Printer Ink Basics

Knowing printer ink basics keeps your business printers running smoothly

Understanding printer ink basics makes managing printer related costs easier. Printer ink used in inkjet printers is plentiful and while the costs of buying a printer have gone down steadily the cost of inkjet printer ink quickly adds up over the life of a printer. Computer printer ink, usually in the form of an ink cartridge, is specific to the printer model. Ensuring your business uses the correct printer ink cartridge provides long printer life and quality printing.

Printer ink is available in new and recycled cartridges as well as refill kits. Printers may use a single black and white cartridge or a combination of cartridges in color printers. Color printer ink cartridges can be in an individual cartridge or multiple cartridges that allow individual color replacement as needed. When looking for printer ink suppliers, consider the following:

1. Check page yield to ensure the best price per page when buying OEM printer ink.

2. Keep your business printing earth friendly and use a recycled computer ink cartridge.

3. Save storage space with wholesale printer ink refill kits.

Buy new printer ink cartridges that match the original manufacturer's parts

New OEM printer ink cartridges ensure the highest quality printing and smooth printer operation. New cartridges snap into the printer easily for quick replacement. Page yield is an important specification when choosing printer ink as many lower cost cartridges hold less ink and need replacement sooner.

Ensure professional printing and quality printer ink with refilled cartridges

Printer ink cartridges are capable of being reused multiple times without loss of print quality or damaging the printer. Printer ink refills cost less and keep waste out of the landfills. Look for high quality printer ink refills to maintain the best print quality for all your business printing projects.

Save money and refill your own inkjet printer ink cartridge

Refilling your own ink cartridges has the highest cost savings and saves on storage space. Refilling a printer ink cartridge is fast and easy with a quality refill kit and additional savings are available with bulk printer ink purchases.

• Color printer ink is more expensive and often unnecessary. Change the computer print default setting to black and white to avoid wasteful color copies.
