5, 1868, three years after the Civil war ended, Maj. Gen. John A. Logan, the head of an organization of Union Veterans called the Grand Army of the Republic, was the first to declare May 30 as a day to decorate the graves of war veterans. The day was called Decoration Day.

-While the birthplace of the Memorial Day celebration continues to be disputed by a number of cities where most of those who died in the war were buried, the only official declaration took place in 1966, when the United States Congress and President Lyndon Johnson declared Waterloo, N.Y. the holiday's birthplace. The declaration took place almost 100 years after Gen. Logan's "unofficial" declaration.

-Memorial Day was declared an official national holiday in 1971 by the United States Congress. It was set to be celebrated on the last Monday of May.

-On Memorial Day, the American flag is flown at half-mast from sunrise until noon. To honor the nation's troops, the flag is then raised "briskly" to the top of the flag pole until sunset.

-The use of the poppy to serve as a tribute to those who have died for the nation's freedom, especially during Memorial Day and Veterans Day, originated from a poem titled The Flower of Remembrance by World War I Colonel John McCrae, who was a surgeon with the Canadian First Brigade Artillery.

-The image of poppies at Flanders fields described in the poem inspired Anne E. Guerin of France who first sold poppies in the U.S. in 1920 with the help of the American Legion. She enlisted Georgia native Moina Michael in 1922 to aid in the nationwide distribution of the poppies in the U.S. Later that year, the Veterans of Foreign Wars adopted the poppy as its official memorial flower.

Still haven't gotten enough Memorial Day trivia? You can find more facts on this national holiday at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs homepage.

Liberia Utilizes Recent Innovations to Cut Down on Illegal Logging

2011-05-25T10:17:00.000-07:00

Last month we covered the importance of recycling paper and why we should continue to do so. The bottom line is that like the Environmental Defense Fund states on their site, recycling paper "saves forests," and now, there's at least one more measure being used to prevent worldwide deforestation: bar codes.

Screenshot Taken from Helveta LTD Promotional Video

While the technology from British company Helveta has been put into use as a way to minimize illegal logging since 2009, the West African country of Liberia has recently signed a deal with the European Union to regulate the country's logging industry, which the country relies on heavily to support its economy. The system will include tagging each legally harvestable tree and each log from these trees with a barcode. The bar codes can then be used to track a tree through every stage of processing, from the time it's cut to the time it arrives at the factory.

Although only time will tell whether or not the system will prove to be effective in minimizing illegal logging and reviving Liberia's economy, what we can do now to minimize the environmental effects of paper production is simply to recycle. On top of that, be sure to use TonerGreen's remanufactured toner cartridges and remanufactured ink cartridges for all of your printing needs. Don't forget that not only will you help divert waste from landfills by buying our recycled cartridges, you'll also be helping environmental causes through our partnership with EarthShare.

Human Motion Lights Up Subways

2011-05-16T20:06:00.000-07:00

Potential energy sources are indeed just "under our noses". Kinetic energy, the energy stored in moving bodies or objects, is one perfect example. In fact, some of forms of renewable energy actually use kinetic energy to harness energy from other source. For example, wind turbines make use of kinetic energy to produce energy from the wind. It passes on the kinetic energy from the wind to the turbines to generate power. Some of the tidal and wave energy devices also utilize the kinetic energy of moving water to produce power.

But the mere mention of "kinetic energy" calls to mind human motion.

Yes, human motion can generate electricity. But the development for technologies that can harness electricity from human kinetics are still in the early stages of development. One of the earliest efforts on this is at the Tokyo Station which is one of the busiest train stops in the world. The station has installed Hatsudenyuka tiles. Hatsudenyuka tiles are piezoelectric so these can convert applied strain to electricity. As of now, only trials are underway with the tiles converting the pressure and vibration of human footsteps to electricity that can power the station’s lighting system.

Engineers from the University of Leeds in England are also conducting their own similar experiment but instead of a subway, they utilized the motion of marching soldiers. The English had thought of using marching soldiers to eliminate the errors brought about by variation in people’s walking patterns. With marching soldiers, it is assured that the pressure and vibration are uniform.

The devices used in Leeds are different from those used in Japan as these contain ceramics and crystals. Although they are currently used on roads and pavements, engineers are hoping that these piezoelectric materials will soon be installed in other places like on soldiers’ backpacks or around the knee to keep the weight of the soldiers’ backpacks down since they no longer have to carry extra batteries for their devices.

