We all know that printer ink is primarily used for documents and photos. But what about the rest of the ink? It’s interesting to note that not every drop gets dumped on the paper.
1. Ink Used for Maintenance, Not Printing. A good part is used in the well-being of the printer. Startup and cleaning — Each time you turn the printer on or after it has been idle, it undergoes a brief cleaning process to prevent the print heads from becoming clogged. This uses ink, but it is essential for even quality printing. The factor of the print head — The ink in HP printers, in many cases, is used for calibration. Whether there is a print head in the machine or in the cartridge, the job of routine maintenance is a regular part of the operation.
2. Color Ink in Black and White Printing? The printer even makes use of a very slight amount of color ink when a black and white document is printed. This is to assist in improving the quality and durability of the black text on the regular paper.
3. Why the Page Count Varies When The Page Count Is Given As For Instance: 2000 Pages. The page yield placed on the box is predicated upon standard laboratory tests of printing the same few pages continuously. Your actual use is by no means the same.
What Printing You Do: Photos or graphics use much more ink than plain text.How Often You Print: Printers not used so often use more ink for cleaning purposes, so this reduces your total page count.
Ink Left In Cartridges: A small amount of ink is always retained in an “empty” cartridge or can vaporize but not be objected to follow up on. Printer ink, in other words, is used for far more purposes than its printing use.
It is also the vital fluid that keeps your printer healthy and your quality high.
