Where do I find a cheap ink cartridge?

Finding the right inkjet cartridge shouldn’t be too hard of a problem. Most printer retailers and cartridge stores provide you with huge libraries so you can get all the required information. Finding the right and cheap ink cartridge may however be a bit of a pickle.

Nobody wants to end up with a really cheap printer but having to spend lots of money on ink. Everybody needs to be very aware of the fact that companies will make advantage of this. They come up with very cheap printers knowing that they can get a lot of money back off the ink. Those printers might not have compatible cartridges, so you’ll end up buying full sets of new cartridges instead of replacing them 1 at a time. Another possibility is that the printers might require you to have ink in every slot. So you can’t just make black and white prints when you’re out of yellow ink. Don’t let this happen to you and do your research before buying!

I want to end this blog with a last tip on how you can save out on ink. Most printers have an option to change the print quality. Depending on the documents you are going to print, you might want to turn the quality down a notch. You can end up saving yourself a lot of ink and therefore a lot of money that you don’t have to invest.

Best printers for home use

One of the most common questions we get in our business: “What would be considered the best printers for home use?”  Everything comes down to your own preferences. However, few things need to be thought-through. First you will have to decide your main printing goals. Will you be printing a few photos or are you planning on making thousands of prints? Or do you prefer more versatility coming from a multi-function printer? Next you can start thinking about the budget you are willing to spend.

In the first case you are probably looking for an inkjet printer. Although this isn’t set in stone anymore, inkjet printers have a better reputation regarding photos. This is because of the printing process. Producers of inkjet printers are already incorporating software to ease printing out photos. This software often contains memory card readers and PictBridge, for an easy connection between a printer and a digital camera.

users. The HP Deskjet 2540 all-in-one has built in wireless technologies. Making it possible for the user to connect with a pc, phone or tablet.

Secondly there are laser printers, those have excellent features regarding monochrome prints and lean more towards office environments. Fast, spotless and more economic printouts are qualities which most companies will be looking for. Nonetheless, this doesn’t mean a laser printer won’t be any good for home usage. If you aren’t planning on making a lot of color photos then this might be what you’re looking for. Toners for laser printers yield higher quantities of prints and therefore will be more cost efficient than inkjet cartridges. Definitely keep this in mind when purchasing a printer.
