The printer is a piece of very important office equipment. Its use in printing documents or photocopying is very essential especially in an office or school setting. Among the many printers that you are going to find in most offices are the inkjet printers. Inkjet printers are the most common printers and use inkjet technology in developing good prints.

An inkjet printer is useless without its most useful component, the ink cartridge. The cartridge is a small device that lets out the ink needed in the printing exercise.

To look deeper, we are going to check one of the most common cartridges, the canon inkjet cartridges. A cartridge from the named supplier has the ink chamber which contains the ink that is going to be released when printing to give out impressions on the piece of paper. The cartridge also has some metal components for the conduction of electricity in triggering the release of the ink.

In the ink chamber is a tiny metal plate on a heating element that conducts the electric current. Other cartridges have another chamber that has a sponge that absorbs ink from the ink chamber and releases the ink to the cartridge nozzle onto the paper. Other canon inkjet cartridges come with a microchip attached to them for compatibility to computer software when connected.
