Few people know that a thermal printer does not use toner, ink or color ribbons as it is in other solutions - laser, inkjet or dot matrix printers. In thermal printers, the printing looks a bit different - a special thermal head heats up after applying energy to it, burning points on the thermal paper. In this way, a printout is usually made in black.
A printer like that is much cheaper to use because it does not require ink or toner replacement, only a special thermal paper. It consists of a base paper,
a thermo-sensitive emulsion and a protective layer. Black print will be created after exceeding the temperature limit generated by the thermal head. It is worth paying attention to the thickness of the paper as the durability of the images printed on it may vary. All these properties should be taken into account to ensure that the prints do not fade and remain legible for the required time.
The simplest example of thermal printouts that we deal with on a daily basis are receipts or tickets from a parking meter.
We all know what happens to the receipts or tickets from the parking meter, after prolonged exposure to sunlight, the text fades or disappears completely.
To remedy this, it is enough to use thermal labels, they are made of a raw material with a much higher grammage. They are characterized by much greater resistance to UV radiation, in contrast to receipt paper. The text will fade and the paper will turn yellow, it will look unsightly but still legible.
Thermal labels are used in catering companies because long-term storage in a refrigerator will not affect the quality and legibility of the print.

What is a shipping label?
At the very beginning, we will explain what a shipping label is. This is a document that accompanies the package of your shipment and contains information that helps describe and identify the contents of a container or package and is used by carriers to ensure correct delivery. These labels contain key information such as address, name, weight, and tracking barcodes. The best labels for this will be 104mm x 159mm compatible with Dymo S0904980 printers.
How to print a shipping label?
If we send a lot of parcels and sending goods by courier is the basis of the business (as in an online store), then a good label printer is a must for the company to operate efficiently and quickly.There are many models available on the market that can be used for printing courier labels. There are also devices that are strictly specialized in printing this type of documents.
The most popular of them are thermal or thermal transfer printers. They differ from each other in the printing technology.
The advantage of thermal printers is the low cost of operation, while the disadvantage is poor resistance to sunlight and other external factors. So if you're shipping international labels this may not be an option for you.
However, in transfer printers, thanks to the addition of one element during printing, which is a ribbon, the dye of which, as a result of heating, is transferred to the printed surface, thus giving a clear, durable and resistant to external conditions printout. Thanks to this, the labels will be more durable, will not fade and will not be blurred, and the print with barcodes and address data will be visible all the time.
Remember that a fast and tailored printer is half the battle. The second important element are shipping labels, thanks to which you can significantly speed up the process of preparing shipments. In this way, you can spend the time saved on improving other processes in the company. In our offer you will certainly find the perfect solution for your business!
At home, you can use several types of filters. You will decide which option is best and most convenient for you. Important factors are the amount of water you use and the level and type of contaminant you want to get rid of in your tap water.
Reverse osmosis
Reverse osmosis water filters are considered the best systems. There are at least several reasons. First, when it comes to water treatment, osmosis systems are second to none. Secondly, the multitude of variants makes them affordable for everyone. Another advantage is the ability to adapt the osmosis system to individual needs. This is possible thanks to a wide range of osmosis cartridges. It is enough to match the cartridges to the parameters of the filtered water. We can choose a reverse osmosis filter with a mineralizer or other refining elements. Thanks to this, we can not only purify the water, but also mineralize or ionize it.Unfortunately, this type of tap water filtration is quite expensive and requires proper installation and periodic filter replacement.
Carbon filters
Carbon cartridge filters are a much more popular and simpler solution. They are placed in special jugs or reusable bottles, there are also carbon inline filters. Carbon filter effectively removes chlorine and its compounds as well as organic pollutants. Thanks to the use of a carbon filter, the taste of water is improved, discoloration and unpleasant odors disappear. It is recommended to precede filtration on activated carbon by mechanical filtration. The carbon filter should be replaced when its efficiency decreases or when the organoleptic properties of the water worsen. These filters should be replaced regularly, usually after about 30 days. It is extremely important due to the fact that the unchanged operating filters become a breeding ground for bacteria.
Which solution to choose?
All types of tap water filtration are definitely better than using water in plastic bottles. Choose the type that is most convenient for you. Filter jugs and bottles are by far the most popular and the cheapest solution. No matter which of these options you choose - the most important thing is that you take a step towards saving our planet!
]]>The meaning of refurbished, recycled or remanufactured cartridges is the same. They are compatible with manufacturers' printers just like new cartridges but have been reconditioned and reused just as their name suggests!
The term "Remanufactured" is used because parts such as the print head, inkjet chips or laser drums are replaced in some cases. Unlike second-hand market where products are simply cleaned for reuse, remanufacturing involves replacing these components within a product which differs from traditional recycling methods of taking apart the item to salvage its individual components before discarding them entirely.
A cartridge can be refilled several times, just like toner. However, it is important to use high-quality ink that will have a similar quality as original printer cartridges or toners. In order for the finished prints to look good and be comparable with those made by originals, key steps include cleaning print heads of any residue from powder or leftover inks using specialized solutions suitable for particular printers. Under the influence of exploitation, some elements may be damaged. This is when new mechanical parts are replaced and inks or toners repaired with replacement components such as chips that count pages printed and magnetic cotter pins, seals springs and shafts checked out too. In order to regenerate a laser toner, it is important that the entire regeneration kit and appropriate room conditions are met. Supplies needed include screwdrivers, tweezers and feeler gauges (to properly position slats).To get rid of the dust that has yet to settle, a vacuum cleaner with an excellent double filtering system is needed. Some companies invest in professional extractors for this purpose as well because it can remove both large and small particles from previous coloring materials. In the case of toners, a separate powder for sprinkling OPC photosensitive drums is also necessary. This will help avoid rubbing between the drum and scrubber to keep your printer in good working order. One must note that while carrying out of this technological process, it is important to keep the room ventilated and well lit. The person performing the service should also wear a dust mask and protective clothing kits in order to avoid inhalation or absorption into their skin.
Genuine inks and toners compatible with printers from leading brands of electronic equipment tend to be quite expensive. Regeneration is definitely cheaper: it's estimated that reusing the same component can save up 70-90% of the cost when compared to purchasing a new one! The more significant discrepancy in cost of regeneration compared to new toner or ink is only apparent when examining individual models. For most people, regeneration is 50% cheaper than buying a new cartridge and sometimes refilled cartridges are even better value for money - because some manufacturers put less powder inside the cartridge that could fit! By using regenerated cartridges, we also help to protect the environment by reusing some of our toner and ink. We reuse parts that can be recycled so we aren’t throwing away empty cartridges every time they run out!

