Xerox Solid Ink

Xerox Solid Ink
by Gary Jones

Xerox have been around since the early 1900’s and were the leading printing manufacturer in the 60’s generating over $500 million in revenue due to their successful Xerox 914 machine. Now Xerox is looking to pioneer a relatively new printing technology in Solid Ink.

What is Solid Ink?

Solid Ink technology was developed by Xerox in 1991 and technology utilizes solid wax ink sticks instead of "liquid ink" and "toner powder" typically used in printers. Solid ink is similar to crayon or wax substance which makes it cost-effective, produces incredible print quality, easy to use and it’s good for the environment.

How does Solid Ink Printer process work?

Step 1 - Preparing to Print

The solid ink printer doesn’t need addition consumables like that of drum units or transfer belts that would be normally needed for a Laser Printer. The printing process begins with the maintenance roller, which quickly applies a microscopic layer of oil to a heated drum unit. This is a simple, reliable printing mechanism which can last up to 30,000 prints.

Step 2 - Single Pass Imaging

Solid Ink utilizes a full-width print head which gives the printer a high speed image transfer.

Step 3 - Image Transfer

Paper is then rapidly fed between the drum and a roller, which transfers the wax to the paper. The process is quicker than a laser printer. There is also no Fuser Unit, which can use a lot of energy to heat up.

Step 4 - Ink Bonding

The ink penetrates the paper’s fibres as it’s transferred from the drum; it does this without the spreading of liquid ink-jets or the scattering of toner. The ink cools and solidifies immediately, which forms a strong permanent bond to the paper. The whole print process can take as little as 5 seconds.

The wax doesn’t smear and gives a more vibrant colour quality. The great thing about solid ink is that it can print on a wider range of media (paper) than liquid ink-jet or toner.

Step 5 - Reloading the Solid Ink

With Solid Ink you can reload or remove the ink sticks without taking the printer offline. A benefit in using Ink Sticks is less waste packaging and less waste ink by-products. As the ink sticks are small and compact, they do not come in big packaging nor have plastic containers.

Solid Ink Advantages
  • Print quality – is considered to be excellent with lively colours due to the way the solid ink printers process puts the ink onto the page
  • Different Media Types – Solid Ink printers can print on many different types of media including recycled. Laser and Inkjet printers depend on specific media for getting the best quality
  • Compatible Products – Compatible ink sticks are available and they’re much cheaper than the original xerox counterparts.
  • Waste – A great thing about ink sticks is the is no waste other than the packaging. So there are no big plastic empty toner cartridges or ink cartridges to dispose of responsibly.
So now you know what a Solid Ink is and how a solid ink printer works.

CISS - Continuous Ink Supply System

CISS - Continuous Ink Supply System
by Mitchell Fenger

What is Sublimation Printing Process?

Sublimation printing is a very simple two to three step process which depends on sublimation ink, heat and pressure. The impressive point of this advanced technique of digital imaging is that it converts solid colors into gaseous state without converting them to liquid, therefore maintaining the image quality and giving output that looks just like original object.

You will find a huge collection of sublimation ink and sublimation cartridges giving you finest quality digital and textile imaging. The sublimation printing process brought a drastic change and revolution in digital and textile imaging industry. The out of the box approach of using sublimation printing process speed up and refreshed the designing and imaging concepts.

CISS stands for Continuous Ink Supply System; it consists of three major parts:

1- Ink Tanks

2- Similar to original printer cartridges

3- Ink Tube, which is use to supply ink to the cartridges

The process is quite simple; the ink is continuously supplied to the cartridges through ink tube from the exterior tanks. It saves you from the hassle of visiting computer store frequently and abides you to buy the conventional branded cartridges which are quite expensive.

The best part of using CISS is that, there are some companies that are manufacturing CISS for all models of Epson, HP, Brother and Canon ink-jet printers. It is astonishing fact that using the conventional cartridges that are provided with the branded printers a user is paying 20-30 times higher price per printout, therefore CISS is such a blessing and can be used by installing within two-three simple steps and filling the provided ink in the tanks.

Simple Steps to Install CISS in Epson

There few very simple steps to follow for installing CISS in your Epson printer:

Bring all the accessories at your printer table and check for any air in the printing tubes.

Check the printer for nozzle test, it is recommended to print nozzle test sheet

If your printer is working perfectly, take out a colored printout before you install CISS.

Place the CISS on right side of the printer and keep the air plugs out and install the air filters.

Choose Main menu ->maintenance->cartridge change->cartridge change tools->next step->next step->confirm

Take the cartridge out by lifting up cartridge cover and opening it through screw driver.

Take out the Epson cartridge inside the printer and move the cartridge carrier to the left, now install the CISS cartridge into the printer and adjust the cartridge at the right place.

It is very important to move the button chip at the right place otherwise the CISS will not be recognized by the printer.

In order to check the tube length move the cartridge carrier to the left and then to the right side and verify that the ink tube falls on paper board.

If there is any problem in the tube length you can adjust it by shortening or increasing its size, the sticker can also be adjusted to prevent tube from falling.