So far, these piezoelectric technologies are still in their trial stages. There are other technological innovations in the market that can utilize human kinetic power to generate electricity. One good example is Orange, a mobile phone company. It has been testing human kinetic motion charging devices for their phones. The company has recently unveiled their new product: a 180-gram charger which is about the size of a pack of cards. This device is strapped to the biceps of the user so that when the user moves his arms, the action can create electric currents.

By far, the only downside of devices harnessing energy from human kinetics is that the source of kinetic energy is not entirely reliable. Humans have the tendency to get tired and to slow down so this may cause certain variations in the energy supply.

Google Goes Green

2011-05-13T16:10:00.000-07:00

Google, the renowned search engine, joins the Go Green bandwagon. Google Inc. contributed to green energy through the development of a new type of mirror technology that can help reduce the cost of building solar thermal plants by as much as 50%.

Image Reproduced from GreenDiary.com

Bill Weihl, Google's Green Energy Officer, has told Reuters about this latest development. If the pilot testing for the new solar energy mirror goes well, Google will proceed with its rollout in about one to three years. The company is currently coordinating with the developers of solar energy mirror in exploring materials that can be used as reflective surface and as substrate on which the mirror will be mounted. As of now, the developers were able to create an internal prototype.

The solar energy mirror will be used to improve the solar energy capacity of solar panels. It will focus the sun's rays on a heated substance that will, in turn, produce steam. The steam will be used to power facilities and equipment like turbines to generate electricity.

Google has long been investing in studies that can produce more affordable innovations for green energy. For the solar energy mirror project, America's top search engine aims to deviate from the costs of producing heliostats, a field of mirrors used to track and capture the sun's rays.

Indeed, more and more companies are now going green amidst issues on global warming and climate change. TonerGreen, for one, aims to provide individuals and companies with environmentally-responsible recycling solutions. For every purchase of remanufactured ink and toner cartridge, TonerGreen provides customers not only with cost reduction opportunities but also waste elimination opportunities.

When it Comes to Conserving Resources, Every Little Bit Counts

2011-05-10T16:01:00.000-07:00

Did you know that it takes approximately three-and-a-half quarts to produce the plastic for a brand new OEM or compatible toner cartridge? According to StopWaste.org, a toner cartridge can be remanufactured up to four times, which means up to 14 quarts of oil can be saved by toner cartridge recycling and buying remanufactured toner cartridges.

Image Reproduced from Guardian.co.uk

If you’re serious about going green with your printing, consider the prediction of HSBC Senior Global Economist Karen Ward, who said in a recent CNBC article that even without increasing demand, we could have “as little as 49 years of oil left.”

Scary right? Think of how much less oil we might have if it weren’t for the advent of hybrid vehicles and other innovations designed to reduce our reliance on oil and other non-sustainable resources.

Want to pitch in and do your part to help save the environment? Start small by doing things like monitoring your energy usage at home and in the office. Have a short commute to work? Consider riding a bike to and from your office. Not only will it help lower your carbon footprint, biking at least half-an-hour a day will also lower your cholesterol levels and boost your metabolism. When it comes to printing, consider using purchasing your remanufactured toner cartridges and remanufactured ink cartridges from TonerGreen for your documents and photos. Don’t forget that we also recycle used toner cartridges as part of our recycling program, and give store credit for virgin OEM toner cartridges to help you save on your next purchase.

While each action individually won’t make too much of a dent in helping to conserve our current oil supply, the potential to preserve our resources increases exponentially when done in tandem and by a large group of people. The most important thing is taking that first step and committing to it. Get a few friends to join in, and the rest will take care of itself.

Common Misconceptions About Remanufactured Toner Cartridges

2011-05-06T17:58:00.000-07:00

Since the introduction of remanufactured toner cartridges and compatible toner cartridges, competition became more stiff in the toner cartridge market. To save their business from declining sales, manufacturers of OEM cartridges allegedly started campaigns that destroyed the reputation of remanufactured and compatible toner cartridges in terms of providing high quality printouts. This is aggravated by the introduction of third party manufacturers that prioritize lower price instead of product quality. Then out of nowhere, misconceptions about remanufactured toner cartridges began plaguing the market. These wrong notions have negative impact on remanufactured toner cartridge sales and public patronage. Below are the common misconceptions about remanufactured toner cartridges that you should be aware of:

Use of Remanufactured Cartridge will void your Printer Warranty

It is against American and European trade laws for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM's) to void your printer warranty if you use remanufactured toner cartridges.

