While internet shopping certainly has its advantages, many shoppers worry about shopping safely online. Identity theft, fraud, and scams are all things that many online shopper worry about, but it is possible to shop safely online if you know what safety features to look for and what types of things to avoid while purchasing online. Online retailers use many tools and types of technology to keep shoppers safe. Reputable retailers use precautions to protect shopper's personal information such as credit card numbers, bank account details, and other sensitive information. Shopper's information is transmitted via secure servers and encoded or scrambled so that identity thieves cannot access the information. Every reputable online retailer will prominently display the safety features they use to protect customers information, and you should make sure that the website you purchase from has this information available. Shopping safely online begins with being able to identify common safety features of online retailers. Each browser has a security icon that they display in the address bar of the browser window. Internet Explorer displays a closed lock in the address bar on pages that are secure. Other browsers use a key icon. You should always look for this icon before making a purchase. You should also be sure that the web address of the page you are viewing starts with "https" instead of "http" before you submit any personal information. Making sure you look for these security features is a good start to shopping safely online, but there are also other things you should do to keep yourself safe. You should also consider the brand or website that you are purchasing from as it will help you to be more confident in your purchases and access the safety of the website.

You can also check the Better Business Bureau for any complaints or shady business practices on the company. You should also be sure that the company you are purchasing from has clearly stated contact numbers, shipping information, and fully discloses all sales taxes and shipping costs before you enter any credit card information.

Remanufactured ink cartridges are made from recycled inkjet cartridges. The cartridges have been disassembled, inspected, cleaned, restored, reassembled, and filled with new ink. They are then tested, sealed, and packaged. Remanufactured cartridges are also designed to be compatible with your printer and meet or exceed OEM standards. If you see both terms used, that means it's a remanufactured ink cartridge.
By choosing remanufactured for your replacement ink cartridge, you are helping to protect the earth and create a more sustainable world. But what about the warranty? HP, Lexmark, Canon, and the other big companies would like you to believe that buying a generic cartridge voids your entire warranty, but that's not true. You don't have to buy Epson ink for an Epson printer. The Magnuson-Moss Act, passed in 1975, prohibits a company from voiding your printer warranty if you use another company's ink. They are not legally required to pay for damage caused directly by the ink itself, but they have to prove the ink was at fault. The rest of the warranty remains in effect. By buying quality compatible ink from reliable sellers, you greatly reduce any risk of printer problems. In any case, the money you save will eventually allow you to afford a new inkjet printer!

Dot matrix and daisy wheel printers ravaged homes and offices everywhere, and monstrous laser printers wreaked havoc on free desk space and drained bank accounts. In 1984, when all seemed lost, there appeared a new force - the inkjet printer. Led by a few brave companies such as HP, Epson, and Canon, inkjet printers began a direct assault on the forces of bad printing. Epson attacked with its piezo crystals, and HP and Canon with their bubble jets. A fierce war erupted, and at stake was the future of home and business publishing. Over the next few years, inkjet printers continued to improve in quality and speed, as well as fall in price. Color inkjet printers appeared and joined the fray. A final showdown with dot matrix and daisy wheel was inevitable, and both camps prepared for the ultimate battle. During the 1990s, inkjet printers came to dominate the realm of printer ink. Dot matrix and daisy wheel printers were decisively crushed and driven into exile in dusty corners and closets, or else thrown into trash bins. Laser printers, while still a threat, no longer ravaged the land unopposed. The Age of Inkjet Ink had arrived. But change was coming. Within the last few years, two trends have swept across the ink cartridge landscape. The first is the rise of remanufactured and compatible inkjet cartridges. Small but determined companies are leading the revolt against HP, Canon, Epson, and the other giants of printer ink. The second is the explosion of the Internet. Now buyers have more choices than ever before, and many are buying their replacement ink cartridges online. The future of inkjet cartridges will likely be a promising but violent one. Ink cartridges will continue to improve, along with inkjet printers. The printer cartridge giants will not give up their territory easily, and many battles can be expected. And now, the great powers of the printer cartridge world: Hewlett Packard Hewlett Packard, or HP, is a colossus on the inkjet cartridge battlefield. Started in 1939 in a Palo Alto, CA garage for $500, HP pioneered the development of personal computers (1968) and desktop laser and inkjet printers (1984), among many other accomplishments. It devoured Compaq in 2002 and now struggles with Dell for title of Computer King. Its armada includes the popular Deskjet and Officejet printers, along with copiers, scanners, and multifunction machines. Massive and intimidating, HP plans to crush its printer ink competitors with overwhelming force. Epson is the strong printer arm of the Seiko Group (the watch maker). Started in 1961 to make precision parts for its parent company, it soon came to dominate the dot matrix printer market and introduced its 1st commercial inkjet printer in 1984. Its army includes the popular Stylus and Stylus Photo printers. Epson guards its ink domain jealously and keeps a vigilant watch on its rivals. Canon Canon keeps firing away at its enemies with high quality inkjet printers. Started in Japan in 1933, its original name was Kwanon, after the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy. This was later changed to Canon as the company began to build its empire overseas. Canon's first products were cameras, and it remains one of the foremost camera makers to this day. Canon successfully expanded its electronic empire in the 70s and 80s, introducing some of the first inkjet printers, and began a long struggle with HP. Today, Cannon continues to pound its enemies with its inkjet cartridges. Lexmark This print-happy child of IBM was spun-off from its parent company in 1991. Since then, Lexmark has become one of the world's leading makers of laser and ink jet printers. Unlike some of its bigger and more diversified rivals, Lexmark focuses like a laser on the rough world of printer ink, and aims to burn its competition. Brother This Japanese printer manufacturer shows no brotherly love to its competitors. Originally founded in 1934 as a maker of sewing machines, Brother entered the more manly arena of laser printers and fax machines in 1987, followed by inkjet printers in 1992. A relative late comer to the inkjet cartridge war, Brother works vigorously to leave its competition in stitches. Dell Dell is locked in a life-and-death struggle with HP for top place in personal computers, but it's a new face in the printer cartridge battle. Dell, founded in 1984 by Michael Dell (obviously), is rapidly building up its inkjet forces to wage war on all that stand in its way to total ink cartridge domination. |