Carefully watch the sticker it should not squeeze the ink tube when the printer cover or paper cover is closed.

Now plug in the printer wire, close the printer cover and take a test printout also check if the printer makes any noise.

Goulet Q&A Episode 12, Troubleshooting Your Fountain Pens- Ink Nouveau



www.GouletPens.com www.InkNouveau.com
This week's Q&A was actually a topic that I broke out from last week's (Using Your Fountain Pens). I ended up getting so many troubleshooting questions that I split it into a separate video, which is what I made for today. I can easily see troubleshooting as a periodically recurring topic, so it'll be interesting for me to see how you like today's video.

1) Kathie M.- Facebook (2:07):
How much ink evaporation is "normal?" When should we start looking at the integrity of the seals?

2) Helen O.- Facebook (4:54):
Yes. Kathie asked what I wondered. I put ink in my ahab pen. Then I didn't use it and picked it up about a week later; empty. Can it disappear like that- or is my memory bad?

3) Anna W.- Facebook (7:25):
Do pens leak more at high altitude? I live at 5280' and find my pens dribble into the cap fairly often. Even those that never leave my desk. It happens across the board with brands and inks.

4) Michelle B.- Facebook (9:18):
Why does this happen - I've had a couple different C/C pens completely empty the entire converter of ink into the lid/general vicinity overnight.

5) Diane- email (10:52):
In the past, I have read questions on FPN regarding cleaning the cap of a pen after changing colors. Is it possible (or necessary) to do this for a Pilot VP? If so, how would one go about checking to see if it was needed and how would it be done?

6) Roxanne R.- Facebook (12:53):
I bought a converter with my Lamy Al-Star, my first fountain pen. It's awesomely fantastic, but I do wonder: The converter seemed to pull up so very little ink compared to the space available to fill. Is it always this way, or is there a way to coax it to fill up more completely, or did I do something totally wrong? I believe I kept the fill hole submerged.

7) Christine D.- Facebook (16:49):
I have a Pilot Metropolitan (love it!) with the squeezie converter. I've used it lots, but this last time, the pen was dripping ink every few days - just a little drip. When I went to clean it, there were drops of ink all over the inside of the barrel. Do you think there's an issue with the converter? or perhaps the ink? user error?

8) Vintage Flex Fountain Pens & Accessories- Facebook (18:42):
When using an older hard rubber eyedropper pen, sometimes there can be a slight leak where the threaded section inserts into the barrel. I have found that coating the threaded section with beeswax works well. Can you recommend a better solution?

9) Ted- Ink Nouveau (19:52):
I carry my fps in my shirt pocket (clipped, tip up) every day, but some times I leave them there without use for hours and they do not start so well--and under a rush need this is inconvenient. Other than the design feature of a Vanishing Point, and other than putting them in a pocket loose and cap down (I lean over a lot and don't want pens falling out), what can you suggest that I do?

10) Angel L.- Ink Nouveau (22:18):
How do I prevent muscle pain when using flex pens like Noodler's Ahab? Is it normal for it to hurt after a while or should I invest in a better, softer flex nib pen?

11) Blue Moon- Ink Nouveau (25:32):
3 Questions for next Q&A - all about the TWSBI.
1. I'm interested in the medium nib. What happened in the last shipment? Everything came but that one.
2. I read on FPGeeks (an October, 2013 article) that TWSBI is fixing the cracking issues - http://fpgeeks.com/2013/10/big... - Is the shipment that you just received (and the medium that I hope you'll soon get) part of the ones that are fixed or are they from the old batch?
3. What's the deal with TWSBI? What I mean by that is that people are crazy about them. If any other brand or model had issues - cracking or scratchy nib, people would avoid them like the plague, but I see comments like, "My TWSBI skips and doesn't have the best ink flow, but I LOVE IT!" and "My TWSBI cracked, but I'm still using it until I get a new one." So, what's the deal?

12) NoFuture NoHope- Ink Nouveau (33:30):
I have one more: How to use the Kaweco squeeze converter. I have a new Kaweco AC Sport Carbon with the converter, but I cannot get it full no matter how many times I squeeze it.

13) ZhanchiMan- Reddit (36:23):
I'm just gonna say right here, this is an excellent medium to get questions from as well as facebook, youtube, google plus, so on and so forth. Here's my question: If I let an ink dry up in a pen, how can I clean the pen to ensure that there isn't any dried ink left? I let mine sit for a couple of months, and though it didn't dry up completely, my pen did have a rough time trying to start writing.

14) songandrew- Reddit (42:09):
Is it normal for pens to write fatter lines the longer you use them? My 4 year old f nib is writing dangerously close to a medium now, and I can't figure out any other reason than use over time.

I, Printer Ink

I didn't like the prices in the stores so I launched an online, printer ink store that shows actual price comparisons.
 
I visited a warehouse not too long ago whose line was of all office products. I had observed an item in particular that was always being stacked by the pallet full, replenished on the floor and then stacked again by the pallet full to be shipped out again. That item is the printer cartridge.

Toner by two brands in particular sold like hotcakes and still do. The few moments I had observing the hustle and bustle of hard-working Americans, it occured to me the value of printer ink. I never thought about printer ink and toner as much as I do now. After my experience in a warehouse of every office necessity one could think of, ink cartridges were in almost every order. Printer ink is important but I never knew the up close and personal importance of it until someone picked my jaw up off the floor.

I decided to offer an online store's worth of ink for printers. Yes, I'm sure you've seen them before. I didn't want to go into business for myself under one company name or be restricted to one brand. I wanted to offer all printer ink brands and allow visitors to my Internet store to compare pricing. I wanted a store where visitors could view discounted costs, retail costs and independent merchant costs. I wanted my visitors to become buyers because they would see firsthand their savings.

To further my research, I visited physical storefronts. Printer cartridges, which I'm sure you already know, are expensive. Very necessary but expensive. I needed to launch my online store soon so people wouldn't have only local retailer prices to contend with. I wanted to offer comparisons on all inks and toners which I now successfully do. I couldn't believe the exorbitant retail costs some of these cartridges went for.

I understand physical storefronts are required to nourish their overhead, supplement their salesforce with adequate advertising and salary their employees. The difference is, some of the retailers I had frequented weren't selling items such as printer ribbons like hotcakes. Maybe gallons of milk but not printer ink.

Consumers are wiser these days. They skip all the media and ad fluff and shop directly online. After the unit cost + sales tax + shipping, they're still ahead of the dollar signs. Oh, yes, shipping. They wait up to 3 days at most because they are locating independent merchants within their state's borders. Is it a downfall having to wait out transit times? Well, an extra day or two isn't costing you anymore money nor will hurt productivity unless you're one of those last minute office managers who chokes their budget until their printer cartridges are drained of all colors. Then I would suggest you go to the store.

Favorite color(s)

You've been asked your favorite color as early as preschool. What is it now? Color psychology in terms of attracting the consumer is very interesting in addition to colors actually altering moods and behaviors. The mixture of various paints also invigorate the eyes and mind producing wonderful creations once applied to canvases. Ink has the same effects because it bares color. How do you like your color(s)?

4-color process and Promotional Products

Yellow, Black, Magenta and Cyan are magicians. They produce images, crisp photography and output works of art via printers in full color. Who needs the full spectrum of a rainbow when the four angels of every printout are at work? Whether someone is screen printing t-shirts, promotional mugs or pens, the 4-color team of geniuses are fail safe in pantone matching and the like. Applying an under base of white before printing on dark garments, silk screening tees is one of the most popular trends in the market. T-shirts and ink go together like milk and cookies.

Learning and working in the ad specialty industry is outstanding, interesting and exciting. There is a new marvel every half hour as a distributor when pairing a client's artwork (logo, etc.) with their choice of promotional item. Oh my goodness. What a thrill.

Visit to an office supplies warehouse

The gentleman observed a haven for ink toners wrapped in clear plastic and by the pallet full. Stacked 3 to 4 pallets high, toner models lined the outer 2 walls as far as the eyes could see, 3 to 4 pallets from the walls. Millions of dollars.

The gentlemen observed where each model's picking location resided throughout the aisles of bin locations. Upon order fulfillment, toners would then be labeled, sorted by delivery location and loaded on the appropriate route vehicle.

Freehand ink

Before AutoCAD and other architectural software there were t-squares, stencils, electric erasers, fine point pens and pencils, handheld dust brooms, ink bottles and pencil sharpeners. Drafting tables were equipped with a variety of technical drawing instruments, implements and paper taped over fluorescent illumination.

Draftsmen were taught to unlearn their crafts for the sake of technology but not to entirely abandon them. Due to software's ever changing upgrades, "draftsmen" are required to constantly learn all over again. It just so happened that ink migrated from the bottle to cartridge.

Ink and ASMR

Combined with the fine motions of a calligraphy pen or tranquil, soft-spoken session describing the contents of ink bottles, Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response demonstrates its calming effects. The unexplained, feel good routines made accessible via YouTube videos utilize the process of ink grinding for example or droplets in water spanning shapes of wondrous color.

Made to enhance one's atmosphere with sensations of relaxation, ASMR in concert with ink techniques are bonded together to form the most wonderful team of peaceful behaviors. Uploads of such feature tutorials embellishing the concepts of vintage (quill) writing, printing, drawing and fountain pen refilling.

Ink on average

On average ink alone costs as much as $5,000.00+ per gallon. Because the human race requires more or less the wet method for printing. The same reason why gasoline is as costly. In both instances there are few alternatives.

Ink is king. Because of its effect on surfaces, it is vibrantly illustrative and alluring to the eye. It fulfills its purposes. Ink is every printer's staple, every pen's mainstay and marker's select juice. It is a necessary purchase that seems to remain recession proof. Employers will budget their need for ink over their employees. It's business.

Warehouses ship and receive billions of dollars worth of ink cartridges and toner daily. Daily. Hewlett Packard (HP) being one of the most popular next to Brother and Lexmark, brands such as Canon and Kodak are still in the running. Printer ink and toner are expenses willing to be risked whereas a meal or two are skipped if need be.
