Saving on Printer Ink – A little bit of advice

How Much Is That “Low-Cost” Printer Really Costing You?

You might think you got a great deal on that budget printer from your local retail store, but here’s the truth: that “great deal” often isn’t what it seems. Manufacturers often sell these printers at cost—or even at a loss—to draw you into the Ink and Toner game, where they make the real profit.

UNLESS…

You can find a low-cost third-party alternative. Here’s what to look for in reliable, cost-effective third-party options that will protect your wallet:

1. Guaranteed Quality

Choose a third-party toner manufacturer that fully stands behind their product. Ideally, you want a double guarantee—from both the manufacturer and the reseller. That way, you know you’re covered if something goes wrong.

2. Proven Compatibility

Not all third-party options are created equal, so compatibility can sometimes be an issue. Go with a toner provider that does their homework and has a solid reputation. You want a brand that’s been tried and tested, not just any run-of-the-mill third-party supplier.

3. Don’t Fall for the Hype

You’ve probably heard marketing claims that you must use original toner. Those catchy jingles? They’re paid for by customers who overpaid for their ink and toner. That’s the game—sell overpriced toner, then use those profits to scare you into buying more. Notice you don’t hear catchy jingles for reasonably priced ink and toner? It’s because those companies focus on keeping costs low.

4. Save Money Where It Counts

Printing is already expensive—paper, ink, color, black-and-white, repeat. Look for a supplier that can save you 25% to 50% compared to original ink and toner. Keep your money where it belongs: in your wallet.

So, How Do You Verify All This?

Well, I have good news and bad news. The bad news? I’m about to get a bit promotional here. The good news? This will make things a lot easier for you.

You don’t really need to fact-check—though if you feel compelled, a quick Google search can confirm what I’m saying. We’ve already done the research for you.
