Shopping for Printer Ink Cartridges Online

So you’re ready to stock up on printer ink cartridge supplies?! You should be aware that some retailers have been exposed as charging three times more than their rivals for exactly the same brand of cartridge! Free delivery is often possible, but there can be all sorts of hidden costs. The best value retailer one month will not necessarily be the cheapest a month later. Bear in mind also that high-capacity (or XL) cartridges may be more expensive than standard capacity cartridges (in terms of the initial retail cost) but they churn out more prints in total, meaning they are typically cheaper in the long term. For the most part shopping around for good value ink cartridges is simple, especially if you’re doing the job online. HP, Dell, Canon, Lexmark and Brother are all reputable manufacturers and you won’t go wrong with any of them. There are, however, a few details you would do well to bear in mind when making your choice: 1. Look into purchasing ‘remanufactured’ cartridges. These “recycled” items are dismantled and all the component parts carefully assessed, including the drum, corona wire, roller and blades. Any part that is damaged or substandard is swapped for a fully working replacement. The cartridge is then cleaned well before new ink and printer heads are put in place; the ensemble is then pieced back together. Stocked in many cheap ink cartridges stores, remanufactured items are lower cost mainly due to the fact that only the ink is brand new. These cartridges are an environmentally friendly choice since practically all of the product parts are reusable. The majority of remanufactured cartridge suppliers are dependable and provide quality toner that is equal to or superior to OEM quality. This sort of cartridge can be remanufactured perhaps a dozen times. 2. Expect to shell out more for colour inkjet cartridges. Okay, you’ve found a decent discount ink cartridges store, with good write-ups. Unfortunately you can still expect to pay roughly a third more for colour ink than you would for black ink; black ink cartridge contains one ink reservoir for one colour ink. By contrast, colour ink cartridges feature three separate reservoirs; one for blue, yellow and magenta. Why not opt to save cash, and ink, by investing in a printer that contains separate cartridges for each colour? 3. Make significant savings by purchasing inkjet cartridges in bulk. Websites like ABCink and Carrot Ink provide bargain discounted deals to individuals, corporate, military and educational clients, on orders totalling above $200. A number of other discount ink cartridges stores most likely sell bundles of cartridges at heavily discounted prices. Do your homework! 4. Contrast printer manufacturer cartridges to their generic equivalent. You just need to be aware of what you’re leaving the store with (or having delivered to your doorstep, of course). Typically manufacturers’ cartridges use slightly higher quality ink, but it’s very difficult to tell the difference most of the time. The trade-off here is reduced prices. If you choose to go ahead and purchase a brand name inkjet cartridge, the online discount ink cartridges stores will provide the most attractive bargains. 5. Refilling ink cartridges isn’t a universally attractive choice. Sure, it can save you some cash, but not everybody has the time, ability or inclination to carry out this task personally. If you have the time to spend, and follow directions carefully, it’s a fairly straightforward job. A few select discount ink cartridges stores, like The Printer Ink Warehouse, give extensive refilling tips on their website. When all is said and done, it’s generally cheaper to get photographs printed at a high-street or online retailer, than to print them en masse on the home printer. Online photo processors often ask for less than 20 cents for each 6 x 4-inch photograph they print for you – with further savings possible if you purchase pre-paid credits. However, remember there are also postage costs involved here.

CheapInkCartridgeStore.com Website is Now Live

The website for CheapInkCartridgeStore.com is now up and online.

As you can see, the site is still under construction. The domain now resolves and the hosting works but there is little content, especially not a built-out ecommerce ink store. These are just the very early stages of development. Soon there will be content on buying ink cartridges online with a full-fledged store, where visitors will be able to find the best seals on ink refills for their printer models.

The Cheap Ink Cartridge Store is Under Construction

This will be the official blog of my new site, The Cheap Ink Cartridge Store. This will be an online store that specializes in finding the best deals on discount printer ink cartridges and ink refills for home office computer printers.

Right now, cheapinkcartridgestore.com is under construction and coming soon. I will update this blog when the site is live and will use this format in the future to highlight any special sales or news updates.
