What's the Best Way to Save Money on Ink and Toner Cartridges
It is well known that OEM ink and toner cartridges are really expensive, using 2-3 times is almost the same price as a printer.
But because ink and toner cartridges are consumables, the cost of long-term use will be much higher than the price of a printer. Many people say that saving ink and toner cartridges is the best way to save printing costs. Therefore, more and more people are looking for ways to save ink and toner cartridges, the current common methods are: buying compatible ink and toner cartridges, refilling ink or refilling toner cartridges and so on.
Compatible ink and toner cartridges
This method is most common, and is easier to operate than the other two ways. But when choosing compatible consumables, in addition to price, there is a very important factor to consider, that is, the brand of the product. You should choose a reliable, well-known, quality and after-sales service are guaranteed compatible brand. What I've learned so far which has a high reputation, good quality, and affordable online compatible brands in the US is the brand of V4ink, Ezink, Linkyo, 4inkjet and so on. Of course, many offline physical stores also sell a variety of compatible brands of ink and toner cartridges, such as Wal-Mart and Cartridge World.
Refill Ink cartridges
Usually, inkjet printers need to replace ink cartridges. The cost of the ink cartridge is cheaper than that of the toner cartridge, but users have come up with a cheaper way to save money by refilling ink.
The method of refilling ink to the cartridge is relatively simple, as long as you find the injection hole of the ink cartridge (usually plugged), take the plug off, use the inking tool to inject ink into the ink bin 2/3 of the position, and then plug the plug on, that's all.
Refill toner cartridges
As mentioned above, the price of toner cartridges is often higher than that of ink. For example, many people use Hp 201X toner cartridge 4 pack color set which costs $77.99 and the Hp 932XL 4 pack color set only costs $25.99. Of course their page yield is different. But in the long run, the price of the cartridge will still be higher.
So more and more people are trying to refill the toner cartridge. But the way of refilling toner cartridge is very complicated. You need to drill a hole in the powder bin and add carbon powder into it. It's worth noting that refilling toner cartridge by yourself has no effect on the printer, but it wears the drum core badly, and the number of sheets printed will be less than the original. If you want to refill toner cartridge, please confirm that you are not care about the printing effect, because the color of the powder will be lighter than the original. So refill toner cartridges is not suitable for every users.
