We just released a new series of Epson inkjet cartridges, the 125 series. This series is made up for 4 individual cartridges (black, cyan, magenta, yellow) and is used in both Epson Stylus and WorkForce printers.

This series of cartridges features Epson’s DURABrite Ultra Ink, which offers superior image quality and smudge, water and fade resistance. They are also great for double sided printing because DURABrite inks do not bleed through paper. Finally, Epson has invested some new technology in these cartridges. They each feature SmartValve Cartridge Technology with MicroPiezo ink level sensors. These features are refined version of previous technology that releases the ink from the cartridge on to your paper. Better ink release means better prints!

The cartridge numbers for this series are:

Epson T125120 Black Ink Cartridge – $16.79/each

Epson T125220 Cyan Ink Cartridge – $12.49/each

Epson T125320 Magenta Ink Cartridge – $12.49/each

Epson T125420 Yellow Ink Cartridge – $12.49/each

These cartridges work with:

Epson Stylus NX125

I’m talking about HP folks! We all know them as the “400 pound Gorilla” in the printer and printer ink cartridge world. Well, now they are the 2 billion pound gorilla of the e-waste recycling gorilla.

HP set a goal of recycling 2 billion pounds of its electronic products and supplies, and guess what, they achieved it. As part of the goal, HP also wants to reuse 450 million of those pounds by the end of 2010. HP has introduced their DeskJet D2545 printer, which is made almost entirely from recycled plastic material (83% of the printer’s plastic is recycled). This printer uses the HP 60 ink cartridges, which are molded from recycled plastic resins.  As if HP had not reached new recycling heights with just these to steps, they also replaced some of their PC packaging with a reusable bag made from 100% recycled materials.

Way to go HP!

Let me know what you think about HP’s environmentally conscious changes. Thanks!
