Best Printer to Buy

2008-10-01T11:39:00.000-07:00

If you are like 99% of the population that uses your printer for normal office use and personal use (like printing a small amount of photos), there is no need to buy a top of the line printer. Today most printers are reasonable in price… where they make their money is on INK. (Please read how to buy ink in this blog).

Let me make it simple. The branded printers to look at are: Hewlett Packard, Epson, Canon, Brother, and Dell. I highly recommend all of these. Be aware that HP and Dell can only use recycled cartridges and may be a bit more expensive. However, all the brands listed above are good.

Can ink cartridges be recycled?

2008-09-17T11:54:00.000-07:00

Great for the environment and good for your pocketbook. Many if not most of the ink cartridges you buy can be recycled. I’ve listed two links below of companies that specialize in purchasing used ink cartridges. Though both also sell refill kits I suggest you still purchase remanufactured or compatible cartridges for best results. In addition, many office supply retailers will purchase empty ink cartridges by offering discounts or trade-ins. If you do plan to recycle, take empty inkjet cartridges from the printer immediately, put them in a plastic bag with a small scrap of wet paper towel and recycle as soon as possible.

Before you buy your Printer- PLEASE READ

2008-09-11T11:46:00.001-07:00

Yes, this blog is all about ink and I will not recommend printers or where to buy printers. However, this is important.. Most printers are very inexpensive today; some will say that they are downright cheap---Why? Because printer manufactures want you to buy the printer and then become dependent on them for replacement ink cartridges. Hence my number one rule- DO NOT BUY BRANDED INK CARTRIDGES. Do your homework and make sure the printer you purchase will accept both compatible and remanufactured ink cartridges. Go to any site listed on this blog, look up the printer you want to buy, and check to make sure that you have ink cartridge options.
One great place to check out for printers (and later ink) is

Refilling Cartridges- Does, this make sense?

2008-09-11T11:44:00.000-07:00

There are savings in refilling your own cartridges; however, I believe it is still better to purchase remanufactured or compatible cartridges. Here are my reasons.

1.No matter how you do it (even if you are an expert re-filler) refilling cartridges can be a mess and a hassle for little savings

2.Cartridges can really only be refilled several times... remember it is the software (the printhead) that needs to always work.. sooner more than later you will need a new printhead.

3.The recycling application is great because you are using the same cartridge--- you can always send you cartridge back to any of the companies listed or donate them to your school or charity for recycling and order remanufactured or compatible cartridges.

Will using a remanufactured or compatible cartridge void my Printer Warranty

2008-09-11T11:42:00.000-07:00

Let me be very clear---- NO--- I repeat NO--- The FTC (Federal Trade Commission) has ruled that manufactures (all manufactures not just inkjet printer manufactures) must honor warranties even if the consumer uses aftermarket parts. Again, buy remanufactured or compatible cartridges with the security that you will NOT violate your warranty

Remanufactured Cartridges

2008-09-10T18:46:00.000-07:00

These types of cartridges are rebuilt from empty cartridges of the original OEM (Original Equipment Manufacture). Buying from a reputable company like 4inkjets.com with a 100% satisfaction guarantee will put your mind at ease. I highly recommend buying remanufactured cartridges for the following reasons.

1. A huge savings in cost – Up to a 75% savings
2. This is the original equipment and your printer will recognize it immediately
3. Good for the environment - what is better than recycling?
4. If the process is done correctly, the remanufactured cartridges have the ability to meet or exceed OEM specifications.

Compatible Cartridges

2008-09-10T18:44:00.000-07:00

These types of cartridges are specially manufactured to meet OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) specifications. All of these types of cartridges are manufactured with brand new components and are a cost effective alternative to expensive brand name cartridges. Trust me when I say that you will be happier with your compatible cartridge over the OEM … I have noticed that the compatible cartridges always print more than the original OEM.. Could it be that the manufacture never fills the cartridge completely with ink? Hmmm would that really surprise you?

Where to Buy Ink and Toner

2008-09-10T14:24:00.000-07:00

A blog about where to buy Ink and toner… the first question is probably WHY?

Well, frankly, it is long overdue and there are tons of questions that need to be answered.

1. Can I only use the name brand ink for my printer?
2. Does it make sense to buy ink refills and inject it into the cartridge?
3. I hear that the unbranded ink can ruin your printer... is that true?
4. Where should I buy Ink?
5. Is the best place to buy ink at the big office supply stores?
6. Can ink cartridges be recycled?

Moreover, this is just the beginning! Not only will I attempt to answer these questions but I will list the key sites that sell ink and any promotions that come up from time to time.