Remanufactured Toner Cartridges are Inferior to OEM Cartridges

There is no significant difference in the quality of printed output between remanufactured cartridge and OEM cartridge. When you use remanufactured toner cartridge, you get the same quality but half the price of OEM.

Defective Toner Cartridges Damage Printers

Take note that toner cartridge is self contained and make limited contact with the rest of the printer. This will ensure that if the toner cartridge goes wrong, it will not affect the whole printer. All cartridges, OEM or remanufactured, deposit some toner inside the printer, and many of the new printers have a waste toner box to collect this.

Remanufacturers Reuse Toner Cartridges

This is not totally true because if they do, the toner cartridges will not work Toners cannot be reused because they were contaminated with dust and electrical charges during the printing process.

Third Party Toner is Inferior to OEM toner

OEMs and third party manufacturers are now using the same technology in making toners. Thus, the quality of both color and greyscale achieved by remanufacturers is similar to the quality that the OEMs achieved.

Remanufacturers just Replace the Toner in the Cartridges

Remanufacturers just don't replace the toners, they also replace worn or damaged components in the cartridges. Changing damaged parts is critical for the quality performance of cartridges that is why remanufacturers always check all parts of the cartridges if they are in good working condition.

Finally, Something Good Out of Noise

2011-05-05T17:23:00.000-07:00

Don’t you feel irritated whenever you go to any place that is very noisy? Well, you need not feel so irritated anymore because noisy places do have their use: as an alternative source of electricity.


Green Noise Device (Photo Reproduced from Infoniac.com)

Designer Hung-Uei Jou has decided to make something good out of noise. He created a device aptly called Green Noise. Green Noise is able to capture, identify and convert sound energy to electricity which can be used to power lights and other relatively small or low-wattage facilities. It is shaped like a conical speaker to allow the device to catch sound waves more easily. Green Noise stands on a tripod base and can work under any weather conditions.

As mentioned, Green Noise is only capable of powering low-wattage appliances and equipment as of now but I'm pretty sure further developments will allow it to power bigger and "heavier" electronic appliances like your printer. Imagine the huge contribution you can make to the environment and the great savings you can get if you use Green Noise with remanufactured inks and toners. Now, that's a great deal...

A Sweet Approach to Making an LED Light

2011-05-04T08:00:00.000-07:00

While the use of LED lights as indoor lighting fixtures isn’t as widespread as it might be in the near future, innovations in design and function are still moving full speed ahead. School of Art Institute Chicago student Won Joon Lee took an unconventional approach in the materials used to create his LED lamp, and it’s pretty sweet…literally.

Lee’s creation, the Stardust lamp, which integrates crystallized sugar into its design, made its debut at the 50th annual Milan Furniture Fair this past April. The lamp was the culmination of a two-semester project where the South Korean born Lee explored the potential uses of sugar in everyday design.

As part of the manufacturing process, Lee submerged LEDs into a concentrated sugar solution for 10 days, causing sugar to solidify around the diodes. The sugar encased diodes were then mounted onto an iron frame inspired resembling a sugar molecule.
Lee said the Stardust lamp is still in its developmental stages, so it might be a while before you can get your hands on one to replace your living room lighting fixture. But if you’re a business owner or someone who just likes to collect illuminated signs, LED technology is already available to you at the click of a mouse.

TonerGreen.com has a selection of LED fixtures that range from programmable business hour LED signs that you can display at your shop window, to a burrito LED sign that you can hang above your fridge. The possibilities are endless. We now also offer free shipping on all of our signs, which all come with a 1-year no-hassle warranty, so if you’re looking for a more energy efficient way to tell potential customers that your store’s open, make TonerGreen your first stop online and get a sweet deal on a brand new LED sign.

Will Your Ink Cartridge Evaporate When Unused?

2011-04-29T16:29:00.000-07:00

Sometimes, people wonder if ink cartridges can evaporate when unused. Although there are instances when you may have noticed how your printer ink seems to deplete after sometime, is it really possible for those inks to just dry up?

Image Reproduced from Cartridged.Com

Well, here is some useful information that might answer this interesting question.

First of all, printer ink is made with technology that allows it to dry up quickly so that the printing would be at its best. A solvent is added to it which does evaporate.

