Buying Original HP 940XL Black Officejet Ink Cartridge in Retail Packaging


Having been in the 'copier' and multi function connected devices industry for a VERY long time, I feel uniquely qualified to review this product. I worked for a competing company for over 20 years, and upon leaving the other company I began looking for a device to meet my needs of scanning (to various destinations), copying, printing and very limited faxing (for my home office). I had decided to go with a laser device, but the promises of low output per page and the 'bang for the buck' of this device drew me to it instead. It was a great choice. Great output, acceptable speed (relatively slow scanning), and cost per page - the jury is still out - but that's because I'm still on my first set of cartridges. It appears that their estimates are fairly accurate, though.
The internet based user interface eases setup, and the device's touch screen interface is intuitive and easy to use. Great paper supply - memory card reader - document feeder (although a bit slow).

Sure, it's lightweight plastic, but for the price, what do you expect?

My only gripe? I can't get the scan to network feature to work. I have a house full of Apple computers - normally easy and intuitive to network - but all the support for this device's scan to network seems aimed at PC users. I know it will work, and eventually I'll take the time to get it working, but for now the scan to email and scan to memory device has met my needs, and it works flawlessly.

This is a great deal and, if it lasts more than a couple of years, I'll change that to a 'fantastic' deal.Get more detail about Original HP 940XL Black Officejet Ink Cartridge in Retail Packaging.

Buy Canon 2950B001 CL-221 Ink Tank (Gray)


I was able to disable the ink monitoring system by holding the stop button on my MP980 for about five seconds. I have done this only for the gray and only to print until I get a new cartridge. It appears by my testing that this system is re enabled by installing a new cartridge or removing and reinstalling the old one. This is explained in the online manual that came with the MP980 although it is buried. TimGet more detail about Canon 2950B001 CL-221 Ink Tank (Gray).

Purchase Canon 104 Black Toner Cartridge


I am a working mom and an online student. I have the other major brand name black/white laser printer for about 3 years and its toner cost me fortune. However, this is my first time Canon toner purchase after the sample ran out. I actually shopped around before purchased from Amazon. I got a good bargain and the toner is really easy to install.Get more detail about Canon 104 Black Toner Cartridge.

Shop For Polaroid PoGo Instant Digital Mobile Printer (Black)


When these items came up as Gold Box specials at under $30 each, I snapped several of them up for birthday and Christmas gift giving. Wanting to know what I'd purchased... I also gave one as a gift to myself and did a bit of testing. These are my impressions and photos. (Please check out the photos I've added to this review to see what the item and packaging looks like, as well as the output of the device.)

The Good:
This is a CUTE, little printer! Kids, teens and young adults will love it.

The Polaroid Zink media 30 Pack Photo Paper for Polaroid Pogo Cameras and Printers that is used by the Polaroid PoGo Instant Digital Mobile Printer (Black) comes in one size: 2x3" and loads easily into the device. NOTE: The Zink Smart Sheet (blue) must be loaded with the paper to allow the printer to work. The photos have a peel away back that allows the photos to be easily glued to any applicable surface, making them great for scrapbooking use.

This device does not use ink, thus there are no cartridges to replace, and the photos come out of the printer 'dry', so no need to wait to touch them.

The size of this printer makes it ultra portable. About 4x6" and 1" thick... maybe 2 pounds?


The Bad:
The print quality is 'fair', but not good. Of course the source has something to do with it. Uploaded photos from my camera phone were grainy, but they were also low resolution images. Photos printed from my Canon camera were much sharper, but all suffered from a bit of washout with poor color saturation especially regarding the blue hues. If you remember the instant Polaroid cameras, you'll not be surprised, however you will wish for better. Again, no ink technology may just have this as a limitation, and perhaps the next generation of this type of printer will be better?

The media (photo) size is limited to 2x3". No other sizes are available and none would fit in this printer. The size is akin to your driver's license or a credit card, so don't expect to be framing these photos! The media is also fairly expensive; $10 or so for 30 prints.

