    Wireless portable printers allow you to wirelessly print pictures, documents, contracts, timetables on the go from a variety of sources. With a wireless portable printer you can print out the files and images you need from: USB sticks, phones, cameras and laptops – all without the hassle of cords and wires. Simply turn on the blue tooth, and get printing!

    These devices come in all shapes and sizes, but tend to be small, low maintenance, effective printing machines. Almost all of these modern inkjet printers print in surprisingly high resolution, quickly and easily. Not only this, but the prices of these printers are quite low, many ranging from just a few hundred pounds. They can be slipped into a laptop bag for printing practically anywhere.

    Portable wireless inkjet printers are a compact and lightweight option for use with laptops, as well as other devices. They run on batteries; some can even charge their battery off a car’s cigarette lighter.

    I for one think that these wireless portable printers will revolutionise how printing is. A few decades ago people thought that laptops were a ridiculous concept. Who really needed a computer that much on the go? Yet here we are where most families own a laptop, if not two. Wireless portable printers will go the same way, maybe not yet at their current level of technology. But what happens when they are are more practical, able to print as many sheets as ordinary printers, have a very long battery life, and more importantly are able to print on the go?

    Printer has been a modern staple for many decades, as has been computing. However in the last decade a transformation has taken place allowing computing to be done on the go. Meaning the laptop was born – allowing people to work, read, watch videos and listen to music wherever they went.

    Yet this transformation didn’t happen to printers.

    Until now.

    Desktop PCs have been transformed into highly powerful and intelligent laptops, only a decade later has this revolution in electronics caught up to the printing world.

    But in what form? How come I’ve never heard of them?

    Three words – Wireless Portable Printers. These highly sophisticated and advanced – yet remarkably cheap devics have taken printing to the next level. But what exactly are wireless portable printers?

    HP9000s Head Replacement

    Although we have found this printer to produce a good quality print and to have been reliable, there is a question mark over the longevity of the printheads and also the high cost of replacing them. You will find, in this article, my experiences dealing with these issues and I hope you will find some inspiration for dealing with your own problems.

    If you own or operate one of these printers you will be aware of the cost of replacement of the printheads and may also be aware of the relatively short life-span reported by a number of owners. Hopefully, if you read on, you will find the confidence to attempt the replacement yourself and save up to £400 per head in doing so.

    When routinely printing the IQ test print to confirm that the quality of print from each head was acceptable, we noticed that the L Magenta swatch had a scratchy appearance. We were advised that this was an indication of a head that was wearing out and that it would need replacing soon. Read more…
