Canon ink cartridges

Replacing ink cartridges can often cost more than the printer did in the first place. Whether you’re replacing Canon ink cartridges, Epson, or Brother, here are a few tips to make your dollar last longer.

• Buy your ink online, at Web sites such as Discount Ink Cartridges. Even though some sites may charge shipping costs, you will still be avoiding the markup at your neighborhood big box store.
• Look for refurbished ink. These are recycled ink cartridges that have been refilled with new ink, and cost less than a brand new cartridge does.
• Purchase a refill kit. You can fill up those old cartridges at home, and most kits have enough for about eight to 10 refills.

    Generally we have had most success with cartridges that come without the printer head on the cartridges. Cartridges such as HP are harder to fill, or rather harder to fill correctly. They require that you have suction and give a tight seal since the print head is on the cartridges. Others, such as canon and epson, are very easy to fill and have a better success rate if you refill them yourself, or if you purchase remanufactred cartridges.
