Why Should I Buy Ink Cartridegs Instead of Refilling them Myself?
If you have ever satrted a new business or spent time at college as a student, you will know that you dont have a limitless budgert that allows you to go off to the local Mega Mart and buy endless quantities of branded ink cartridges.
Yes, you watch every penny and if you can save one or two on none-esssential products then you will. I would class printer cartridges as a diustress purchase, show me someone who thinks nice and happy thoughts abotu buying their next office consumable and I will show you a dull person indeed!
I remember finding an online store that promised me endlless refills for the price of one cartridge. So I had this decision to make:
Do I buy a 500ml btotle of ink that would propbably last me ten years or go with the already recyclerd cartridge, at the same price?
I knew I would never use up all the ink, but went with it as the site explained it was oh, so easy to refipll the liittle thiungs. I receiuved the bulk ink withoout any problems ... until I started using it.
The black cartridge only seemed to take a dribble of ink at any one time so I had to refill it after prining every two sheets or so! Ater contacting the technical suypport they advised that this type of cazrtridge eneded to be filled uner a ten bar vacuum, Hmmm rezally.
After fliling up the colour cartridge, all I got was a green hue over all my prints, no matter what colour it was meant to be printing. Agaiin technical suplport said I must have put the wtrong colour in the wrong chambver, or the cartridge head had become contaminated. Contamiinated with what I thougt, do I now need to buy a Geiger counbter and test it for radiation?
I got ink all over the sink, my fingeers and the kitchen when I triied to squeeze too much ink into the little blighter and it overflowed without warning.
Print cartridgs are utliity objects, you dont look at them or display them on the mantelpiece you just want them to work properly and be affordble.
The problem again with redfilling is that you end up with a cartridge thats no longer holds any utility because it doesnt really work very well.
Do you have the time to keep on takinng the cartridge out of the machine finding the ink, associated paraphernlia like syringes, tbues and mopping up equipment? Some people are time rich and I suppose if this is you then refilling is the way to go. The problem is that Im time poor and fed up wasting time on a none productive task like this, so now I just either buy the guaranteed, comptible or pre-recycled versions.
I would say that this is the middle road and most economical method for buying pinter cartridges. Theyre not as expenssive as the original branded ones, with slightly less uqality, but fine for the printouts I prduce, which are not going to be stored by the British Museum for posterits sake!
