PRINT IT!
Inkjet printers are fairly cheap these days, but you can still spend a small fortune on replacement ink cartridges if you print lots of photos and documents. Branded ink from Canon, Epson, HP, and other major printer makers can cost as much as $30 per cartridge. But you can spend much less by purchasing remanufactured or compatible ink cartridges from a reputable online retailer like these top sites for cheap printer ink from Cheapism.com.
Remanufactured ink cartridges are recycled name-brand cartridges that have been cleaned, refilled, and tested, while compatible ink cartridges are made by third-party producers to fit popular printers. Although there aren't many professional reviews of cheap printer ink online, there are plenty of consumer reviews. Mostly, consumers say third-party inks are just as good as their name-brand counterparts, but there are a few drawbacks. Sometimes, cheap replacement ink cartridges leak, clog printer heads, or simply don't work, reviewers say, and some colors (especially yellow and magenta) may not be very rich or saturated. Be sure to buy from a retailer with a return/exchange warranty of at least a year to minimize your chance of being disappointed with your purchase.