]]>There are two types of label printers:
- The thermal label printer is a machine that prints black ink only. This device needs special paper to be used, which cannot include the sheets typically found in computer printers. The thermal printer is a more expensive and delicate printing option, but it can print labels in a much shorter timeframe. The mechanical nature of the machine makes them less than ideal for longer-term projects that require consistency over time.
- Thermal transfer label printer - a type of printers distinguished by its ability to print in color and use plain paper. The great advantage is that these labels are much more durable than the thermal devices we deal with, due to their resistance against moisture, changing temperatures, mechanical damage or time passing. The color label printer uses different color tapes. This means that in order to make high quality prints, a compatible tape is needed which makes the process slightly more expensive than with other printers on lower-quality paper.
How to choose a label printer?
There are a lot of factors to consider when selecting your label printer. Whether you're just starting out or upgrading, we've got the lowdown on what makes for an optimal printing experience. It's important not only that labels come out in high-definition and with fast production times but also whether they can be customized to fit any situation. When considering different types of printers there are some key things which will affect its output:
- Efficiency - labels save time and money because they are more efficient. Label printers do not use any ink or toner, so we have to look at the length of the tape in order to calculate how many labels can be printed before buying a new one. By multiplying this value by the dimensions of a single label, you will find out exactly what number is possible for printing in comparison with other types of printer models that require additional expenses on paper supplies every month.
- Resolution - when it comes to printing, resolution is the key. The higher that number, the better quality of your printout will be because more dots are applied at a time in 1 mm on paper surface. Industrial models for use in retail have resolutions up 600 dpi while standard printers intended for home or office setting have rates as low as 150-200 dpi.
- Printer type:
- Print width - the print width of a machine determines the maximum length of your label, which is helpful if you need more room for descriptive text. Larger labels are usually better as they can be read from farther away and typically hold up against dirt longer than smaller ones do. There's an array to choose from - ranging anywhere between 30 mm-104mm in standard sizes - so it's important that you find one with enough space for what you're trying to put out there!
- Print speed - The speed of a printer is not the only thing to take into account when deciding on which one to buy. There are two types: mobile and stationary printers. Mobile models print at 20 mm/sec, while those in an office will be able to get up 50mm/s for each sheet printed. Industrial devices can go as high as 200 mm per second!
- Connection - One of the most important features to consider before making a label printer purchase is how it connects. There are older models with an RD232 serial port, so if you're looking for something that can connect via USB or Bluetooth then be sure not to settle on one without checking its specifications first!
- Supported systems - It's important to know which systems you are using before purchasing a printer so that you can make sure the right ones work with your operating system.
With our massive selection of printers and labels, you're guaranteed to find the perfect solution for your company. Whether it's a small business or large corporation, we have what you need!

