Ink Cartridge vs Ink Tank Printer
By far the most common question asked by buyers of new printers is , “ should I get a tank style printer ?”
Here is my reply … A cartridge printer can be cheap to buy up front , but that comes with a delayed cost of cartridge replacement , sure . True , ink tank printers have a ton of advantages . They can print many more pages than cartridge printers before a refill is needed .
It depends on the printer , of course , but an ink tank printer can normally print 7,000 pages in black , and 5,000 in colour . Conventional cartridges are usually only good for 300 to 1000 pages .
They have lower ink costs . The cost of print cartridges and ink tank refill bottles is roughly similar . However , with print cartridges printing for only hundreds of pages , and ink tanks good for thousands , ink tank printers are much more affordable per page .
Ready for more ink tank printer cons ?
For a whole lot more money than a traditional cartridge style ink printer you are getting no extra technology for your money , just a tank refilling station bolted to the outside ; $ 98 vs $ 431 is a classic situation . So , this means two things : 1 . You need to be printing a lot before your tank printer breaks even
2 . Despite the cost , tank printers are entry level printers and you can only expect about three years life from them .
Think carefully before buying one . If you do a lot of printing , they are excellent value .

BUSINESS
Aussie ’ s spring clean-up
Things are buzzing at 7 Gladstone Road , Castle Hill !
Australian Pump ( Aussie Pumps ) is finding that their advanced designs , ISO9001 Quality and fair prices are taking over from the third world low-cost imports !
Australians are realising they have been seduced into low priced machinery such as pumps and pressure cleaners , without realising the trade-off is a short life and often unreliable performance of the machines .
“ The team at Aussie decided that when they started the business if they couldn ’ t build better machines that were on the market already , then they were basically irrelevant . If we can ’ t be better than the big corporations or multi-nationals , we have no place in the market ,” said John Hales , chief engineer .
Today the company is flourishing . It boasts global export sales of their great high pressure Jetters , pressure cleaners and the famous Aussie Fire Chief , the world ’ s best lightweight portable fire pump !
“ It is gratifying but we have trouble
keeping up and that is why we keep advertising for additional staff ,” said Hales .
“ It is time for us to hire a new generation to propel us into the future .”
