Where and How to Buy Cheap Ink
The aftermarket for printer ink can be a tricky place to shop.
Third-party cartridges cost less than the manufacturers' brands--which
is why people buy them. But it can be a lot harder to tell whether a
third-party vendor sells high-quality ink products.
One
time-tested method is to shop at an established retailer (online or
brick-and-mortar) that guarantees the quality of its products. There are obvious
examples that include office supply chains, all of which carry
third-party ink cartridges.
But finding third-party ink for your
specific printer model can be a challenge, particularly if your unit is
very new, very old, or not very popular. Before driving around town to
find the right cartridge, do a little homework online. At today's insane
gas prices, you could end up spending $20 on fuel just to save $10 on
an ink cartridge.
