I use ink cartridges in my printer and you probably do as well. The advent of inexpensive inkjet house printers in recent years has created a world where most of us have ink cartridges. Did you ever wonder what the history of these handy containers of ink might be? How did we come from the days of ink wells and feather quills to printing everything possible, even photographs, right in our houses?

Before 1984, ink cartridges were unknown. While printers had been around for years, they all used either difficult-to-install ribbons or messy toner cartridges. Changing these devices was a messy job that often ruined business attire worn by the unfortunate person stuck making the change. The delivery of the inking agent as unreliable at best; and the paper jams plagued the dot matrix printer to such an extent that the industry began to see other solutions for ink delivery and printing.

Of course, back in those days, few people yet had a computer at house, much less a printer of any kind. As a result, there was no need for ink cartridges in the house.

By the late 1980's the development of inkjet technology and the associated drop-in ink cartridges began to change the face of printing. The reduction in cost and increase in computing power of computers additional a personal computer of some type to most houses by the early 1990's. With the addition of computers to the house, the need for less expensive house printing equipment arose and the demand was met by lower pricing of inkjet technology, making it within the budget of most technology-oriented houses to own a house printer.

Today, most houses that want to own a computer have one or more as well as printer hardware. While laser jet printers are often used in business, the inkjet technology has driven the house market due to the low cost to print per page. The ink cartridge technology allows users to install cartridges without having to have a degree in Integrated Technology to successfully accomplish the process. In fact, dropping in a new or recycled ink cartridge occurs millions of times each day across the globe.

The ink cartridges and inkjet technology available today allow house users, schools, small businesses and even high technology industries to easily print both black and white and full-color graphics, documents, and other printed material. The ability to print business cards, address labels, glossy photographs on special paper, and even postage stamps at house has literally changed the way the world does business today.

Each printer uses a specific ink cartridge or set of cartridges. Usually, the printer will require one ink cartridge for black, the most commonly used color, and another for color printing. These cartridges can be purchased new, or to save money and the environment, remanufactured and refilled. They can be found manufactured by the same company as the printing hardware or manufactured by afterwards-market companies. Shop for quality, as well as a good price, when you choose an ink cartridge replacement for your house printer.
