Printer Cartridges

When you need to replace your ink in your Computer printer, it is worth shopping around, to see what your real options are.

Consider the cost of replacing with the original manufacturers ink, or with a compatible ink. Sometimes it is even worth upgrading your printer completely, as some printer specials may be cheaper than buying the new ink.

One example recently was the HP Colour Laser Printer CP1215.

• This printer with toner is available for $250.00 (as at 3 Dec 10)
• The replacement toner cartridges are $266.95 (as at 3 Dec 10) *

So the question becomes, save money and buy a new printer, or pay extra and use a printer where the drum may now be producing lower quality prints ?
