4 Practical Tips: Supplies

By Ronald Bradham


These days we all need to save money whenever we can. Very often, doing things like clipping coupons and cutting back on waste or energy consumption will save a dollar here and some cents there, which can make a huge difference for many people. Especially for businesses or people that do a lot of heavy duty printing, small things like saving on paper and ink cartridges always makes a significant impact. Though others may try to convince you otherwise, it really only takes a couple basic steps to save a considerable amount of money on your ink cartridges.

When it comes to saving money on ink cartridges, the idea is to basically maximize and extend the use out of each cartridge. Firstly, it is usually better to purchase higher quality ink cartridges at the onset, though this may cost a bit more upfront. They are usually more reliable and tend to last longer, besides the fact that their print quality is often much better. If you decide to refill and use them multiple times, higher quality ink cartridges will also be more likely to hold up longer, being constructed more solidly.

It is also possible to save a good amount of money on ink cartridges by buying them in bulk. This method allows you to save more on each cartridge by buying many of them at one time. Besides saving money on the cartridges themselves, money is not lost in either transportation to or extra delivery charges from the office supply store, and productivity is not interrupted. Furthermore, you will probably go long stretches without having to buy new cartridges if you buy higher quality, longer lasting ink cartridges in bulk.

Again, the basic concept beneath saving money on ink cartridges is to extend the life of each cartridge. One of the best ways to do this is to refill your ink cartridges using one of the many tools and devices that are now available. You will probably get even more refills and longer uses when you refill better quality ink cartridges. If you already buy your ink cartridges in bulk, you could refill all of them or even rotate between new and refilled cartridges.

It is important to remember that most ink cartridges are designed for single uses, not to be refilled or remanufactured. So, even as they will function perfectly well for a long time through many uses, it is always best to just be mindful that possible weaknesses or other issues with the reused cartridge could arise. It may also be a good idea to look at your ink cartridge choices in regard to your particular printers and copiers, so you can find the most optimal combination to maximize usage. You will give yourself a better shot at saving money on ink cartridges, and many other similarly small things, by taking the time to research as much as possible.