Bluetooth connectivity was a bit of a problem. While my Nokia 5300 XpressMusic Black Phone (T-Mobile, Phone Only, No Service) was listed on the Polaroid website as being compatible for the purposes of transferring files via bluetooth, and the Nokia did recognize the Polaroid PoGo after a search and putting in the passcode, I could never print using the bluetooth connection. "No Connection" errors occurred repeatedly, so I had to switch to the usb connection (cord not included) to do a transfer from my phone to the printer.

Battery life is poor. The manual says charge for 2.5 hours prior to use. I charged it for 8 hours and got 8 photos before it stopped producing. I turned the PoGo on and off, and then was able to print 2 more. The printer had some juice left, but not much and I think you'd be lucky to get 12-15 photos printed per charge.

Print speed was not terrible, but slowed as the battery was used up. The first two came out in 35-40 seconds with the final two printing in over a minute each.

Conclusion:
I will give these as 'novelty' gifts to my friends and family, thanking my lucky stars I never bought one at full price when I first saw them a year ago! I have no doubt they'll enjoy them initially, but I doubt very much that most people will find this item has longterm durability or usefulness.

Epson Perfection V500 Photo Scanner


Before I ordered this scanner, I studied the previous reviews; it took quite a while to figure out just how the scanner was being used by other reviewers, and whether it would suit my purpose. Basically, I have 30,000 35-mm slides to be digitized; not many of them are of sufficient quality to warrant use of all the features of thi scanner, and even for those few, I would probably create a high resolution scan and top it off with some Photoshop work. So, fundamentally, I scan all my slides to storage "as is", and worry about image improvement later. The Perfection V500 does this basic job, in professional mode, about twice as fast as my old scanner, and I have confidence that all 30,000 slides will be processed. The best ones can wait a bit.Get more detail about Epson Perfection V500 Photo Scanner.

HP LaserJet P1006 Printer Best Quality


HP has a verifiable history of not supporting its products when a new OS comes out, which is every 3 years or so. I've had 3 HP printers that have been abandoned by HP.

Latest example: I have just purchased a Windows 7 machine and realized that there's no complete driver for an HP Inkjet I purchased in 2007 -- I cannot clean heads, read ink levels, etc. HP response? "HP has no plan to develop the full feature printer driver for this operating system".

Dimple Green Laser Pen Astronomy Grade for Military, Lecturers and Law Enforcement with Double Bonus L.E.D. Flashlight (Black) Buy Now


If you've always wanted a green laser, recent technological advances have made them affordable. This little gem has a hefty, well built feel to it, and puts out a beam that appears to be at least 10 to 20 times brighter than a similar red 5mw laser. The beam is visible cutting thru the air and makes pointing at celestial objects easy and fun. The beam appears to go off into infinity in the night sky. I've observed the dot reflecting off metal at a distance of a half mile in broad daylight. This'll make you want to throw your old red laser away. I've owned this laser for more than a month, with no problem...works like a champ!

This Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy II is absolutely beautiful IMHO. I printed five pictures after I received my new Canon PIXMA MP990 Inkjet Photo AIO Printer today. WOW! The resulting prints are better than anything I have seen from a photo lab in my lifetime.

The colors are vibrant and true to the original picture when used with the PIXMA MP990. I printed a Desktop background from Mac OS X Snow Leopard - a picture of the Earth in space. The blackness of space is what amazed me - black as you can imagine. Impressive! When I get close to running out I will buy more of this excellent photo paper from Canon.

My only complaint so far is that it smears when using a highlighter, but that has happened with all the inks I have used over the years.

Lowest Price Brother TN-115BK High Yield Black Toner Cartridge for Brother HL4040CN,HL4070CDW Series


I just purchased the Brother printer MFC-9840CDW. While searching around for toners, I came up on this review (tip) from another website:

"Toner is OEM and an excellent price. To those who don't understand printer technology:

1. Yes, color toners are used even printing black UNLESS you set on "Mono." You can change properties to color print at will.

