If you have a printer at home, you will agree with me that the cost of replenishing inks are far more superior that the cost of the printer itself in the long run. An average life spend of a printer is about 2 years and if you are a heavy user, you might want to consider getting re-manufactured inks which can work out just as good as original inks.
Below are three reasons why you should choose re-manufactured inks instead of Original Equipment Ink (OEM):
1) Cost. The price of a re-manufactured ink is roughly 70% cheaper than an OEM cartridge. If you are primarily using your printer for your photography hobby, it may not be a good idea to use re-manufactured inks as they might not bring out the best quality print that you are expecting. However, if you are merely printing stuff for personal usage, then you should consider getting re-manufactured inks and start saving hundreds of dollars per year.
2) For the earth. Have you ever wonder what happens to the empty original cartridges? Some are being disposed off but most of them are being donated, exchanged or sold to ink re-manufacturer. By doing this, you not only get to play a part in going green and saving the earth, ink- buyers get to save huge on their orders. This is also the reason why re-manufactured inks are so much cheaper than OEM cartridges because of the reduced costs in producing them.
3) Promotion. Although this leads us to the first point, selling re-manufactured inks is a tough business and companies are fighting a long battle just for your business. Companies like SimplyInk offers irresistible discounts to lure you over and buy inks directly from them instead of their competitors. And what’s the end results? Cheaper Inks and happy customers!
Not every online printer ink store is equal. Do look out for shady companies that only care about making profits off you by offering you inks at cut-throat prices. If it is too good to be true, then it probably is. Never buy inks from new sites that look like a twelves year-old kid can throw up in a day. Stick with companies that have been around for years or even decades is your safer choice.
If you have not tried running these inks on your printer yet, try it and you will love it. You won’t believe that the differences between re-manufactured inks and OEM are so small that it is almost hardly noticeable for a photographer.
