Portable Laptop Table available in the Philippines

Early this year we bought a portable laptop table from cdrking that cost for only Php580 (approximately $14) and we thought that it would be very useful to us but after a few months it was broken. The design of the portable laptop is ok but the materials used which is the aluminium is not that durable compared to wooden portable tables that we saw from other stores.

If you are going to use the cdrking portable laptop table, you need to balance and adjust the laptop display because it will not stand right and your laptop may slip easily from the table. It is also not advisable to use on bed because the legs of the portable laptop table are not sturdy which only needs a flat surface so it can stand right.

The photo shown above is the other portable laptop table that we would like to purchase. It is made up of solid pine wood and can be used in an office, car, on a sofa, chair, bed, or while sitting on the floor. It cost Php1, 150 (approximately $28) which has a higher value compared to cdrking portable laptop table. We decided to purchase the cdrking portable laptop table because the store is two rides away from our place and has many store branches but digiking has only one branch located at Robinson's Pioneer in Mandaluyong that is three rides away from our place.

There are many additional designs for portable laptop tables available in the market today but I would suggest that you should not only look after the design or cheaper value cost; you should also consider the quality, durability and the flexibility of the product.

My experience in Continuous Ink Supply System in Epson C90 printer

My wife and I bought an Epson Stylus C90 with Durabrite Ink last year 2008 which we used for our digital printing business in our computer shop. We decided to convert it to CISS because the ink is much cheaper and with these system it can print as many photos and documents compared to the regular cartridge.

We were able to have the CISS installed at a store near to our place in Monumento, Caloocan City and the charge is cheaper compared to the other shops. The warranty of the printer when converted to CISS will automatically be void because of the installation but the one who installed the CISS will give you a service warranty for one or three months depending on their policy.

I can say that my computer shop earned a lot from the digital photo printing almost everyday there are customers for the photo printing. The Epson Stylus C90 printer with CISS works fine in a few months but I have noticed that the quality of prints in the photo paper has some ink blots at the back or sides. I found out that there is a formation of waste inks inside the printer so I cleaned it with a cloth but still the printing quality displayed ink blots on the photo paper back and sides. The printer later on malfunctions that we have to repeatedly clean and arrange the CISS that was attached to it.

After that year we close our computer shop business and the Epson C90 with CISS printer was stock in the house. Even we tried to clean and repeatedly arrange the CISS,  the printer won't work. My wife even tried to open the mechanical parts, clean it and also installed a printer resetter for that model but it did not work. We research and we found out that the one who installed the CISS did not create a waste tank on the printer that is why there is a formation of inks that were stock inside the printer resulting to have some blots in the photo paper.

Currently the printer is still not working but we already plan to bring it to a different printer store which is InkNovation. According to their repair center, there is a diagnostic fee of Php200 when the computer is not fix but the repair fee of Php600 if it is fix. This will be our last option before we put the printer to junk. The Inknovation pritner repair services contact number is 4372697 with office address at 714 EDSA, Brgy. Rodriguez, Cubao, Quezon City (North Bound beside Uratex).

I will post my update here for the status of the repair if it is successful.

What is the printer brand and model that you use good for CISS? Please share it here thanks.

My first blog post

This is my first blog post. I created this blog for my interest about computer and internet in the new generation. I will share my experiences about computer and internet that could be helpful and useful to others.

Nowadays, blog communities are getting larger and I found blogs are useful if you are looking for a certain updated search especially reviews on different items, stores, boutiques, travel, restaurants and a lot more. Aside from computers and internet, this blog is also a place for some blog contest that are really cool and awesome.

See you on my next post!