2. ALL printers rate pages at 5% coverage or so. If you frequenly print full page color, you will suck toner very fast. Sorry== check the specs before buying any printer. "Get more detail about Brother TN-115BK High Yield Black Toner Cartridge for Brother HL4040CN,HL4070CDW Series.

Save Brother PT-80 P-touch Electronic Labeling System


The labeler works fine and a big benefit is it uses the cheap(er) M tapes. The problem is that batteries need to be at max (by alkaline standards) and, when the alkalines degrade even the slightest amount, the labeler believes the voltage is too low and the unit shuts down. The solution is to use lithium batteries which are 1.7v at full charge instead of alkaline (which are about 1.5v at full charge). Unit works fine with lithium batteries.

Not sure why Brother went to 4 cells on the PT-80, when 6 cells were used in the PT-65. The PT-65 has no problem with using alkaline batteries, even with heavy use.Get more detail about Brother PT-80 P-touch Electronic Labeling System.

Buying Moleskine Ruled Notebook Large


I've been using moleskine notebooks for the past few years. Having kept a journal since 7th grade, I've had my share of good and bad notebooks. Although some may say that moleskines are a bit on the expensive side, I've found them to be comparable in price to other well-made journals/diaries. I wouldn't say, as some have said in their reviews, that this is a composition book replacement. For extensive writing, I'd rather use a full size notebook, not a paperback sized one. This notebook is good for keeping a journal, or even to jot down random creative ideas (although one of the smaller moleskines may be more handy for the latter).

Pros? Durable cover (I've been using this one on/off for a couple years, thrown it in backpacks when I went traveling, in cramped laptop bags, purses, etc. and it still looks the same), good elastic enclosure, back pocket for any stray notes/mementos, decent page marker (mine has begun fraying, but I've put the notebook through a lot), and most importantly, really smooth college ruled paper. I hate writing in journals with wide/huge ruled paper, with lines that don't extend all the way. This notebook is perfect in the sense that you don't have any wasted writing surface, and the lines are so light that they don't detract attention away from the writing. The paper is an off-white cream color, super smooth. I always look forward to writing in it because it just /feels/ different. Pages are normal thickness, but I haven't found any problems with the pen ink bleeding.

My preferred pen of choice, as others have mentioned, is the Pilot Precise V5. I use the extra fine one. You can easily buy an office pack for $15 at Staples, much cheaper than buying the pens singly. I've also tried out Uniball gels, but I found the V5 to be the smoothest. My creative writing instructor also recommended it for extensive writing.

Anyway, you really can't go wrong with this one. It's just a beautifully well constructed notebook, and will make you feel like going back to it again and again to write!Get more detail about Moleskine Ruled Notebook Large.

And while you can go with a generic, certain consumer magazines have shown that generic cartridges and refill kits end up costing you more and giving you less quality than the manufacturer ink. Get more detail about Canon PG-210XL Cartridge (Black).

Texas Instruments BA II Plus Financial Calculator


This calculator is perfect for an MBA student. Compared to a similar HP model, this can also do amortization schedules. This should work for all classes you will ever take unless you go for higher level finance classes. It also has 2 modes - algebriac and RPN, most useful for me who is used to algebriac mode. The number of decimal places can also be adjusted on the fly and is heavy on Stats too. Changing the battery requires you to open the entire bottom case (what were they thinking!). However, you will need to do this once a couple of years. I replaced the battery right away just to see how difficult it would be. Not so bad but you cannot do this in an exam hall. watch for the soldered leads to the battery as well. Display is small and the cover is flimsy but I have thrown it around and still seems to work fine. Overall, works for almost all classes you would take for an MBA.

