These days shopping for ink is often far more important and costly than shopping for the printer itself. It is not uncommon for consumers to purchase a low cost personal printer only to discover that the new ink cartridges it needs cost almost as much as the printer itself did, and only last for a month or two at best. In fact the chances are good that you have experienced this conundrum yourself already.
The trick to shopping for ink without spending a fortune in the process lies in arming yourself with knowledge about the range of products that your printer can use and then spending the time to find the lowest price they are sold for. Most printers these days are able to handle three types of cartridges, namely the cartridges from the original equipment manufacturer, generic cartridges manufactured by another company, and refilled or refurbished cartridges that are either done professionally or by the consumer themselves. However each printer has been designed to try and thwart using any ink other than cartridges sold by the original equipment manufacturer, so finding the right alternative can be tricky. There are a number of guides and reviews that you can read to help you through this process.
