The secret to saving on Printer Ink

By: Mo Bradley

The printer ink activity today is much bigger than somebody realizes and the competition to draw revenue from it is fierce. The big three, Epson, HP and Brother will do everything to maintain their cash cow and will say anything to frighten the general public into buying their overpriced product. Did you know that printer ink in cartridge form sells for $5000 a gallon. If one gallon of ink is used to fill ink cartridges and then offered to the public at the prices charged by the big three then, yes that is the sales from a gallon of printer ink. The disgrace here is that printer ink is a rather inexpensive item and need not be used to exploit the public to such a scale.

Some people refer to printer ink as Copy ink, others call it ink replacements and others just ink cartridges. The fact is that you can now get very high quality substitute products called generics or compatibles. I must tell both sides if the story so everyone can learn first hand what the dissimilarity is between original and generic printer ink. Despite the fact that original and generic printer ink both do the same thing, there is a vast disparity in the selling price of the product.

The difference in price is so remarkable and I want to take on this subject with as much enlightenment as I can. It’s going to take some time before the public totally realizes that they are being ripped off by the big 3 and even more time to realize that there is no difference between original and generic ink. Clearly it is not easy just to write a review and hope that the original brand users would simply change their ways.

I must confess that I was also at one time a sufferer of printer ink robbery. Without thinking about it, whenever I needed more printer ink I just would go to the stationery store and get some more. One day they were out of stock of the cartridge model I needed. I went home and really out of hopelessness I decided to try some generic printer from an internet supplier. They promised delivery in a few days and true to their word it arrived pretty quickly at my entrance way a few days later. I was rather anxious because the brand I received was one that I did not know and it looked rather plain to me after being used to the showy OEM boxes. However, very quickly after fitting them I was amazed at the quality of colors as well as the black. I found no streaking on the paper. My entire print was sharp, bright, clear and of unfailing quality. I pretty much knew that from that minute on I would be using generic printer ink. No more original brands for me, even though I thought originals were the sole types to use.

Over time I have tried various online suppliers, compared quality and price and delivery time. I want to share my experiences with all. I have gained trust in generic ink and soon found a worthy inexpensive online supplier whose merchandise was not only reliable but also tremendously affordable. Some of the generics I had tried over time were not perfectly up to standard. Some, intermittently had dry streaks, and some other cartridges the ink registered as half full. As long as you have a dependable supplier you can each time tell them about any such cases and they will just send you a replacement in the mail.

Price wise, I am now saving a lot of money. Now days, I only buy printer ink on the internet and never squander my gas and my time going to the store anymore. At my favorite online supplier, my generic brand ink is continuously available. I am never disappointed or nervous that they may not have my printer brand in supply.
There has been no increase in the price over the last 2 years, even though costs are continually soaring all around us on other items. Prices have remained steady for which I am very grateful. Often it is worth while to take record of “Specials”. If you buy over $50.00 worth of ink, you get free delivery. With no delivery charge I do save $4.95 each time and that means a lot to me. I love that!

One other thing I think you should contemplate when deciding on an online supplier, is do they have good before and after sales service. You should be able to get hold of a representative who gives truthful, straight forward guidance for any questions you may have. Maybe you have a question right now, like “should I try searching for an online supplier of cheap generic ink?” If you check my resource box below you may get a hint of the guys that I use.
