Ink Cartridges - Should You Buy Refills?
by Frank Robson
Ink cartridges are something that must be purchased
frequently and can be quite expensive. There can be big
savings in buying refills rather than new cartridges.
Before deciding to go with a refill rather than a new
cartridge, there are some factors that you may want to
consider.
Printers are quite specific as to the type of ink that must
be used for the printer to function property. Refills that
say they can be used for all types of printers may not be
trustworthy.
You need to be sure to get a refill that is specifically
compatible with your brand and model of printer, to get the
best results.
Also you want to factor in what you are getting for your
money. You want to be aware of how many refills you are
actually getting in a kit.
A well-matched ink is not the only thing that has to be
considered. Cartridges do not function well forever. If
you continue to refill them after a while they will begin to
perform poorly. After a few refills the cartridges need to
be replaced.
Most refill kits come with enough ink for filling a
cartridge more than one time. So when you have to replace
your cartridge you can hold on to your remaining refill ink
and when your new cartridge runs out you will be ready to
refill it. You may also be able to save by buying
refurbished cartridges.
Refill kits usually have a longer shelf life than
cartridges do, often as much as 2 years. If you don't do
enough printing in that time to use up the refill, it may
not be the best option since you'll probably end up wasting
part of it anyway.
The refill process is not an easy one unless you have
special tools. There are places that specialize in
refilling cartridges and have the needed tools to make the
process easy. If you are going to do it yourself remember
it can be messy so you can't rush or be careless.
Ink stains everything so you want it only in the cartridge
and not all over everything else. Read the directions
carefully and follow them exactly to avoid making a mess
that will be impossible to clean up.
Check the website of the company you bought the kit from
and see if they have any special tips or even a video
showing how the process works.
Give yourself plenty of time on your first attempt to
refill a cartridge. It is a learning process and you don't
want to be in a hurry. If you have to get something out
right away you don't want to be worrying about refilling
your cartridge. Set aside some time to learn to do it
correctly. - 15668