When you refill your ink cartridges, you normally create a hole for the syringe that you will use. However, if you frequently do this, there is a greater chance for air to enter your cartridge which could make the ink evaporate. To avoid this, just go for remanufactured cartridges that are affordable as refill kits, but more convenient and with greater printing quality.

How To Spend Less While Having Great Prints

2011-04-28T19:14:00.000-07:00

It is not unusual that printing costs have become an issue for many especially when you do a lot of printing. This is why there are others who choose to send their files through email or even just write down the important parts.

Well, there are actually ways for you to spend less while still having great prints. These are really helpful and can cut your printer expenses by up to 70%. So for you to experience the best of both worlds in printing, here are some tips that you could try.

First of all, if you do print a lot, you should consider buying your laser toner cartridges and ink cartridges in bulk. Printer supplies that are sold in sets are usually cheaper than buying them individually. There are even stores that offer free shipping so you can really save a lot on this option.

Avoid having your prints done for you by printing stores when you already have your own printer. Use it since it can help save you money. Using your own printer also helps keep the performance of your printing machine.

When printing text files, try using the “Draft” mode since this printer setting was made to save laser toners or printer inks. The printing quality may not look its best, but it should be good enough for a draft.

Is A Laser Toner Cartridge Harmful Or Not?

2011-04-25T21:50:00.000-07:00

There are times when you might be thinking about whether or not your laser printer and its laser toner cartridges are harmful to you, especially if you refill your printer supplies more often than usual.

Although there haven't been facts to prove that a laser toner can be a risk to your health, it would still be best for you to know some of the information about how it can cause you trouble with your printing and savings too.

Like any other machine or appliance in your home, your printer and its supplies also need maintenance and care. If you do not properly clean them, you might run into problems with your printer and toners.

Just consider this, the laser drum cartridge can actually give out gaseous waste, toner, and dust when it reaches a critical temperature. Also, when you do not properly clean this part, it could create faulty electric problems in your printer.

As for the laser toner cartridge, there could be a harmful substance in it if you do not go for a trusted printer supply store. It is actually called “carbon black,” which is normally used for monochrome laser printers. This contains iron oxide and carbon which can be hazardous to your health if precautionary measures are not taken.

When it comes to third party supplies like remanufactured toners, there are still great ones like TonerGreen that can provide high quality printing, huge savings, and eco-friendly living.

Get to Know the Types of Toner Cartridges

2011-04-21T17:31:00.000-07:00

Printers are offered in different models like the monochrome, multifunction and photo printing machines, which is why you should not be that surprised to find out that there are also various types of toner cartridges.

Before actually talking about the kinds of laser toners, you must know first that a laser toner cartridge is the printer supply used for laser printers. It is filled with toner powder that is transferred on the paper through the drum cartridge to create your prints. This printer supply has different colors like black, cyan, magenta, and yellow which combine to create other tones for printing.

Now, there are three types of laser toner cartridges. These are the OEMs, compatible, and remanufactured. For you to really understand these printer supplies and what would suit your needs, let's discuss each type.

OEM is actually short for “original equipment manufacturer,” which has the brand name of its maker. Basically, this type of cartridge is made by the printer companies like HP, Epson, Canon, and Lexmark. An OEM can be more expensive than the other types since its manufacturers want to maintain the high quality printing that they have always offered.

The compatible laser toner cartridge is a generic type made by a third party printer supply store that wishes to offer affordable printing. This can be considered a brand new toner cartridge at a cheaper price. It can either meet or exceed the printing quality of an OEM depending on how its manufacturer produced it.

For the budget savers and printer users who want to help nature as well, the remanufactured toner cartridge could be the best choice. These are made from recycled cartridges that have been inspected, cleaned, refilled, and tested to maintain high quality printing. Among the three types, this is the most affordable since the manufacturing process is simple and eco-friendly as well. The savings can range from 50-70%, depending on the store of course.

Check on your printing needs to determine which toner cartridge will really suit you, and also think about how much you’ll save if you go for a printer cartridge that can offer both affordability and high quality printing.

How to Recycle Your Drum Cartridge

2011-04-20T16:49:00.001-07:00

A drum cartridge is basically the partner of laser toner cartridges since it's the printer part that's responsible for transferring the toner to the paper when printing. Like any other printer supply that has been fully consumed or used, you may just realize that it's time for you to throw away your laser drum cartridge. But how about recycling it instead of dumping it in the trash?

