“How A Modern Inkjet Cartridge Gives Your Work A Professional Edge”

The cartridge that sits at the heart or your inkjet printer is an ingenious piece of technology developed from years of research. The arrival of the inkjet printer in the late 1980s made high quality printing available to the home user, and soon led to the wide-scale demise of the dot matrix printer which had previously dominated the field.

The process by which ink is squirted from the cartridge onto the printing medium is highly complex. Many printers rely on thermal technology to achieve this: heat produced in the cartridge forms a tiny bubble in the ink and this pressure forces it through tiny nozzles on the print head in the form of minute droplets. Modern cartridges have several hundred nozzles, each capable of creating the very fine ink dots that make up high resolution images or text.

As manufacturers refine their techniques, they achieve finer precision and control over droplet size and placement. They also develop new formulations of ink for different purposes, for example for fine art printing and archival usage.

Inkjet printers have opened up a new world for domestic computer users. Even if you’re working on a tight budget, your cartridge will make it possible for you to produce professional standard documents quickly and easily at your own desk or work station.
