If you've ever bought inkjet printer cartridges, whether for
your own business or your employer, you know how expensive they
can be. It doesn't really matter what industry your business is
in, you've probably got reams of reports, announcements,
invoices and other paperwork that you have to print regularly.
 
The end result of this constant stream of printing is that you
have to replace the ink in one or more of your printers on an
ongoing basis. This can send your monthly office supplies
expenses through the roof, particularly if you buy your ink
cartridges from your local office supply store. If you do a lot
of printing, you can save quite a bit of money by ordering your
ink online instead.
 
Online ink retailers generally save you money in 2 ways. First,
the ""branded"" ink from your printer manufacturer is usually less
expensive. Online merchants don't have the same overhead as a
traditional ""bricks and mortar"" store, and they pass that
savings on to you in lower prices. They're counting on the fact
that they'll make up the difference in volume.
 
The other way you can save on your printing costs is by using
remanufactured ink cartridges. As you would expect, these are
recycled cartridges that are sold under a generic name.
 
These ink cartridges are recycled versions of the original ink
that have been thoroughly cleaned and tested to be sure they
will continue to work properly. They are refilled with ink that
meets the original manufacturer's standards.
 
This remanufacturing has not always worked well, but it has
come a long way in the last several years with most users
reporting results as good or better than the original ink.
 
And according to an article from USA Today, these
remanufactured cartridges can sell for up to 85 percent less
money than their original brands. This adds up to a lot of
money over the course of several months or years.
 
Printer ink will always be necessary for any office, in spite
of the computer industry's promise of a ""paperless"" office. If
you can save some money on these cartridges, that will go
directly to your bottom line.
