Cut Printing Costs By 50%

Refilled Printer Ink Cartridges - The Logical Choice

The part of the Inkjet Printer that provides the actual ink and must be refilled is the "inkjet cartridge". In most cases this cartridge also contains the electronic printer head as part of the unit.

Every inkjet cartridge is made up from one or more individual color ink reservoirs and some producers also insert electronic contacts and a chip that provides information to the printer.

It's important to know how much ink is in the cartridge before you start printing because low ink levels mean trouble. Minimal ink will often cause ink drying on the printheads and create blotchy prints. Adequate ink volume assures sufficient ink flow for the highest quality prints.

If you do have dried ink on an inkjet cartridge, it is important to clean it off gently with a soft rag or cotton swab dampened with isopropyl alcohol.

New, original manufacturer's replacement inkjet cartridges are quite pricey so as consumers sought ways to save an entire industry was formed to serve just that need.

The main printer manufacturing companies like Hewlett Packard, Lexmark, Dell, Canon, Epson and Brother have a strategy of little or no profit from the printer sale so they can make ongoing profits from the back end sale of inkjet cartridges from uninformed consumers.

They must recover these losses and make a profit by selling very costly cartridges over the life span of the printer. Because companies producing aftermarket ink cartridges take away much of their profit, major printer manufacturers have taken action against them. Some manufacturers even took legal action.

Good news is they lost that battle; bad news is they won't stop trying to force the outcome in other ways.

Many printer owners choose have their cartridges refilled or buy remanufactured cartridges from third parties over buying new cartridges.

Hundreds of millions of perfectly good cartridges were being dumped at landfills every year before these refills became possible. Now, consumers are saving significant amounts of money while they're saving the environment.

Printer ink cartridge refilling is now a multi-billion dollar industry and like any other there are some good companies and some duds. It is important to be sure refilled or remanufactured cartridges are from a high quality source or there could be printer damage (unlikely) or more likely just low quality prints.

Doing it right requires training and experience and substantial technological backup. So, be sure your source has those qualifications.

Never settle for less than a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee!

For general information Brother, Canon, Dell, HP, and Lexmark cartridges can be refilled although a chip re-set may be necessary.

You CAN have it all. You can do all the printing you want - get high quality prints and photos - while being ecologically prudent, and best of all, save big money. Happy Printing!
