Printer Tips
Typical problems:
1. avoid super-cheap printers - those under £. 50/60 mark, you almost probably will have to spend £. 60 in cartridges! (they usually are the most expensive ones)
We do sell Jettec Remanufactured Brother HP Lexmark cartridges - Remanufactured cartridges are simply 'original' cartridges 'emptied/washed/refilled by Jettec and cost you usually around half price
2. when deciding on a Printer, you must know what you are going to do with it 'mainly' - if it is not Photos (they use a lot of ink), well it is simple. Just purchase a Printer with 2 cartridges, black and Tri-colour - check on the box for which Ink cartridges it fits and check their price! If it is for Photo Printing, then you may need a 4 cartridges or even a 7 or 9 and that will raise the running costs - as usual, check the cartridges prices.
We do sell Canon/Epson compatible / non original Ink Cartridges manufactured by JETTEC, a UK Company - lets keep money in the UK [although they may source parts in China!] - their Ink is very good
Please note: we do not repair printers or monitors, but we can help you solve these problems if you are not able to do it yourself or simply do not have the time and prefer us to do it for you.
In order to help you out, please bring Computer [only the box] or Laptop/Printer/Printer cables and PSU and printer original disks and we would be glad to do it for you if possible.
If it does not take a long time [sometimes is due to system problems], we only charge a small fee - it is not our policy or in our self being to overcharge our customers. You only pay for the time it takes - it is not by chance we still are trading since 1993.
You get the Family approach and treatment.
