Shopping Tips with Printer Cartridges

By Jenny Morrison

There's no question that printer ink is incredibly expensive. Those who manage to save a bundle in this area usually save themselves a lot of money. Here are some tips for you to try.

Printer inks are actually sold everywhere, including grocery stores and pharmacies. Check everywhere if you decided that you rather buy the brand name product, because some stores will obviously have the lowest price.

You can always buy directly from the manufacturer that made your printer but expect to pay full price. You can always go to an office supply store which will be a little bit cheaper.

Online is always nice but go with the stores that offer free shipping or you might be in for a surprise, as they can be a big portion of the cost. The taxes are also a good portion of the overall cost so note that as well.

Online stores will send out coupons and promotional codes for discounts at their store. Wait for those if you ever want to buy online or you are giving the retailer too much of your money.

When a store wants to put on a sale, printers might be cheaper than buying just the ink. If you want to save, look for these deals and just install the new printer.

Third party inks may fade more quickly but unless you are printing photos of your children, there's really no need to get the best quality ink available on the market.

Many people use two separate printers. One is used exclusively for documents, while the other is for photographs. Inks for photographs, even if you buy a third-party product, are more expensive.

I don't recommend those printer ink refill bottles because most people spill some when they try to refill and it becomes a very messy process. Do what works for you.

Always look for low prices, but keep convenience and quality in mind. - 29864
