How to find out if your phone is bluetooth compatible?

There are actually very few phones which don’t have Bluetooth. It was a very long time ago when this technology made its way into the pockets of mobile phone users. Even though it was mainly used for data transfer, it now plays an important role in the life of many people who conduct their business via phone.

It should be easy to connect the two. Push the ON button on your Bluetooth headset and then turn the Bluetooth on your phone. It should be able to detect any device within a certain range.

The printer is made with the signature colors of Dell, grey and white. If the machine’s weight is important to you, be aware that it weighs about twelve pounds (this is typical of most printers). The only feature that users may find unsatisfactory may be the permanent open tray. The tray may build up dust. Therefore, you may need to clean it often.

This printer provides customers with user friendly LED screens and buttons. If there is a problem such as a paper jam or the ink running low, you will be notified via LED screen. To remove a paper jam, simply remove the toner cartridge that is behind the main door and the problem is solved easily.

Since none of us likes to struggle with technology, Dell has made it easy to replace ink cartridges.

Using the correct HP printer paper for your project allows increases, the quality of printed materials and reduces the cost of printing documents. Selecting paper that matches your printer type is one of the most important choices you make.

Ink jet printers spray ink onto the page, which requires a paper that absorbs the ink properly. Too little absorption can cause the ink to dry too slowly and result in smears. Too much absorption can cause the ink to take on a fuzzy look.

Laser printers use heat to set the toner on the paper and the paper you use must be able to withstand the process if you want high quality printing.

Inkjet Printers and Your Wallet

February 18, 2019February 18, 2019James13Leave a comment

How much should you pay for an inkjet printer? What inkjet printer is the best? There are no easy answers to these questions. Much will depend on what brand you buy, what you intend to print and even where you buy it.

Four major companies supplies the majority of inkjet printers on the store shelves today. Canon, Lexmark, Epson and HP (Hewlett-Packard) have perfected the art of inkjet printing. They all have low end models priced from $50 to $149, middle of the pack models priced from $150 to $349 and highend models that can range from $350 and up. Some are stand alone (printers only) and some are multifunction – often referred to as all-in-one (typically space saving with a printer, fax machine and copier combined into one unit).

HP inkjet printers are typically rated to be a good all around choice. Text printing as well as photo printing is considered good and the cost of operation is acceptable.

Personally I like my stand alone HP inkjet printers (I have purchased several Deskjet models) with the bottom paper tray. Envelopes and labels are easy to align and the paper does not curl if not used quickly. I can fit it into a smaller space. My refill inkjet cartridges cost on average $25 for black and $40 for color and for around $60 I can buy a combo pack.

A lesson learned that saves money on replacement ink cartridges is to ignore the ink level indicator as it shows the ink levels getting very low. Many pages of black text can be printed without any degrigation even after the indicator shows empty and after the “low” ink warning pop up on the monitor. Have a new cartridge on hand however, because the ink will eventually run out and it will always happen suddenly. The same goes for the color cartridges except they tend to start changing the colors in the photo before they just give out completely. I have tried to refill cartridges myself – also to save money – but I prefer to just buy them pre-filled.

Epson printers are considered to be good quality photo printers. Epson typically uses the “fixed-head” technology which simply means that the print head is not part of the ink cartridge. It allows for higher quality printing and accurate ink placement on the paper. The upside of this design is lower cost ink cartridges and the downside is that if the print head is damaged it will cost more to replace it. Some Epson inks are rated to last for 100 years or longer and some Epson printers can print a photo as large as 13″ x 19″ compared to most inkjet printers that can only print as large as a standard or legal size sheet of paper.

Low cost printers are synonymous with low quality printing results. Canon’s entry-level inkjet printers can withstand some scrutiny due to their text printing. Canon is also a good choice for small compact and somewhat portable models. My experience with such a printer was good. The expensive part was the ink cartridges. Since I did not use the printer for everyday printing the ink tended to dry out even when I removed the opened cartridge and stored it in the container meant for such a purpose.

Every inkjet printer has upsides and downsides. The cost of the consumables (ink cartridges) is one of the largest expenses experienced after the initial purchase of the printer itself. But that it not the only extra expense encountered. Most brick and mortar stores as well as online stores do not include the USB cable need to attach your inkjet printer to your computer. A USB cable can cost anywhere between $5 to over $30. So my advice is to keep your USB cable once you dispose of your old printer.

When you shop for an inkjet printer keep in mind what you want to print. If you just print text that does not have to be top quality you can go for a low-end, low-cost printer. But if you need higher quality text and an occasional photo printed spend more on the printer. If you print a lot of photos spend the extra money to get a printer highly rated for photo printing. If you need to save space and need the ability to print, copy and fax you may want an all-in-one inkjet printer. In any case, the re-fill ink cartridges will eventually be your biggest ongoing expense.

Epson Direct CD Printing Guide For Beginner

February 14, 2019James13Leave a comment

Nowadays many companies that produce photo printers supplement these devices with a very useful feature such as direct CD printing. Thus a great number of models of ink-jet printers come with the ability to print images on a CD surface that has a special covering. Such CDs or DVDs are called the printable ones.

It should be noted that the method of CD/DVD printing gives them an inimitable individuality. Such discs with a printed image on them look very presentable and informative. It is one of he best ways personalize the user’s photos, video or music.

Epson being one of such companies offers its customers direct CD/DVD printing. The EPSON Print CD software that comes with EPSON photo printers allows printing your favorite images on CD/DVD. After the creation of your image for a CD, you can print it out on the CD with 12 or 8 cm diameter.

CD Printing Guide

· Use only such CD/DVDs that are specially designed for printing. Usually they have the following indications: “Printable on the label surface” or “Printable with ink jet printers”.

· As opposed to printing on a special Epson paper, images on CD/DVD are printed with less saturated colors.

· Print out images on CD/DVD only after data record. In other case fingerprints, scratches or dust on a disc surface may cause write error.

· If you are going to print out a great number of compact discs, first you should print images on several unnecessary discs and then check the result of the printed surface the next day.

· Do not use CDs and do not touch the printed surface, till it dries out completely. Do not dry the printed CD/DVD by the bright sunlight.

· If the printed surface remains sticky after drying, it may be that the colors are excessively saturated. In this case you should lower the color saturation in EPSON Print CD.

· Ingress of moisture on the printed surface may cause the color smearing.

· The repeated printing on a compact-disc will not necessarily improve the quality of printing.

· Depending on the type of compact-disc and color saturation the image may become smudged.

· With the help of EPSON Print CD you may adjust the printing area on a compact-disc. Adjust the area of printing in such a way, so it coincides with the print area of a compact-disc that you are going to use. Wrong adjustments may stain the disc tray or a compact-disc.
