Inkjet Ink Cartridges

Everyone dreads that time when they have to change their inkjet ink cartridges. You try to put it off as much as you can even when your prints are starting to fade. The main reason is because replacing ink is pricey. Regardless of what model or make laser printer you buy, the ink is going to cost you a small fortune.

Oddly though, printer manufacturers and even popular ones such as Lexmark and HP sell their printers at rather low prices. Yes, it can be quite baffling to spend more money on inkjet ink cartridges than on the printer itself. Surely these companies aren't making any money from selling printers. In all reality, they don't really profit from selling printers, which does sound a little ironic, since you think they would.

Only when replacement ink cartridges are sought after, then companies begin to make money. Printer companies realize that customers will need replacement ink and depend on this for profit. But for users with high print volumes printing can be a major cost. Spending less on ink cartridges can be done in a number of ways. If you have time, you can do a little scouring to find a model which has a lower replacement cost of laser ink cartridges.


A popular option for cutting on printing costs is to use refill kits. People who use printer refills may experience a fifty percent reduction in expenditure. The manual aspect of having to do it yourself is a little off-putting for some people however. Most printer manufacturers don't produce refill kits since they want you to purchase new cartridges. But if they were to produce refill kits, they would likely make little or no profit.

You can however, find ink manufacturers that specialize in producing refill kits for brand named ink cartridges. Once you found the suitable kit for your ink cartridge you can begin to save money. Ink refill stores can do the job of refilling inkjet ink cartridges for you, if you can find one. For a fee, you can send off your cartridges to be refilled and returned.

Not all refill companies provide the same quality of refill kits. It's a good idea to select a reputable company that has been around for a while. A comparable alternative is to buy old inkjet ink cartridges that have been refurbished. This will also save you a substantial cost in printing. The quality of refurbished ink can vary from one manufacturer to another.

A good way to save on brand laser ink is to buy in bulk. When large suppliers buy high volumes from manufacturers they often get a concession. Because of this they can provide consumers with better discounts.

Even if you get through laser ink cartridges at a moderate rate, ordering bulk orders is worth it. Brand name cartridges usually come packaged in sealed bags. So you can keep them for months and even years. Additionally, large companies often do monthly offers to get you even more for your cash.
