Printing at home or in a small office should be simple. This page brings together the everyday bits you need to keep pages clear and sharp. The star of the range is ink cartridges, matched to popular brands and models. Pick your brand, check your model code, and choose the pack size that suits how much you print. If you are unsure, check your printer manual or the label on your current cartridge.
To get the best print quality, use ink that match your exact model. Mixing brands or using the wrong type can cause streaks or dull colour. Choose high yield options if you print a lot; they lower the cost per page and cut swaps. Genuine ink or well made compatibles both work when matched right. For photos, use paper made for dye or pigment ink.
How to store ink cartridges
Store ink in a cool, dry spot and keep them sealed until you need them. Heat, sun and dust can dry out the nozzles. If you print rarely, run a small colour page each week to keep ink flowing. When you swap a cartridge, run the printer’s clean cycle to clear air and keep lines crisp. Keep a spare pack on hand so you are not stuck when a job is due.
Seeing faded text or lines? Check levels first, then make sure the ink cartridges are seated right. A gentle wipe of the contacts with a lint free cloth can fix odd errors. Also check paper type in the print dialog; the wrong setting can make prints look washed out. If a colour is missing after a changeover, run the nozzle check and head clean in your printer menu.
Many customers ask about cost and waste. We stock originals and quality alternatives for ink, so you can pick what suits your budget and jobs. Refill programs for ink cartridges are also an option for some brands. When a cartridge is empty, recycle it through your local scheme. Keeping cartridges out of landfill helps the reef. For heavy users, set a simple reorder reminder so you are never caught short.