Epson Stylus NX515 WiFi Color Inkjet All-in-One Printer (C11CA48231) Best Quality


I've used Epson printers for years and have been happy with them. I bought this one (N515) a month ago and am most disappointed. It is the worst ink guzzler I've ever owned. I did a fairly large color photo print job over the week-end and it's cost me over $1 per page in ink. It isn't finished yet because I ran out of magenta and cyan for the third time, after our local stores had closed. It's also extremely noisy. It sounds like it's falling apart when it pulls a new sheet of paper in. I finally put it on a foam pad, which helped a little, but I still hear it far from my office door. The pictures are still the Epson quality I expected, but for the two above reasons, my next printer will not be an Epson.Get more detail about Epson Stylus NX515 WiFi Color Inkjet All-in-One Printer (C11CA48231).

Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500 Instant PDF Sheet-Fed Scanner Right now



The fujitsu s1500 is close to be a very good product except for a few very significant issues --
manual changing of image quality / color module for some (or maybe most) scans lead to reduce image quality (and not better image quality). This is where the scan is more blurry than what it would normally be if the scan was done at auto image quality / color. Additionally, I noticed that one side of the duplex scan is consistently of lesser quality than the other side.

For the person who is not serious about their scanning this may not be a terribly big issue. At least -- this is what Fujitsu customer support/technical assistance ardently asserted when dismissing samples / and detailed correspondence from me regarding this issue. Multiple contacts @ fujitsu claimed implied that most users of the their fujitsu scanner s1500 would not notice or take issue with the lack of image quality of manual scans since most users were not likely to use the more advanced options.

For anyone who would like to duplicate this issue here are the step:


1. obtain a document with fine images or detailed text or spreadsheet (in small font) on both sides

2. first scan document with auto image quality and auto color

3. perform second scan with excellent image quality

4. compare results from first and second scan

For my part, I will try to be doubly sure before I purchase any fujitsu product in the future.

Also -- the rack 4 filer application, which comes with the s1500 scanner combo, is not a very sophisticated application and also seems to be more of a headache than a solution.Get more detail about Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500 Instant PDF Sheet-Fed Scanner.

Lowest Price Original HP 564XL Yellow Ink Cartridge in Retail Packaging


I bought this cartridge for my HP B8550 printer, because it' s only 1/3 the price of the same in Europe. But as expected my printer gave an error message: "incompatible ink cartridge". Obviously HP did some regionalizing in their equipment in order to generate additional income with the customers outside of the USA. Apparently the chip on the cartridge has another identification information. Also the same cartridge is called "HP 364 XL" in Europe instead of "HP 564 XL" in USA. Anyway, I'm pretty satisfied with my HP printer and in the meantime I found a dealer in Switzerland who sells these Cartridges only twice as expensive then in USA, so I'm lucky. The quality of the prints with the original HP ink cartridges is simply fantastic.

Save Canon Selphy CP760 Pink Compact Photo Printer (3255B001)


I have always wanted a photo printer for almost 10 years now. Perhaps its because the earlier photo printers from back in the late 90's did not produce great quality photos, I have always been hesitant about buying one. But ever since I bought a new digicam I have been taking tons of random photos and I have been stocking them all on my computer. I never felt the strong urge to take my photos to a printing center and allow them to view my random silly family photos, so I searched the web for several months to find me a cheap affordable decent quality home photo printer. I bought this printer thinking that the quality would be okay but not so great like the photo centers. boy was I wrong! the quality of these printers are amazing!

Discount Canon LiDE100 Color Image Scanner (2923B002)


I'm not very technically saavy, so don't expect lots of numbers and big words. I bought this scanner to scan old photos, and certain documents. I got in in the mail 4 days after purchase. I took it out of the box, scanned 65 pictures, edited them (basics, of course), and uploaded them to facebook in less than 2 hours!!

1. LOVE that you can put 4 pictures on the bed, and the scanner crops them for you. They don't even have to be straight. Does it for you.

2. The one touch is a little moody. Sometimes needs a couple pushes

3. I haven't really done much with the auto editing, or more advanced editing. I'm sure the pics would come out better if I did. The quality is still pretty good. Not fantastic, but definately clear.

