February 7, 2006 (Press Release) --
One important fact: you do have to be careful: badly-made cartridges can result in poor-quality text and printer damage. However, a good recommendation to a reputable firm could save you a lot of money. Another option is refillable ink cartridges. Some people swear by them, but I would be cautious -- the possibility for leaks is, in my opinion, not worth the risk.
Go Mono: If you don't use color a lot, think about getting a black-only laser printer. The cost is initially a lot higher -- for example, a toner cartridge for the Brother HL-5140 laser costs $71, considerably more than the $25 for an Epson Stylus C84 inkjet. But when you factor in the number of pages you get per cartridge, the Epson costs about 5 cents per page, while the Brother ends of costing about 2 cents per page. (The cost of the laser printer drum only adds .007 cents to each page.)
Buy In Bulk : If you tend to do a lot of printing, then you might want to look into buying your ink cartridges in quantity. You can get some good deals if you buy a lot at once.
Before You Buy, Check The Yield: As with any product, it is always a good idea to do some research before you actually buy. One of the things you should be checking is the ink cartridge yield.
What is that? That is the number of pages that a typical ink or toner cartridge may be expected to produce. Most manufacturers estimate their yields based on coverage of about 4 or 5 percent -- in other words, about 4 or 5 percent of the printed page will actually have ink on it. So an ink cartridge that has a yield of 450 based on 5 percent coverage should be expected to print out about 450 pages assuming that each page has about 5 percent of its surface covered by the ink.
This means, of course, that if you tend to print pages that have a great deal of text on them, or that use images, or that use a great deal of bold lettering -- your results will vary greatly.
For example, take a typical inkjet printer like the Epson Stylus C84, which costs under $100. An Epson black ink cartridge that yields (according to the manufacturer) about 450 pages runs about $25. The same printer uses four color ink cartridges, each of which cost about $15 for a yield of about 420 pages. (Keep in mind that you color ink coverage, especially if you're printing photographs, is probably going to be much higher than the 5 percent that the 420-page figure is based on.)
