Brother Releases New Color Printers & Toner Cartridges!
Brother International Corporation has released 5 new color laserjet printers. These new lines of printers boasts a number of consumer friendly features at affordable prices. These are a great deal for anyone in the market for a multi-functional printer. These Brother multi-function (MFP) printers are intended to be the workhorse for small, medium and even large businesses.
High Yield Cartridge Options
Unlike many comparable printers on the market today, the new models have high yield toner cartridge options available. Other printers and brands leave consumers with few options when volume printing was required.

Brother Releases New Color Printer With High Yield Cartridges!
Brother International Corporation has released 5 new color laserjet printers. This new line of printers boasts a number of high end features without the sticker shock of most multi-functional printers. Like many Brother multi-function (MFP) printers, these are designed to be the workhorse and hub of small, medium and even large businesses.
High Yield Cartridge Options
Unlike some older Brother printers, these new models have high yield toner cartridge options. Older Brother toner series like the TN210 left consumers with little options when volume printing was required. With previous success with the TN110/TN115 & TN310/TN315 cartridges, many customers were screaming about the lack of high yield options on the TN210. The new TN221/TN225 toner cartridges will surely be great news for fans of Brother printers.

Printers Have Hard Drives
That’s right, your printer stores copies of documents on a hard drive that can be accessed, duplicated or distributed. Did you know that if you connect your printer unsecured to the internet that potentially anyone can access this data at anytime? That’s right, all those sensitive company or personal documents are at risk to internet thieves.
86,000 Unsecured Online Printers
In a recent internet search, a UK blogger found 86,000 HP printers unsecured and available. This number is staggering considering that this is not a specific problem with HP but will include virtually all major printer brands like Brother, Canon, Lexmark and more. Once you add in all the other brands, this figure will rise dramatically. Is your printer one of these?

Lexmark To Exit Inkjet Market By The End Of 2013
In an industry that is coming under increased competition and decreased sales, Lexmark has announced a shift in strategies and will no longer continue in the inkjet market. Lexmark will focus it’s attention on high volume business printing while abandoning the consumer market. Bad news for consumers but good news for stock holders with stocks climbing up 13.7% on the announcement.
What Does This Mean If You Have a Lexmark Inkjet Printer?
Lexmark has announced that all inkjet related production will cease by the end of 2013 and will no longer manufacture OEM ink cartridges. They will continue to provide service, support and aftermarket (Non-OEM) supplies. This means consumers will be forced to buy remanufactured cartridges or in some cases buy new printers.
Will I Have To Buy A New Printer?
Not right away since there are still OEM and aftermarket supplies available. Remanufactured cartridges are available for most models. These remanufactured cartridges are dependent on having empty cores/ cartridges and when these run out, so will aftermarket options. This won’t happen for a long times since estimates have current OEM availability at 3-6 months from the time manufacturing stops, aftermarket supplies will run out 3-6 months after that.
Lexmark has announced plans to sell it’s inkjet patents. When Lexmark sells it’s patents, the buyer will then be legally able to manufacture OEM quality cartridges. If and when this could possibly happen is unknown at this time.

What Items Are Affected?
HP has announced that this price increase will only affect select HP DesignJet Ink Cartridges effective on September 1, 2012. We do have a list of affected SKU’s upon request. Please Contact Us and let us know what printer you have and we will let you know how and if your supplies will be affected.
How Much Is The Price Increase?
HP has announced that the price increase will vary from model to model. HP has said that most SKUs will increase be around 3%. You can Contact Us to find out the exact price increase that each model will incur.
How Can I Keep My Costs Down?
HP DesignJet printers are typically specialty or production printers, these specialty inks typically cost more than regular inks. Since these specialty inks are harder to reproduce, there are less compatible/ remanufactured ink alternatives. When you can find these inks, we suggest you consider these since you can save up to 60%. Also HP usually has rebate offers when you buy 2+ cartridges, so keep an eye out for these or Contact Us for current HP promotions.

Is there a difference between Compatible and Remanufactured cartridges?
Many retailers will list their 3rd party cartridges as either compatible or remanufactured. So what exactly is the difference between these two types of cartridges? We will go into detail about the exact differences and if one is better or worse than the other.
Remanufactured Cartridges
Remanufactured means that this was a brand name used cartridge that has been refurbished. Typically the cartridge is inspected and any parts that fail the inspection are replaced. These replacement parts are typically 3rd party or aftermarket compatible parts but can be parts from another similar or same type of cartridge. Compatible replacement parts are new but not made by the original cartridge manufacturer. Here are a couple of examples of remanufactured cartridges.
Brother TN350 Compatible Toner Cartridge = $33.99
HP 940XL High Yield Black Compatible Ink Cartridge C4906AN = $15.99
Compatible Cartridges
Compatible cartridges are commonly called new build or new mold cartridges. Unlike remanufactured cartridges, compatible cartridges have a shell or core that has never been used before. The manufacturer will construct the outer shell and use all new 3rd party internal components. With many popular cartridges, the shell and certain internal components may be patented therefore it is illegal to make a copy or clone. The amount of true compatibles on the market are much smaller than remanufactured cartridges. Some overseas companies will blatantly produce illegal new mold cartridges in an effort to save money. Please be aware that Express-Inks does not sell any illegal new mold compatible cartridges. Here are a couple of examples of true compatible cartridges.
Media Sciences MS300K Black Samsung CLP-K300A Toner = $35.99
Xerox 6R1289 Replacement HP Q2670A Black Toner Cartridge 308A = $91.99
So Which One Is Better Or Worse, Compatible Or Remanufactured Cartridges?
Both types of cartridges have their pros and cons. Some customer will prefer to know they are using as many OEM parts as possible. Some customer will prefer the new compatible cartridges because the performance may be better than the OEM version. Both kinds of cartridges come with similar compatibility and performance issues but remanufactured cartridges do tend to be a little cheaper. Their is no clear advantage since their performance can vary so greatly from model to model.

Brother DR420 Imaging Drum Overview:
When purchasing a printer, comparing the cost of the consumables should always be a factor. Lets take a good at the DR420 imaging drum cartridge. The DR420 fits in a number of monochrome (black & white) printers and yields up to 12,000 pages under optimal conditions. Although this may seem like a lot of pages, when compared to other drums, this is just an average to low lifespan. The matching toner (Brother TN450 Toner) yields up to 2,600 pages and will get replaced 4-5 times before the DR420 requires replacing. This is a good toner to drum ratio, especially when compared to some of the bigger machines that are a 1 to 1 ratio.
Brother DR420 Pricing:
This is where the DR420 really shines. Compared to other drum models, the Brother DR420 is rather inexpensive. Some Brother Drum models cost as much as $250, so the $84.99 price is rather reasonable. The low page yield and reasonable price will appeal to the lower to moderate user that do not want to break the bank every time the drum needs replacing. The cost goes down even further if you purchase the compatible drum for only $57.99.
Brother DR420 Genuine Drum (OEM) = $84.99
Brother DR420 Compatible Drum (Remanufactured) = $57.99
Sum It All Up
The Brother DR420 is a low costing drum that will fit the smaller budgets. It has a decent lifespan and a good toner to drum replacement ratio. This drum is a good fit for the average to moderate user that wants to keep a little extra change in their pockets.