First, check on your printer supply store if they allow donations of laser toner cartridges and drum units. There are some who accept cartridges, and use them to produce remanufactured toner cartridges, which is also another way you can put your old drum unit to good use.

Using remanufactured toners is actually a form of recycling your toner or drum unit since these printer supplies are already using recycled parts. Not only that, you get to have the same high quality printing that OEMs or original equipment manufacturer cartridges are offering since third party supplies are inspected, cleaned, refilled, and tested to ensure its performance. You get more savings, great prints, and save nature all at the same time.

Doing at least one of the suggested tips above can put your old drum units to greater use. Still, if you go for remanufactured printer supplies, you are cutting your printing costs by up to 70% while still maintaining your printing needs. So go ahead and save on your printer cartridges since you are not just doing this for your printing but for the environment as well.

Using the Right Printer Paper for More Savings

2011-04-19T17:25:00.000-07:00

A typical printer can actually print on most printing materials including specialty papers, shirts, and labels. Whatever you want to have, you can actually do it with the right materials of course. So how do you choose the right printer paper for your work? Here are a few things you should think of to improve your printer’s performance with your ink cartridge or laser toner cartridge.

Specific Printer Paper:
There are various papers sold in the market for your working needs, and you should assess the purpose of a specific printer paper to avoid bad printouts. The two important factors for deciding on the right material are absorption and brightness.

Absorption:
Keep in mind that less absorption of ink means better printouts. Inks scatter on paper so when it absorbs too much of the ink, it may look soggy or messy. There are papers that are covered with wax or coating that prevents too much ink absorption. So, higher resolution files are be needed to create a good printout from coated papers.

Brightness:
When a paper seems brighter and smoother, your images printed on it will also be clearer and the colors will look better. Use those that offer bright printouts for your pictures and special printouts.

For even better prints, use trusted remanufactured toner cartridges or ink cartridges that would match your printer’s performance. These printer supplies will surely cut your printing costs by up to 70% which is really great for budget savers.

How a Remanufactured Toner's Page Yield Is Calculated

2011-04-18T23:10:00.000-07:00

Most ink and toner cartridge stores include the print yield page of a cartridge on its container for the customers’ reference. Some are able to say that their product can make up to 4,000 pages while others remain on an estimate of 2,000 sheets. However remanufactured toner cartridges can offer more prints than others. How is that possible and how is the page yield calculated?

1. Standard Test Document

When a printing test is performed, the standard size of a document is used to maintain consistency in the testing while also keeping the default settings of a printer. The common sizes for this test are letter size or A4 size.

2. Number of Tested Cartridges

To make sure that the counting of yielded page does not vary, a manufacturer applies nine cartridges on the testing stage. Some may even apply more than that number, nevertheless, the level of statistical confidence will usually be at the average of 95%.

3. The Life of a Cartridge

The life span of a printer cartridge is a very useful factor in knowing the number of pages that it can produce. It is advisable to always follow the instructions in using a cartridge to keep its life period as said by the manufacturer.

The testing of the cartridges is also done on different types of printer to maintain the compatibility of a printer and a cartridge. These are the processes done by makers of printer cartridges to measure the estimated print yield page, although in some instances, other processes are also done for validation.

Getting the Right Ink Cartridge

2011-04-15T18:07:00.001-07:00

Ink cartridges can be considered as printer supplies that could offer the best text files or even sharp and crisp images. However, you might actually notice that ink cartridges come in different types, textures, and printing styles. So how would you know that you are going for the right one?

When it comes to the types of ink cartridges, you will always find those OEMs or original equipment manufacturer cartridges, the compatible inks, and the remanufactured cartridges. The OEMs are the ones made by the printer manufacturers themselves. These are somehow costly since its makers would want to maintain the high quality printing. However, this printing quality can also be provided by the compatible and remanufactured cartridge only at a much affordable price. Still, the difference between a compatible and a remanufactured is that the second one uses recycled cartridges making it green printer supplies.

The texture of an ink cartridge would depend on its manufacturing process. Still, the best ink cartridge should have that perfect smoothness and fine texture.

On the printing styles, ink cartridges could either use the thermal technique or the piezoelectric. The thermal printing process involves heated ink bubbles that are used to push out the ink and create the prints. The piezoelectric method uses a crystal that moves periodically to excrete the ink. The printing method would usually vary depending on your cartridge brand.

Getting the right ink cartridge will still depend on you, but be sure to always check on the printer supply store first before purchasing your inks to avoid getting low quality prints and wasting your budget for your printing costs.

