What is the best way to save money on printer ink cartridges?

Printer ink cartridges are such a rip-off! $25-$30 each or more for the name brands.. Do the ink refiller places do a good job? How about the recycled ones or the cheap ones you can get on Amazon and other places on the Net?


Do they work, or are they poor quality? Are they worth it?What is the best way to save money on printer ink cartridges?
Never buy refilled or remanufactured cartridges. Yes they will work often but the one time they dont and kill your printer you will have lost more than you saved. Every day there are several messages here from someone who refilled and now their printer doesnt work. This is not a coincidence. Refills are not even cheaper. I get brand new cartridges for my Epsons from http://ccs-digital.com for under $3. They hold 50% more ink than standard cartridges and are guaranteed.





As for buying cheap cartridges on ebay, I have done this from time to time when CCS was out of stock and the cartridges had a money back guarantee. Most of the time they worked. A few times they didnt and the ';guarantee'; was gone or the seller was or it cost more to return than it was worth. For the past few years I have stayed with CCS and been extremely happy. I just make sure to order in enough time not to run out.What is the best way to save money on printer ink cartridges?
Printer ink cartridges are expensive. That's how the printer manufacturers make there money.





You can save lots of money by going with compatible and remanufactured ink rather than OEMs. I get most of my ink cartridges for under $5 at yourinkcenter.com, but you can get it elsewhere like 123inkjets.com. The quality of the ink is pretty good. I have no complaints. yourinkcenter.com offers you a 180 money-back guarantee, so if you are not happy with the quality, you can always send it back for a refund. Been using compatible and remanufactured ink for over 5 years now.





I wouldn't bother with refill kits though. Too messy and quality not so great. Just get compatibles and remanufactured ink.
All I have ever used with my printers is either compatible (generic) and remanufactured ink cartridges. I have never had a problem with the print quality, though it's definitely not unheard of to get a defect. I would definitely recommend giving compatibles or remanufactured cartridges a try -- with one GIANT caveat though - be sure that the place where you buy them has an excellent return and customer satisfaction policy. If you'd like more info on the different cartridge options here is a pretty good article:
