From PC World: Hewlett-Packard is bringing significant advances to its laser printers so more prints and savings can be squeezed out of a single cartridge.
The company has developed an all-new cartridge based on a refined chemical formula that will make frequent replacing of cartridges less of a headache. The new cartridges will first go into entry-level LaserJets being announced Tuesday by HP, and then later this year into advanced multifunction printers.
Cartridges in HP’s laser printers have particles that are melted and then infused on paper. The new cartridge—also called HP Toner cartridge with JetIntelligence—has a new chemical composition in which particles require less heat to melt. That could save energy and yield more prints per cartridge.
HP estimates that the new cartridges could print 58 percent more color pages and 28 percent more black-and-white prints compared to current cartridge technology, said Troy Browne, marketing manager for HP’s LaserJet business.
The larger printer yield is also due to better efficiency in melting particles. The new cartridges give HP the flexibility to make laser printers smaller or offer increased printing capacity from cartridges the same size.