Myths about Remanufactured Laser Toner Cartridges

2011-02-01T17:04:00.000-08:00

There are a lot of misconceptions about remanufactured laser toner cartridges which gives doubt to those who want to try these types of inks and toners. Here are some myths that we'd like to address in today's entry:

1. Remanufactured toners just refill the cartridges.
This is not true especially with professional and trusted companies that provide remanufactured cartridges. When a recycled container is received by the skilled technicians, it undergoes an extensive inspection to determine the defective parts. If there is a broken piece, this is replaced with a brand new one to maintain the quality of the cartridge.

2. Remanufactured toners cannot match the quality of OEMs.
OEMs or original equipment manufactured inks or toners are those made by the printer companies. Some say that remanufactured cartridges cannot produce the quality made by OEMs. With the advance in technology, third party products like remanufactured cartridges meet or exceed the performance of the original models. So, you still get the same quality at a lower price.

3. Inks in remanufactured cartridges are recycled ones.
This is not possible because recycling the ink or toner will cause problems with the cartridge and printer as well. Inks and toners are not recyclable unlike the containers so it is guaranteed that using these cartridges won’t damage your printer.

4. Remanufactured toners and inks can void your printer’s warranty.
This is also impossible because a cartridge is solely separate from the printer and the warranty of a device does not cover the ink or toner installed in it. You don’t have to worry about losing this benefit at all.

The truth is that remanufactured inks and laser toners actually conserve the resources and energy used by original ones, so not only do you get to help save nature, you’ll also save on your printer supplies.

Comparing the 3 Printer Terms: Ink Cartridge, Print head, and Toner Cartridge

2011-01-28T17:38:00.000-08:00

When you have a printer, you may have already encountered the terms ink cartridge, print head, and toner cartridge. However, there are still those who feel confused whenever they encounter these words in situations like purchasing a remanufactured printer cartridge or troubleshooting a printer error.

So if you are one of those printer users that has been caught up with this confusion, then here are the answers to your puzzling questions. A comparison among the three printer terms can also help you out.

First of all, a print head and a printer cartridge are not the same thing and do not have any similarity at all since the print head is a part of the printer that holds on the nozzle. The nozzle is the tool that allows the ink or toner from your cartridge to flow down and reach the paper.

The difference between an ink cartridge and a laser toner cartridge is that the other one contains ink while the second type has toner. Of course, the ink is in liquid form while the toner is a powder-like substance. Both need to pass through the print head to do the printing process and to be placed on your material.

When it comes to the price of the printer supplies, printer inks are considered to be cheaper than laser toners. However, laser toner cartridges can create more documents and images. Also. Laser toner cartridges can perform faster than ink types which makes laser printers the top choice for business needs.

Lastly, both printer cartridges differ in printing quality. Laser toners are perfect for text printing while ink cartridges work well with images. It still depends on your preference so know what you will print, then you can decide on what printer and cartridge type you should get.

Now that you already understand these words used for printers, you can define each and avoid the confusion next time you decide to get printer supplies.

It utilizes a specialized ink that can be erased by UV irradiation, allowing anyone to print a new set of information over that same sheet of paper. We normally relate reprints with having to redo the printing because of some error. In the case of the Eco Printer, a reprint could mean an entirely new printed document!

Isn't that awesome?! It is common knowledge that paper is recyclable; the Eco Printer takes the lifespan of a sheet of paper so much further.

Now, this printer is highly suitable for recurring office documents. Right now, I can only think of office announcements pasted on our bulletin board for let say upcoming company events, non-sensitive memos, etc. Imagine if these papers posted can be reprinted with new and updated information?!

The concept of the Eco Printer truly is an eco-friendly innovation to paper printing and very much fitting for its red dot concept design award.

The red dot design award is a large and renowned design competition in the world divided into 3 categories. This innovative printer was chosen under the red dot award: design concept 2010 for workplace.

< Here are the other winners of the competition. >

We should all look forward when LiteOn mass-produces and offer this printer to the public. For the meantime, we should all work to achieve a more environment-conscious printing by choosing energy-saving printers and using eco-friendly remanufactured toners & inks as its consumable.

2011-01-04T16:23:00.000-08:00

Since the Holiday Season is over and all those pictures have already been printed, it might be time to do some proper maintenance on your printer so that it still works well with your laser toner cartridges or ink cartridges. But what kind of fixing should you do on your printer?

