How to Buy Printer Cartridges For a Reasonable Price

<p>Laser printers and inkjet printers have revolutionised how we print text and images from our computers. But what many people in the UK fail to realise is the expense involved when they buy printer cartridges. In some cases, the cost of the toner or inkjet cartridge can exceed the cost of the printer. Here's some information about how to buy printer cartridges at affordable prices.</p><p>Step 1 - Determine Your Printer and Cartridge Make and Model</p><p>Printer cartridges are sold by printer make and model number. This information can be found on the printer itself or in the manual that came with it. Even if you plan to by after market ink cartridges, you're going to need the correct make and model of your printer.</p><p>Step 2 - Decide on the Type of Printer Ink Cartridge to Buy</p><p>The most expensive cartridges are those sold under the printer manufacturer's brand name. These are called OEM (original equipment manufacturer) cartridges. Despite the expense, an OEM cartridge will work correctly in your printer. Another class of toner cartridges and inkjet cartridges is those that are re-manufactured. Re-manufactured cartridges are less expensive than OEMs. A third type of cheap printer ink cartridge is known as "compatible." These cartridges are manufactured by third parties and often carry a third party brand.</p><p>Step 3 - Decide Where to Buy</p><p>If you're not exactly sure what toner cartridge you need, find a bricks-and-mortar store where the staff can assist you. Another way to buy printer ink cartridges is over the Internet. But how do you find a seller you can trust? Many online retailers ask their customers to rate their products, usually on a "5 star" basis, where 5 is the highest. Also, there are independent rating entities like bizrate.co.uk that are very helpful. The super-low prices offered on the Internet are hard to resist. Here's an example. An OEM cartridge for a Canon printer might be priced at about £55.00 while a compatible cartridge might sell for as little as about £13.50 with free shipping. Finally, compare the yields of cheap printer ink cartridges to OEM yields. Be sure that the cheaper cartridge yields about the same number of copies as an OEM. If no yield is specified, be wary.</p><p>If you're adequately armed with the correct information, shopping the Internet to buy printer cartridges in the UK is a great way to save time and money.</p><p>Shawn Lead has been working in the printer and ink industry for over 6 years.