]]>There are a few basic steps to keeping your printer in good condition - which also means longer life:
1.Cleaning the printer
When cleaning your printer, it's wise to take steps to protect yourself. Take off any jewelry or metal work from both hands and feet so that you don't have an electrical shock if a wire is still live in the machine while you're working on it. Put on safety gear like latex gloves and a mask before proceeding with the clean-up as well; these will help prevent fine toner particles from getting into your skin or lungs when they fly around during the process of removing ink stains (or other substances).
Once you are properly prepared, you can start cleaning. For this purpose, it is best to use a dry microfiber cloth that will attract dust particles and thoroughly clean the device. You can also use a small pressure-controlled vacuum cleaner to extract dust to remove dust.
2. Cyclic replacement or regeneration of the drum
A drum is a key component of toner cartridges in laser printers. A printer's life can vary depending on the number and frequency of print outs, as well as other factors such as how often you turn off your printer or where it is stored when not being used; but if there are any mechanical issues with either the shaft that holds up each individual page before they're printed out, or the drum itself - which stores all information about what to do next - then these items will need replacing sooner rather than later.
The drums found inside inkjet printers contain toner for printing documents while those within black-and-white and color laser printers store both this substance along with replacement gears necessary for continued use.
3. Use of high-quality toner cartridges
Toners are a valuable investment and with the right toner, your printer can last longer. Toners for printers today come in many different grades to suit any need or preference; all one needs is some research on what will best suit your individual purpose.
Toners - both replacements and original toner, indirectly affect the durability of lasers. High-class components with their appropriate combination in a given toner means that it does not have a harmful effect on photosensitive rollers while ensuring saturation of printouts by color and preventing graying out. Innovative properties are available on the market which is worth taking into account.
In addition to the desire for quality toner, you should also consider where it is sourced from.
Printing Pleasure online store ensures that your original or replacement toner cartridge will be new, secured properly with full capabilities.
If you follow these three tips, you can be sure that your laser printer will serve you for many years to come.

]]>How do I know when my laser printer is low on toner?
Laser printers are equipped with special sensors that determine the condition of the installed toner. This allows you to estimate the amount of powder left in our printing device. Modern printers usually notify before the toner runs out. In the case of older models, we will notice at some point that the prints are of lower quality. Sharpness may be impaired and colors may be faded. Strips may also appear on finished printouts, and text may not be fully printed. This means that the toner cartridge needs to be replaced.
How to replace Pantum toner cartridge?
1. Turn off the printer
2. Remove the old toner from the printer
3. Remove the new toner from its package
4. Shake from side to side 5-6 times to make the toner evenly distributed
5. Uncover the black paper applied for protecting cartridge
6. Pull out the transparent seal
7. Put the cartridge into the printer
]]>There are two filter layers inside the filter cartridge. Each of them actively performs two distinct functions. The top part of the filter traps mechanical impurities such as sand or rust, while a so-called filter mesh traps grease and foam.
One of the components of the filter cartridges is activated carbon, which is responsible for the absorption of many harmful substances. Among them, we can mention chlorine, detergents, herbicides, pesticides and organic substances. We also owe active carbon to the improvement of the taste of tap water and the neutralization of unpleasant odors.
How does activated carbon work? Well, its structure is porous, thanks to which it attracts and attaches harmful substances from water to its surface. Additionally, due to the fact that the carbon is impregnated with silver, it also prevents the growth of microorganisms.
The ion exchange resin is the second component that is inside our filter cartridge. Its task is to remove excess magnesium and calcium salts from the water - in short, softening the water. We all know the problem of hard water and scale build-up in various household appliances that shorten their lifespan. What else does resin do? Specifically, it is capable of eliminating some heavy metals, such as lead. In addition, it enriches water with magnesium, increasing its pH, thanks to which it has an alkaline reaction that is beneficial for the body, which in turn has deacidifying properties.
The filter cartridges are constructed in such a way that they allow the circulation of water and thus its even filtration. The filter cartridges themselves are steam sterilized before being packed, which means they are immediately ready for use.

]]>Inkjet or laser printer?
When you ask yourself this question, you need to consider how often you print and what you print. If you print sporadically and not much, and you care about good-quality color prints of photos or pictures, then an inkjet printer will be much better. A laser printer is better for printing text documents more frequently. Also take into account that laser printers are usually larger than laser printers. Before buying, make sure you have room for more equipment at home.

