Buying Printer Ink - They're Bleeding Us Dry!

Bleeding Our Money On Printer Ink

The chart below lists some of the popular inkjet cartridges and their average prices.  This chart highlights the average cost of these cartridges per each year, based on a conservative purchase of only one cartridge per month.

So what do the printer ink producing companies suck from us every year?

With the wide spread use of digital cameras, smart phones with digital cameras, sophisticated fun  all-in-one printers bundled with cameras and so on,  the demand for printing photos at home keeps rising. Yet, for most people this means a huge cost, if they let their kids or themselves print out whatever they like or need to print.

With a one time cost of $199.00, can even do 4 payment plan, the Free Ink for Life Refill Membership offers you a lifetime of free ink to refill your inkjet cartridges.  There is no other ink company on the market today that's willing to offer their customers an unlimited supply of dye-based, pigmented and photo inks.  After a few refills, the kit pays for itself.  Plus, you have an endless supply of ink for free.  Your ink is always in stock and available to ship.

However, for some people or those using high-end large format printers or if you have demanding photographic or business needs, ink refill systems are not an option. If cost of OEM or compatible ink toners is not an issue and you get it deducted as business expenses, then you should go for the best and stick with original ink toners, which you can find here at best prices.
