Technical Bulletin - 9th November 2010
Who's using Inkjets?
Ealier this year Recharger magazine in association with Lyra research conducted the following study and what they found was quite interesting and substancially different to what was expected. We have included here a small amount of data and the complete study can be found online at the recharger magazine website.
This study vindicates HP's huge investment in office type heavy duty inkjet printers.
General Business Sales
Overall 71% of all inkjet cartridges purchased are new OEMS
21% use aftermarket/compatible cartridges
8% use refilled ink cartridges
Percentage Businesses using Inkjet Printers
SOHO 91%
Small 75%
Medium 76%
Large 89%
This dispels the common opinion that inkjet printers are only used in small businesses. 89% of large business have inkjet printers in use.
Comparison SOHO vs Large
SOHO (Small office home office) businesses use 7% refilled inkjet cartridges.
While large businesses (over 500 employees) use 12% refilled inkjet cartridges.
You can see that larger businesses are more likely to use refilled inkjet cartridges and are nearly at the same percentage as SOHO for installed inkjet printers. So maybe its time for a rethink, the facts are clear large businesses who have the most installed printers per business seem more receptive to inkjet refilling.
What a suprise! What a great opportunity to substancially expand your business and bottom line.
Chip expiry date on Ausjet HP02 Refillable/Resettable Inkjet Cartridges
We have been informed that a number of chips that were produced in 2007/2008 have recently expired in September 2010. We contacted the chip manufacturer and they explained that these chips have a life span of +/- 2 to 3 years after the production date. If you have any returned cartridges that have expired, we recommend that you explain to the customer that the cartridge has reached the end of its useful life. Recommend a new HP02 refillable/resettable cartridge and they will be happy for another 2-3 years. Recently purchased cartridges will only expire in two to three years.
Latest news on Chip Resetters and New Chips
HP 564/920/940 - We don't really expect a chip resetter for these OEM HP cartridges to be developed. But we have heard that a number of chip manufacturers are developing new compatible chips. From information we have gathered we expect production in early 2011. We have reman HP564 and HP920 cartridges in stock.
Canon Pgi-525/Cli-526 - We are aware of a number of companies working on the resetters and chips for these models. None of these companies could give us an expected release date. As before its again a case of breaking the encryption code and I wouldn't be surprised if new aftermarket chips were developed before a resetter becomes available.
Lexmark 100 - New chips have been developed but at this stage only available for compatibles. We have XL compatibles now in stock. Currently there is no replacement chip available for the OEM cartridge.
Dell Series 21 - New Chips will soon be released for compatible Dell Series 21 cartridges. These chips essentially use the same wireless technology as the lexmark 100 chips. It is unknown at this stage if the compatible chips will fit the OEM Dell Series 21/22/23/24 cartridges.
Epson - Epson has released a wide range of inkjet cartridges using new 7 pin chip technology. That's right, Epson has gone back to a 7 pin chip. However, this time the chips have a higher level of encryption. Development work on the chips has started with a release planned for the 1st quarter 2011. You are probably thinking that this means you can pull out your old 7 pin resetter - sorry that would just be too easy wouldn't it!
Brother - I just chucked this one in to see if you were paying any attention, cross fingers touch wood at this stage Brother has not released any inkjet cartrdges featuring a chip.
I hope this information is helpful to you.

New High Frequency ultrasonic cleaner
'Custom built to Ausjet Specifications for our industry'
|
|
|
|
68Khz Ultrasonic Cleaner |
120khz Ultrasonic Cleaner |
What has happened with inkjet printheads in the last few years?
A) Smaller nozzle size. example HP60 printhead has nozzle diameter of 8.5 micron.
B) More nozzles per square inch.
C) More complex drive circuity to compensate for the increased nozzles per printhead.
D) Smaller resistors/ heaters.
Why high frequency ultrasonic cleaners?
Most of the ultrasonic cleaners available are all based on 40khz frequency. This is not unusual as 40khz is the defacto standard for general purpose ultrasonic cleaning. With modern inkjet cartridges having nozzle diameters between 7-15 microns a higher frequency ultrasonic has many beneficial properties that makes it a much better solution:
The beneficial properties of Ausjet high frequency ultrasonic cleaner
A) Higher frequency produces smaller cavitation. Smaller cavitation can clean smaller diameter spaces more effectively. ie inkjet nozzles.
B) Higher frequency is much less abrasive. Even though ultrasonic cleaners are by nature a very gently cleaning solution, a higher frequency dispels any doubts on the cavitation nature of cleaning.
C) Heating is commonly used to make cleaning more effective. eg. Heating the bath increases the cleaning nature of most water based fluids and also increases the cavitation power of the ultrasonic.
D) Can be used as a heating bath eg. soak the cartridge printheads at a set temperature over a longer period of time, commonly used to recover very difficult to recover inkjet printheads.