]]>There are many places to buy printer cartridges these days. The purchase can be made both online and stationary, but before you make a purchase, you must decide whether you will choose original products or replacements.
Stationary and online purchase
Both stationary and online shopping have their advantages and disadvantages. In a stationary store, you can make a purchase here and now, without having to wait for the shipment. There will also be staff there to help you choose your product and answer a variety of questions. Unfortunately, the price of products in stationary stores is visibly higher than in online stores. In addition, there is a need to leave the house, go to the store, and therefore spend much more time on the purchase.
If you order online, you can definitely count on a lower price and a larger selection of original and replacement products. You will also save yourself the trouble of leaving the house and driving to the store. However, you have to take into account that the delivery of the product by a courier company may take up to several days, depending on the store.
Replacements and original products
When purchasing printer cartridges, you must also decide whether you will choose replacements or originals. How are they different? Original products are much more expensive than the previously mentioned replacements, sometimes even by several dozen percent. Compatible cartridges, apart from their low price, also surprise with their efficiency and quality. Nowadays, many users are opting for this solution. However, it is worth remembering to use substitutes of proven brands, and choose the right product for the model of your printer.

Who is the laser printer for?
A laser printer is definitely the best choice in the office, at work and in other places where a lot of printing is done and where printing time matters. Laser printers are very fast, they can print up to 20 sheets in one minute.

There are two types of drums: those that are permanently built into the printer or those that are a replaceable part. When it comes to the quality or speed of printing, there is no difference between them. The only difference is the method of their replacement - for example, a laser printer with a fixed component may generate higher operating costs, associated with the replacement of the entire module, not just its part.
The electrographic roller (photosensitive layer) is the part of the drum unit that is consumed.
After using your laser printer for a while, you will definitely need to replace the printer drum.
How do you know that the drum unit is worn out, not the toner cartridge?

cyan (C)
magenta (M)
yellow (Y)
black (K)
Cyan - the first primary color is a shade of blue that can be described as a combination of gray and blue.
Magenta - is a combination of red and blue - which in effect gives us a juicy pink, reminiscent of a fuchsia color.
Yellow - as the name suggests it is a shade of yellow. However, it is yellow quite subdued - in other words not very intense.
Black is also a color name that tells us a lot. In the case of printer cartridges, it is a shade of black, which is also not very intensely saturated.
The intensity and color of the colors depends on the manufacturer of the printing supplies. Some cartridges may have more intense colors, others less. It is worth paying attention to the quality and certification of the products we buy.
How are other colors of CMYK primary colors formed?
Thanks to the four basic colors that are mixed with each other during printing, we can obtain countless colors and shades. CMYK primary colors combine with each other in the right proportions, giving us the desired print effect. It is also worth mentioning that the final effect of the printout may differ from what we see on the computer screen - both in terms of color intensity and their shades.
Where does this difference come from? On the computer screen, images are presented in the RGB model, and printing on paper in the CMYK model.

Principle of laser printer is same as that of a photocopy machine. Laser beam is used to produce image on a drum, which alters the electrical charge on the drum wherever it hits. Then the drum is rolled over a reservoir of toner which is picked up by the charged portions of drum. Finally, the toner is transferred to the paper through a combination of heat and pressure. Following are some of the characteristics of a laser printers:
Most of the laser printers uses four colors and has a different toner cartridge for each one: Yellow(Y), Magenta (M), Cyan (C), and Black (K). Health of all these toner cartridges can be seen on the display of the printer and status LED gives warning about the specific toner cartridge that should be replaced. Following steps should be adopted to replace the specific color toner (shown from display or LED warning) or the all-in-one toner cartridge depending which type of laser printer you are using.
Black & white laser printers have black toner as the only toner cartridge. Warning message on the printer display or on software indicates that it is time to replace the black toner. Steps that should be followed for replacing black toner are given below:
Replacement is necessary if a warning message is displayed on the printer or computer screen that a specific color toner cartridge is depleted. Toner cartridges are of three types; original equipment manufacturer (OEM) cartridges, remanufactures & compatible toner cartridges. Original cartridges are ink and toner cartridges that are manufactured by the printer manufacturers themselves and are designed to be used in brand-specific printers only. E.g. brother printer toner, hp printer toner and Samsung printer toner.
Compatible printer cartridges are new cartridges that match original printer manufacturer cartridges in specification but which can be purchased at a lower price. E.g.