4. each scan of 4 pictures takes about 10 seconds. Very fast, quiet.

I agree with some others that the top is a bit flimsy, but if you're slightly tender when opening it it won't be a problem.

I recommend!!!Get more detail about Canon LiDE100 Color Image Scanner (2923B002).

Cheap Panasonic Dect 6.0 Silver Cordless Phone with Answering Machine (KX-TG1031S)


I was in the market for an answering machine but my desk is kind of cluttered so I didn't have much space. So I was going to buy one of those stand-alone answering devices. You know, one of those things that ONLY records messages, no phones attached or anything. But I kept reading pretty negative reviews for most of them. But I read good reviews for this and it not just an answering machine but also a cordless phone. I figure, that's not a bad deal.

I'm glad I purchased this instead of one of those other devices. The sound quality of the phone is very good, and the footprint (the amount of desk space it takes up) is almost just as small as one of those dedicated answering machines. Using it is pretty simple too. If you have a new message waiting, the big, easy to see and press, play button will flash red. Pretty logical. The sound quality of the recording and playback is very good, I haven't had an issue trying to understand a name or phone number on the message yet.

But the best feature about the answering machine part of this phone is the ability to play back the messages on the actual handset. So you can be downstairs, away from the base, and still listen to your messages. The sound quality of listening to the messages that way is just as good, if not better since you can hold it right up to your ear if you like.

The phone itself works fairly well. Visually, it looks pretty nice. It doesn't have a visible antenna, but the reception is pretty good, although I haven't tried walking down the street with the phone yet to test out what the range of it was. The sound quality is very good, and the speakerphone also works quite well.

The only thing is that the handset, while visually attractive, feels a little weird in the hands at first. But it's not THAT bad and you get used to it pretty quickly, so it's no big deal.

I say if you're looking for an answering device, just get this, and you can expand it later with the stand-alone handsets and chargers so you can replace all of your outdated phones in your house with matching cordless phones if you like. And it's made by Panasonic, a brand you can trust.

Purchase Original HP 920XL Black Officejet Ink Cartridge in Retail Packaging


Purchased about a month ago to replace and HP6100. Althought it is a wireless unit we just pluged it into our router because we have extenders on the network. Works good. The scan software is a little iffy in that sometimes it will just forget what it is suppose to do from the front panel. However its good other than that.

The problem with all of the HP printers is the cost of INK. You know where they make their money. We had a v40 at our place at the beach and we probably printed 20 pages over a year and the cartridge just quit. I later heard that HP has a way of killing it after the system see a year regardless of the amount of ink.

However the 6500 is compact net and for buck and a half its good.

Where To Buy Kensington 33374 Wireless Presenter with Laser Pointer


This model of the presenter with laser pointer is a good improvement over the previous one. I have used both models; this one for over two years now. They are reliable and responsive.

This model uses a AAA battery, making replacement faster, easier, and far cheaper. But more importantly, this battery lasts a LOT longer than the coin battery of the previous model. I have only had to replace the AAA battery once in two years of regular use!

The RF transmitter is powerful enough to work from 20 or 30 feet away from the computer...though at the longer distances it might take an extra keypress to get a response at times. So I might have shaved off a half-star from this rating if that were possible. Indeed this presenter could use a bit more transmission power, and there is room in the case to move to a 9V battery (if that were needed to achieve it). Of course I don't know if the FCC would allow that!

In any case, it works beautifully with Mac and PC laptops, useable without installing drivers. So it is easy to use and extremely reliable. I really appreciate that the receiver stores into the transmitter between uses so that this small part is not lost, and putting it into the compartment cuts off the battery to extend its life.

This unit fits comfortably in the hand and works really well with PowerPoint (all versions). Other members of our department have the Targus unit and it does NOT work on Mac laptops. The Kensington unit is truly cross-platform compatible! Very nicely done! Inexpensive. Highly recommended.Get more detail about Kensington 33374 Wireless Presenter with Laser Pointer.
