5 Ideas That Will Make You Think About Printers

By Ronald Bradham


Since the recent economic downturn, people have learned the importance of saving money at every chance they get. For many people, cutting back on energy consumption and waste, or clipping coupons just to save a few dollars or cents can actually make a big difference. Especially for businesses or people that do a lot of heavy duty printing, small things like saving on paper and ink cartridges always makes a significant impact. Though others may try to convince you otherwise, it really only takes a couple basic steps to save a considerable amount of money on your ink cartridges.

The key to saving money on ink cartridges is longevity, maximizing the usage you get from each cartridge. At the onset, it is better to purchase higher quality ink cartridges than cheap brands. The reason for this is that they are more reliable, the print quality is usually better, and they tend to last longer. In addition, their construction is often more solid, meaning they are more likely to hold up should you refill them and use them multiple times.

It is also possible to save a good amount of money on ink cartridges by buying them in bulk. This method allows you to save more on each cartridge by buying many of them at one time. Besides saving money on the cartridges themselves, money is not lost in either transportation to or extra delivery charges from the office supply store, and productivity is not interrupted. Furthermore, you will probably go long stretches without having to buy new cartridges if you buy higher quality, longer lasting ink cartridges in bulk.

Again, the basic concept beneath saving money on ink cartridges is to extend the life of each cartridge. Refilling your ink cartridges with one of the many tools and devices on the market is one of the best ways of prolonging their use. Refilling good quality ink cartridges that last long and are better made might stretch the amount of time between new cartridge purchases even more. If you already buy your ink cartridges in bulk, you could refill all of them or even rotate between new and refilled cartridges.

When considering these approaches, it is important you be aware that most ink cartridges are not really designed for multiple uses. So, although they can work very well through many uses, you should always be mindful of any weakness or damage to your reused ink cartridges. It may also be a good idea to look at your ink cartridge choices in regard to your particular printers and copiers, so you can find the most optimal combination to maximize usage. Take as much time as productivity allows and do as much research as you need to save as much money on ink cartridges as you can.
