When the laser printers were first made by Chester Carlson in the year
1938, no one liked these at first. It was only until Xerox Corporation agreed to
have partnership with him that gave way for the release of Xerox printers in the
United States. Johannes Gutenberg has always been the father of modern
printing when he invested on the Gutenberg Press which came first before the
release of Xerox machines. He also started the use of oil based ink which has

been considered to be better than water based inks. This is the ancestor of the
modern inkjet cartridges being used nowadays. Inkjet printers are very
reasonably priced these days. Sure, for a big corporate printer you are shelling
out a pretty penny, but for a simple machine that does the works, you should not
have to spend over $100. That is quite an improvement from just a decade ago.

Printer ink cartridges are recyclable. Especially with the latest recycling
laws in place, it is even easier to recycle your inkjet cartridges than ever before.
You can send them into the Print Country Recycle Program, drop them off at
your local supply store or wait for the waste round-up in your neighborhood.
While laser printers are more expensive, their ink is cheaper than that of an inkjet
printer. However, inkjet printers do not need to warm up before they print. It is all
a balancing act, really. Inkjet cartridges also tend to be more expensive, but the
initial investment is cheaper. Again, it all depends on your needs and what you

Kudos to Anne Kadet over at Smart Money. Her latest article about printer
ink cartridges titled "Why Printer Ink Is So Expensive" is one of the best analysis
we've seen in a long time. Ms. Kadet rightly points out that: average retail price of
a milliliter of ink shot up 360 percent between 1999 and 2007. Meanwhile, a $30
ink cartridge costs just three bucks to make; suppliers could cut prices in half and
still take in a nice profit. Even while printer makers lose about $30 on every $100
printer sale, the typical customer spends more than three times as much on ink
over a three-year period as he did on the printer. Often, the cheapest models
require the most expensive ink. Strange quirk in the law that makes it almost
impossible to compare long-term ink costs. The 1966 Fair Packaging and

It is very surprising that the world's first drink vending machine was
invented by Hero of Alexandria around AD 50, that is, nearly 2000 years ago.
Though the description of the invention has been found in an ancient text of his
called The Pneumatica , the actual invention has yet to be discovered. This idea
was of dispensing some quantity of Holy Water when a coin was placed in a slot
on a machine. The coin dropped on to a pan on a lever and the weight of the coin
moved the lever which opened a crude valve and allowed the Holy Water to flow.
As the lever continued to move, the coin fell off. The lever moved back and the

in terms of the range of items machines offer, as well as how they are operated.

60% of vending machines now found in the workplace. According to Hilder, It's
not so much that you can get a hot drink now that's been the case for years but
the variety on offer is fast increasing. In the past five years, there's been a boom
in larger drink sizes, with 9oz and even 12oz cups becoming the norm. And
rather than rely on instant coffee, some machines are even grinding their own
coffee beans.
According to Hilder, Most new vending machines now are touch screen,

incredible for what can be vended. But until that day arrives, food and drink will
