My printer cost me $39 and my replacement cartridge cost me $49. Surely that can’t be right?
Every where you look today retail shops are selling discounted printers at reduced prices, some even as low as $39. With printers at record low prices you would think ink cartridges would fall in price also. Well they haven’t, ink has become one of the worlds most expensive commodities.
This has made consumers angry and annoyed at the price of replacement ink cartridges, which has lead to resentment towards Brand manufactures and rightly so. It has become an increasingly expensive grudge purchase, as much as putting petrol in your.
What has this all lead to? Well consumers are now being tempted by third-party substitutes, which cost considerably less, up to 70% less.
“If you were to buy blood from the Red Cross it would set you back just 40 cents a ml. Where as a HP black ink cartridge costs 71 cents a ml”
No wonder people are turning to the cheaper option.
The printer supplies industry charge low prices for your printer, then hit you with expensive cartridge replacements, they make hefty profits on the sale of cartridges. The manufactures sell consumer printers at cost and even sometimes at loss, they then rely on the sale of ink cartridges and paper to subsidize the relatively low cost printers. Replacing your ink cartridges can cost you as much as buying the printer in the long run.
All these higher costs have given birth to the aftermarket ink and toner business. Third party manufactures have refilled and remanufactured cartridges and developed compatible cartridges at a third of the cost of originals and offered an alternative to higher priced originals.
What are the solutions?
Purchase compatible cartridges and remanufactured cartridges. They are a great way to save money and also help the environment. The prints are of high quality and at a 3rd of the cost of originals, the savings are great. Third party manufactures have also done extensive research to ensure their products are of the highest quality and reliability.

If you print in large volumes consider buying a laser printer. Laser toner cartridges are more expensive initially but print price per page is lower as low as 2 cents per page compared to 15 cents for ink cartridges. Inkjets printer cartridges offer low initial costs with the best photo quality, but higher printing costs in the long run.
For business, monochrome lasers are your best choice for offices, as the cost is the lowest and replacing a toner cartridge involves only purchasing the black toner instead of all 4 colours.
Third option is a continuous-ink system which promises significant cost savings. It is a great solution for mass printing customers, such as designers, graphics works, imaging shops and busy offices. How does it work, its easy. Large bottles sit in a container next to your printer and administer ink continuously via small hoses into special cartridges, the ink flows from external ink tank to ink cartridges .You just purchase bulk ink and just fill the bottles and you then have a continuous supply of ink which is much cheaper.
These are just some cost saving ideas that can help reduce your cost of printing and stop you from pulling your hair out at the thought of replacing your printer cartridges.
