Inkjet Refills

Writen by Richard Romando

Inkjet printers are the printers that dominate the consumer market. Although contrary to popular belief, inkjet printers are not successors of the dot matrix printers. Thermal printers are used for specialized printing in industries similar to those previously serviced by the dot matrix. You can purchase an inexpensive inkjet printer that gives you fast and high-quality printouts. You can even purchase ones that can print out photos with realistic-looking colors at reasonable prices.

A marketing strategy used by inkjet manufacturers: printers are sold at a very affordable price, but in order to maintain the quality of the printouts, you are required to purchase specific kinds of ink. These inks are usually very expensive.

There used to be no alternatives to such products. You were stuck buying these inks at high prices. Nowadays, you can purchase ink refills instead. Ink refills are not manufactured by the same companies that produced your printer or the ink that comes with it. They come at a very low price compared to the original inks. Inks refills usually come in remanufactured or recycled ink cartridges. You can purchase do-it-yourself refill kits or ink cartridges that have already been refilled. You can save up to 80 percent off the price of original inks if you opt to use ink refills.

The problem is that once manufacturers discover that you have used alternative ink over the original one that is recommended for your printer, the warranty of your equipment is automatically void.

In using ink refills, there is also a very high chance of ink bleeding, which can ruin the printer heads of your printer, making it defective. Even without this happening, manufacturers may still be able to detect if ink refills have been used on your equipment. Newer printers are now equipped with features that can detect the authenticity of the ink that you use.

Some consumer are willing to take the risk of using ink refills because of the substantial savings they can get from such products.