First of all, you have to make sure that the print heads are all aligned. When you start to get prints with with lines or some breaks, then the nozzles are not aligned properly. You can check on your printer's manual on how to fix this problem.

Always clean your ink nozzle. When your ink cartridge or even your laser toner cartridge starts printing files that do not appear to be similar with your file, then there might be something that is blocking the ink or the toner. You can check on the “Clean Print Cartridges” option on your printer tools to troubleshoot this.

Always update your printer's driver to be sure that your printer will work smoothly. You can also get all the newest printer features which can help you with your different printing needs. Just visit your printer's website to find out if there is an update available for you.

Now, when you have done these tips, you won't have to worry about that next heavy printing occasion since your printer can handle that work. Just be sure to fill it with the right printer supplies and also double check your file before producing it to avoid wasting your money and your consumables.

Getting the Best Deals on Black Friday

2010-11-24T16:12:00.001-08:00

Black Friday has always been considered to be one of the biggest and busiest shopping days in the United States, which also sets the beginning of Christmas shopping season. Many shoppers are really excited about this day since many of the popular stores open as early as midnight then offer huge discounts on their usually expensive items.

However, if you are not that kind of person who wants to wait forever for the opening of your favorite store and get trampled on by other shoppers, you might just feel that Black Friday is not that exciting after all. But, why not think again when you can actually get the best deals on this special day even when you are just at home? How? Try these great tips to fully enjoy this annual occasion.

1.While most of the time, the big and famous stores are the ones filled with shoppers on this day, you may want to try the smaller shops since you can still get more savings after all. You can also feel a little bit more comfortable shopping at those not-so-popular stores since the others will really go crazy lining up at the huge retail branches. Be sure to also plan ahead so you know where you should go first. However, if you really want to go for those branded names, then get up early in the morning or make sure you are in line as soon as the doors have opened for the shoppers.

2. Ask yourself if it’s really going to be worth it to stand there for almost a day, with the chance that then when you enter the store, all the things you wanted to buy are gone? Might not be so good right? You may want to try shopping online instead since normally, Cyber Monday, which is the busiest day for online stores, will also happen soon. For example, if you are an avid printer user and you feel that you cannot get all the laser toner cartridges or printer inks that you will need on Black Friday, then wait for TonerGreen.com's Cyber Monday deals. You wouldn't have to leave home at all plus you'll get more than what you and your printer could ask for. Convenient, right?

Being a wise shopper requires more than just patience and we all know that. So, if you just want to enjoy that Black Friday and get all the perfect deals for yourself and your pocket too, be prepared and think twice if you think it's worth it, or if there’s a better choice for you.

What is a Remanufactured MICR Toner Cartridge?

2010-11-10T16:51:00.000-08:00

A printer user may have already heard and learned about the common types of printer cartridges - the ink cartridge and laser toner cartridge. However, not everyone knows about the MICR toner cartridge. So, let’s go over what this toner does and why a remanufactured MICR toner cartridge is always be a good choice for printing special documents.

MICR is an acronym that is short for Magnetic Ink Character Recognition and is commonly used by banks for security purposes on its checks. An MICR toner cartridge has magnetic charges which are used on the serial numbers and letters of check. When the check scanner detects these charges, the authenticity of the check is provided thus giving better security for the bank’s account.

You cannot use an MICR toner on a regular printer since this is only designed to work with a specific MICR printer. Since it is not the usual type of toner, this cartridge cannot be normally seen in all printer supplies stores.

However, since there are companies who want to provide high quality printing of security codes on checks while still giving low priced items, third party manufacturers came up with the remanufactured MICR toner cartridge.

A remanufactured MICR toner works just like the original toners although you can instantly see the difference on the price. A third party MICR toner cartridge can give you more than fifty percent savings compared to an original, with the same printing capability since third party cartridges are designed to meet the high security purposes of MICRs.

Although you may not really need an MICR toner and printer for your personal use, you may still want to consider a remanufactured cartridge for your printer if there is one available since saving on your printing expenses is always helpful.

More Tips on How to Create Eco-Friendly Halloween Masks

2010-10-25T19:47:00.000-07:00

Now that you’ve taken the first step to having a greener Halloween by printing your Halloween party invitations with a remanufactured toner cartridge from TonerGreen, why not take it one step further and make some more environmentally friendly Halloween masks?

