Laser Ink Cartridges
Everyone dreads that time when they have to change their printer laser ink cartridges.
Naturally, when the time comes you try to extend its use until your printing is illegible.
The main reason is because replacing ink cartridges is pricey.
Regardless of what model or make laser printer you buy, the ink is going to cost you a small fortune.
You might be amazed to find that the actual price of printers is a lot less than you expected, even for big names such as Canon and Brother.
In some cases, you could actually be spending less on the printer than on laser ink cartridges.
Surely these companies aren't making any money from selling printers.
The truth is they're probably not and in some cases they might even make a loss.
Only when replacement ink cartridges are sought after, then companies begin to make money.
Printer companies realize that customers will need replacement ink and depend on this for profit.
But for users with high print volumes printing can be a major cost.
There are however, a number of alternatives to cut down the cost of printing.
Taking a little time to research different brands, models and ink cartridges may reveal which combination of ink and printer is the cheapest in the long term.
Growing in popularity is the use of printer refills for their inexpensiveness.
Using printer refill kits can save you more than 50% on printing costs.
The only downsides are that you have to refill the cartridges yourself and it can be a little messy.
Big name printer brands don't manufacturer their own ink refill kits for obvious reasons.

All you have to do is find a compatible refill kit and you're ready to start refilling.
Refilling ink cartridges doesn't really require any expertise but if you don't want the hassle then you could always take it to an ink refilling shop.

The savings made are almost equivalent to buying refill kits.
