My prints look faded after a new ink cartridge is installed

2018-08-09T17:26:00.000+01:00

My prints look faded after a new ink cartridge is installed; it’s a problem we come across occasionally from customers.

How your print nozzle or printhead is situated in your inkjet printer

It’s easily fixed; some of the inkjet nozzles, or the printheads, on the cartridge may be blocked or the ink may just need a little ‘nudge’ to get it to release. It’s a common occurrence with new cartridges or ink cartridges that have been unused or stored for a while. To help get your ink flowing smoothly again follow the steps below to run your cleaning and/or maintenance program for your printer.

This is for Windows 10 users with an HP inkjet printer; it may be slightly different for earlier versions of windows and different manufacturers but the principle is the same.

1. Open the control panel menu on your PC and select “View devices and printers”. It can be found under “Hardware and Sound”

2. Choose the printer to be cleaned and right click. Select “properties” in the drop-down menu.

3. Choose the cleaning tab. Different printers might have it listed under different names such as services, cleaning or maintenance.

4. Select the printer’s cleaning programme. (Shown as “Nozzle Clean” “Deep Clean” or similar)

Inkjet cartridges have liquid ink in them, as opposed to toner cartridges which have a powder, and they do have a shelf life and they will dry out eventually. Read How Long Will My Printer Ink Or Toner Cartridges Last? To give you some idea of how long your cartridges will last.

If your printer is set to print in ‘draft’ mode we would recommend going to your printer's default settings and changing your default printing preference to ‘high quality’ printing, this will ensure you get a better quality of print, but don’t forget, it will also use more ink.

Take Your Camera To - The Maharajah's Well

2018-04-19T10:45:00.001+01:00

What is the link between India and the quiet English village of Stoke Row, near Henley On Thames?

In the middle of an Oxfordshire village is a stunning well with an interesting history that’s worth spending time to look at.

It’s a 25ft-high iron and gilt, Indian temple well with winding gear. An unexpected find in the middle of the English countryside, this stunning well was a gift made to the village in the mid 1800’s by the Maharajah of Benares (now Varanasi).

The Selfie takes on a new 3D look

2016-08-09T08:37:00.002+01:00

3D printing has generally been restricted to a 3D printer, until now

Holograms are generally used to authenticate products or currency notes and need very expensive printers to produce them. That’s what makes bank notes and other security labels so hard to copy and counterfeit.

But a team of researchers from MIT, who have launched a company called Lumii technology, have developed a technique to produce ‘hologram selfies’, i.e. an image with a 3D effect.

Usually 3D images are create using a ‘lenticular lens’ which, in reality only produces a 2D effect, this new technique uses true 3D parallax movement, visible in all directions without the need for finding the right ‘eye line’ to really see the effect.

The holographic image capture uses an inkjet printer and printer ink to print images which are then layered on top of each other to produce a 3D hologram.

The company describes their innovative invention as “light field hologram selfies". But creating selfies is not the aim of the company; Lumii believes it’s cheaper approach to making holograms would greatly benefit advertisers. A backlight is required to create the 3D effect but since most advertising found in shopping centres, airports and train stations uses a lightbox, Lumii believes it has a ‘foot in the door’ when it comes to cheap 3D adverts. When it looks like the ads are jumping off the walls right at you, you would definitely give them your attention.
