Single Inks – What are the Benefits?
Inkjet printers utilise four different colours to print; Black, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow. Most printer manufacturers use ‘sealed’ toner cartridges, which means that as soon as one colour runs out, you have to throw away the cartridge resulting in a lot of wastage. With ‘Separate Ink Tanks’ each colour is provided in its own individual tank and when it is empty you simply replace that colour which means no wastage at all. Most Canon printers use ‘Separate Ink Tanks’ which means that the cost of ownership is lower than that of a lot of their competitors. What is the difference between USB and Parallel Connections Most desktop printers use either Parallel or USB (Universal Serial Bus) connections. There are benefits to using both of these connections, although USB is considered the more versatile and ‘capable’ of the two.
