subject: 6 Things To Know Before Buying Philips Cartridges [print this page] 1. Heres an inescapable fact about printers and toners: at some point, you will use up all the ink in your starter toner also known as the toner that came with your brand new printer and you will have to buy a new toner or ink cartridge. If you are using a Philips printer, youre first consideration would naturally be brand name Philips cartridges. But before you head out to the store or check the Internet for online vendors, you must determine exactly what kind of toner or cartridge is suitable for your printer. Get the starter toner, which should have an indication of its particular model or number. If you dont have the starter toner, check the printer manual. If you cant find the manual, check out the printer box.
2. Check if you might need to replace all of the toners. Some printers only offer multi-colour options and this means that you will have to buy a complete set. But if your printer has toner colour toner cartridges that come separately, you only need to replace the ink that has run out.
3. Philips cartridges and printers are from Philips, a company that was founded in the late 1800s. By the 1920s and 30s, Philips, which began as a manufacturer of light bulbs, was already a leading manufacturer of radio and other electronic appliances. Now, Philips has a wide range of products from razors to flat screens to high tech digital print systems. Popular Philips printers and fax machines include FaxJet, LaserFax, Magic line and the Crystal series. The brand is known for reliable, high-quality printers and fax machines that are designed to produce high quality prints.
4. Buying genuine Philips cartridges means you are getting an assurance of quality from the brands name and its proprietary technology. Genuine also known as brand name cartridges or OEM (original equipment manufacturer) cartridges are sure to last long and produce high-quality prints. They also have lower failure rates. If you have decided on buying the brand name cartridge, you should make sure that you are getting the real deal. Labels of the cartridges should not have anything that says compatible and remanufactured. Compatible ink cartridges, even if they say Philips on the box, are not OEM cartridges. They are brand new cartridges made by third party manufacturers. What that label means is that the cartridge is compatible with or will work with specific types of Philips printers. Remanufactured ink cartridges, on the other hand, are recycled cartridges. These are cartridges that have been refilled with ink. Remanufactured cartridges are less expensive than compatible cartridges; compatible cartridges are less expensive than OEM cartridges. You should know exactly what kind of ink cartridge you are paying for.
5. OEM Philips cartridges should produce reliable, quality prints that have vivid colors that dont fade easily, tight edges and bold, dark blacks. Some of the new printer models have printing resolution and copy resolution of 600 x 600 dpi and models like the Laser MFD 6170dw have what Philips calls Crystal copy technology which helps improve the quality of the copies.
6. Some Philips printer models also have a toner save mode which add life to your Philips cartridges.
