Printer Ink
Are you still going to Staples or Office Depot and spending $20 a cartridge when your printer runs out? I am here to tell you to STOP IT (sorry about the caps, but this is one area where you can save a LOT of money).
Let’s take the Epson R300 for example (It’s a normal photo printer):
At Staples
- Black: $18.99
- Cyan: $14.19
- Magenta: $14.19
- Yellow: $14.19
- Light Cyan: $14.19
- Light Magenta: $14.19
- Total for all 6: $89.94
To me, that is just ridiculous.
Now, where I buy my ink the costs are:
- Total for all 6: $23.95! That’s a savings of: $65.99
How do I do it? I just don’t buy brand name ink cartridges. I never got into the whole refill thing because it was too messy but buying OEM ink cartridges are simple. I just buy in bulk and swap out when I need a new cartridge. Some of my friends say “Those don’t last as long” - well even if they only last half as long I still will save over $40.
I have personally bought ink from: 4inkjets.com and abcink.com. Just check between the two to see who has the best price for your printer and get ready to save.
Make sure you select the right model.
