Best Value Ink Cartridges or Refills for Heavy Office and Home Usage

With the upward trend in businesses in Dublin, the need to find low cost ink cartridges has increased in recent months.

Searching for the best value ink cartridges can be an exercise not everyone wants to undertake as it might give the impression of a time consuming affair that may only end up saving you a couple of Euros in the end.

Find the best value ink cartridges or refills in dublin and save money
The fact of the matter is that saving money on your ink cartridges is a very worthwhile exercise guaranteed to save you money. The first decision to make is whether to go for refilled or compatible cartridges. There are only a few types of ink cartridges in town that will be able to be refilled. These are the type with built in print heads and are usually manufactured by HP, Lexmark and Canon. Brother and Epson, who have a large share of the printer market decided long ago to integrate the print in the printers therefore supposedly making the cartridge cheaper as they didn't house a print head. So if you have a Epson or Brother printer that uses the system with the print head then compatible ink cartridges is the way to go. The compatible ink are up to 40% cheaper than the original brand but even cheaper if you go online and get some real savings – as much as up to 70%.

For those of you with Lexmark, HP, Samsung or Dell printers then the ink cartridge with the integrated print head means that you will be paying a premium price for your ink. However, there are still two options open to you other than buying an original brand cartridge. Option number one is to have the cartridges refilled in a high street shop and that's fine for refilling for one or two occasions but beyond that it's unlikely that the cartridge will work and the ink volume will almost certainly not be recognised. The second option is to purchase remanufactured printer ink in Dublin, this is an ink cartridge that was previously used as an original brand cartridge but has been recycled by a third party (not the original brand manufacturer). These cartridges are cleaned, refilled, had their 'chips' reset and tested in the factory. They are then repackaged as new and sold for approximately 30% of the cost of the original brand.

These cartridges are refilled and checked to a high standard and rarely give problems unless it is the recognition of the ink volume. Most of us can live with the ink volume showing either zero or low providing that the cartridge carries on producing prints for us. In Dublin, the price of original brand ink cartridge is the same as anywhere else in Ireland and more and more people are making the switch to compatibles and remanufactured printer ink.