If you’re rushing to pick up a mask at the last minute, chances are you probably won’t find something you like. Imagine the horror of rushing to your nearest costume store to find a cool mask for the Halloween party at your office or at a friend’s house, only to find that the only thing left on the shelves are Pee-Wee Herman and Richard Nixon masks. We’ll admit that while some people might think these masks would be cool, we’re pretty sure that there are more than a few that don’t. If you’d rather not spend upwards of $30 for a mask you don’t want, here are five reasons why you might want to consider printing out a mask using a TonerGreen remanufactured toner cartridge on recycled paper.

1. It’s Inexpensive: You already have these supplies lying around at home or the office. It takes less than five minutes to find a decent sized image of the character you want to masquerade around as this Halloween, print it out using a remanufactured toner cartridge from TonerGreen, cut holes for the eyes, nose (and possibly the mouth), use a string or twine to tie it around your head, and voila! You have yourself a custom Halloween mask and all it cost you was five minutes of your time, which saves you…

2. …A Trip to the Store: No waiting in lines, no driving around to different stores only to come away disappointed at the lack of selection, no wondering about why the mask you just tried on smells like the month old casserole in you fridge that you keep forgetting to throw away. It’s a brand spankin’ new mask and you can be…

3. …As Creative As You Want: Ever wanted to look like the half-octopus, half-zebra best friend you had when you were five, but nobody believed was real? Well, now you can. But if we can sway you from that “fantastic” idea, may we suggest the Incredible Hulk because he’s big and GREEN…or maybe you can conjure your inner eco-friendly hero and make a Captain Planet mask. At any rate, it may take you a little bit more than five minutes to sketch this one out or mock one up on your computer before printing it out using one of our remanufactured toner cartridges, but it’s better than using face paint to exercise your creativity, because if you print this bad boy out and it turns out to be a flop at the party, at least you won’t have to worry about…

4. ...Washing That Paint off Your Face: You know how stubborn that Halloween face paint is, and if you really did paint a detailed half-octopus, half-zebra head on your face, it’s going to take a little bit of work to wash off those tendrils and stripes without looking like you failed to adequately get rid of the stuff your friends or co-workers drew on your face because you fell asleep by having too much fun at the party. Save yourself the trouble by printing out a mask using a remanufactured toner cartridge from TonerGreen. Even if it turns out to be a hit at the party, chances are you won’t want to wear it again next year anyway, so instead of throwing away a latex mask or have it take up storage space, you can just…

5. …Toss It in The Recycling Bin: If you took our advice and used a TonerGreen remanufactured toner cartridges to print the mask out on recycled paper, pat yourself on the back for being an eco-friendly hero, no matter who you printed out for a mask this Halloween.

So it’s that simple. For the rest of October, we’re also giving away $10 Target and Wal-Mart gift cards for orders of $75 or more and $15 Target and Wal-Mart gift cards for orders over $100.

Toners, Toner Cartridges & Their Environmental Impact

Yes it does! We should know about toners, toner cartridges and their impact on our environment. It is in knowing these seeming trivial but equally important things that can help us understand how printing affects our environment, the planet Earth and ultimately, us.

Laser printers use toners much like ink in inkjet printers. Toners are powder-made mixture of chemicals and are encased in plastic containers called toner cartridges. When there is no more toner, we wont be able to print and the empty toner cartridges are discarded. When they are discarded improperly and irresponsibly they can be harmful to the environment.

The chemicals on toner left-overs or spillage isn't good on our waterways. While the plastic cartridge takes a long long time to decompose. When they are thrown right away, it will end up on our landfills. Imagine the thousand of laser printers being used now by businesses, organizations, schools and even homes. Thousand of empty toner cartridges can really hasten the filling up of our landfills.

The good thing about toner cartridges is that they are recyclable and reusable. Depending on its state after being used up, it can be remanufactured and be reused multiple times. The best way to discard our empty toner cartridges is take it to buy-back programs or give it to fund-raising recycle programs. Doing so, help us prolong the use of each toner cartridge, preventing it from being thrown right away and conserve raw materials.

This is where remanufacturing toner cartridges comes in. It's a business that gains profit precisely on lessening the negative impact of toner cartridges to the environment. Remanufacturers and resellers alike make money when printer users buy remanufactured toner cartridges. This not only saves them money on printing consumable cost but also contributes in making our environment more safe.

Remanufactured toner cartridges brings less harm to the environment. Those who use them supports the drive to make our planet a better place to live in not only now but for generations to come.
