Saving on cost of inks and cartridges
There was a news report about a woman filing a lawsuit against a
certain HP printer manufacturer because she said that the inks
are programmed to expire on a certain date, whether the
cartridges are empty or not. HP representative counters that the
reason is because the inks are degrading over time and thus
causes the expiration.
It is possible that the manufacturer of these inks are actually
using some expertise to keep the profits up. With modern tools,
who knows what these people are capable of? If these things are
all true, saving costs on inks can be a challenge for the people
especially those who do not have any knowledge about what profit
makers are doing to their advantage.
How do they save ink and ink costs?
People who brought printers tend to buy the ink cartridges from
the same manufacturers of these printers also. There are lots of
independent sellers having selling the same kind of cartridges
that works as well. Cheaper too. It does not make any difference
where you buy the cartridges from as long as it works the same
way and saves you more money.
Poorly made cartridges can result in poor quality prints and can
even damage your printers. Checking about the ones you will use
by asking the opinions of the experts would do the trick.
Another option is the use of refillable inks. They can be a lot
cheaper but also has the tendency for leaks as a downside. Fort
hose who does not want to take the risk and regretting it in the
end, the best way is to be careful and use highly recommended
cartridges.
Sticking to black ink. Print in color when it is absolutely
necessary, but if not, just use black ink. As you may already
know, colored inks are much more expensive and some printing
does not exactly require using them. For example, when printing
something from the internet, do you have to use colors?
Buy in bulks. If a lot of printing is require and expected, you
may want to try and buy inks in quantity. A lot of great deals
are given for those who are buying more at once than those who
buy a little every once in awhile.
Check the yield. Knowing the capacity of the cartridges you will
be using is being prepared and ready beforehand. This will save
you the trouble of being unprepared when the time for the inks
to expire comes.
Printer inks can surely take a lot of money out of your pocket
if you do not know some means of conserving them and making the
most of what you have. The thing is, printers, inks and
cartridges will really have problems in time. What you are doing
is just prolonging what is expected. Better than nothing at all.
