My House of Ink

Printer ink information and reviews
April 7, 2010

Anyone who uses inkjet printers regularly knows the cartridge replacements cost a fortune. Granted, the ink and the plastic used to make the cartridges are extremely cheap, but somehow I have to spend a hundred bucks every time I print a few hundred pages. Obviously, this adds up.

I think that the printer ink manufacturers justify the high prices by claiming that it is meant to support the R&D that went into the product. Since the process of developing new technologies costs a fortune, they need to recoup that money through overblown prices on products that cost next to nothing to make. Whatever the justification, I simply can’t afford to continue paying absurd prices for these things, which is why I was so glad when I found an online outlet with affordable Brother ink cartridges.
