Wholesale Printer Ink Cartridges

View:

If you are a frequent printer user, every month you propably spend a considerable amount of money on printer cartridges, whether you have an inkjet printer that uses printer ink cartridges or a laser printer that uses toner cartridges. These printer cartridge costs can add up to huge amounts especially on the long run. If you want to save on ink cartridge costs, you need to first figure out how much you are actually spending on your printer cartridges each month. If you believe it's time to take action and start saving on printer cartridges, you should first calculate how much printing really costs you each month. Calculating the monthly cost of printer ink or toner cartridges you spend is easy. I strongly recommend you to do the same calculation before you purchase a new printer too.

"Cost of ownership" per month is one of the most important factors to consider when buying a new

printer as you will regularly need to purchase printerink or toner cartridges for your laser or inkjet printer. This is especially importantif you have an inkjet printer. Generally, inkjet printers' cost per page is higher than laser printers' cost per page. The reason for this is that the ink cartridges need more frequent replacement. The cost per page will generally be lower with the expensive high end laser printers beacuse they hold bigger printer cartridges that do not require as often replacement. Inexpensive printers can end up costing you more because of their high ink cartridge costs.

You can simply calculate the printing cost per page by dividing the printer cartridge price by the yield. Yield is the number of pages that one printer cartridge can

print. For example, if the price of an Canon ink cartridge is $33.95 and its yield is 700 pages, then its cost per page will be $33.95/700=$0.048 (4.8 cents per page).

For calculating the monthly cost of ownership, the rule is easy. Multiply "number of prints per month? with the ?cost of the toner or ink cartridge? and divide it by ?the yield of the toner or ink cartridge?.

For example, let's assume that you print 300 black pages per month using an Epson printer cartridge that yields 400 pages and costs $26. The monthly "cost of ownership" is:(400 pages) x ($26) divided by 300 pages = $35

If you want to lower your cost per page, consider different cartridge alternatives like the recycled reman or compatible discount ink cartridges or ink refill kits.

Ink cartridges are little square boxes full of ink that go inside your printer that put colors on paper. There are four main colors in ink jet cartridges: magenta (red), yellow, cyan (light blue), and black. These four colors, by mixing together (actually, by printing tiny dots of different color very close to each other, thus creating the illusion of mixing colors) produce millions of different colors.

When you run out of ink in your printer you have a few options to get more ink. One option, which is the easiest, is to go to the store and look for your ink cartridge. But that can also be overwhelming too because there are so many different ink cartridges and it might take forever to find the right one for your printer.

But one good thing is that you may be able to find a generic ink cartridge which can be much cheaper than the name brand, but works just the same as the name brand ink cartridges.

Another option is that you can go to the store and buy the ink refill kit. This process can be very time consuming and very messy, but can save you a lot of money in the long run. The kit comes with all of the colors to refill your cartridge, syringes to inject the ink into each cartridge, and instructions on how to do it. After the first few times you will probably be able to refill your ink cartridges in no time.

Another way to replace ink in your empty ink cartridge is to get them refilled by a professional. There are some stores that will refill your ink cartridges for a fraction of the price of a new cartridge.

But refilling cartridges isn't without its problems. Putting new ink in your old cartridges doesn't work with every model. This is because some of the new ink cartridges have little micro chips in them that tell the computer when it is out of ink. At that point, the computer won't use that cartridge anymore, even if you refill it.

But all is not lost. Off brand manufacturers are able to build compatible ink cartridges with a new chip that will tell your computer that you have a new cartridge that is full and ready to print on demand.

Whichever path you choose, by avoiding the brand-name replacements you stand to save plenty of money when it comes to keeping your printer running.
