Compatible Ink Cartridges and Toner Cartridges are They Cost Effective ?

Compatible Ink Cartridges,Toner – are they a Money saver ?

Have you ever walked out of the local store with some expensive ink cartridges? Perhaps you are wondering why on earth the ink cartridges are so costly. In fact, most people spend many times the price of the printer on ink cartridges alone. This is no surprise if you understand how the printer industry works. Due to the competitive price of printers they are generally sold at below cost price with the idea of recouping generous profits by selling their own brand of ink cartridges at highly inflated prices. I am often astounded when I see people at the local shops  paying big dollars for ink cartridges. 

If you had asked me about compatible ink cartridges 5 years ago the answer I would have given would have been NO they are a poor quality alternative.

However with the fierce competition nowadays and the huge advances in technology my opinion has changed 100%.

In the early days of refill kits and compatible ink cartridges there were only a handful of companies that produced generic cartridges. One of the better known ones (which still exists today) is a company called “Calidad”.

I guess that many of us were introduced to the generic alternative ink cartridges and refill kits through Calidad as they dominated the industry years ago.

Times have changed however and Calidad have been left at the post. The modern compatible ink cartridges coming out of China nowadays are far superior in EVERY aspect.

It is interesting to note that sometimes, printer manufacturers attempt to scare consumers into thinking that the warranty may be void if compatible ink cartridges are used. This is a defensive tactic to help protect their market share. Legally speaking, the warranty cannot be voided just because a compatible ink cartridge has been used. That is because, by law, as the owner of the printer, you are pretty much free to do what you want with it.

Compatible Toner cartridges are also great value nowadays and if you run a small business and do considerable printing then you should seriously consider making the change.

I guess as with purchasing any product do your homework first. Read reviews on websites before making a purchase as this certainly helps to give you an indication of other customers ideas.

Happy shopping.
