Printer Ink Levels may be Low

     Im sure most of you have been to your local office supplies store and purchased ink only to come to the conclusion "should I buy a new printer with the money I will be spending on all new inks for my machine?"   That annoying reminder that is displayed when your ink levels may be low when in fact there not, its is only to make you think your out of ink(and nobody want to be out of ink).   Well let me tell you something that is a programed message that 75% of the time is false.  I have a HP photosmart and I refill my own cartridges and I still get that message all the time.  I know how much is costs to buy new 60XL black and 60XL tri-color cartridges, it totals to about the same price I paid for my machine!  
      Just knowing how to refill my own printers ink has saved me not only hundreds of dollars but I have been able to refill friends and family at the same time.   Of course me being the business minded individual that I am, I have started my own company and I'm able to sell my Ink brand on Ebay for a crazy low price and capitalize on this big market for printer technology all while saving you money! 


     It is just crazy knowing that it's a monopoly with these huge companies such as HP, Canon, Dell, Epson, Lexmark who control this market and how people arrive to the store and don't even know what cartridge there machine uses because there is so many freggn varieties of options.  Each printer used different cartridges even thought there all the same inks
     When you pay retail there are a lot of factors that are included in the price, you are paying a percentage for the building lease, electric bill, payroll and many other expenses that are associated to the mark up.   The definition of "retail" means the sale of goods to ultimate consumers, usually in small quantities opposed to wholesale.  
     One thing I recommend to everyone when looking into investing in a new printer for your home or small business is to check how much the replacement ink costs and if your ink tanks are refillable.   Most printers come with starter cartridges that have about 50% less ink of a regular ink cartridge but they can be refilled as well.  Most of the time sales reps at retail store will up-sell and encourage you to buy additional ink.  Also if you buy your new printer at a retail store more than likely if the sales rep is a good salesman or woman they will make you feel like you need to buy a Extended Warranty.   Most of time it is not necessary but it could protect your investment if kids or a lot of people will be using the machine.  The bottom line is you have to do research and if you want a good deal you have to be willing you hunt for one even if mean walk away from a no good deal!
