Should I Buy Original or Compatible Ink Cartridges in Galway?

For those of us out there who are not sure whether to continue paying premium prices for original brand ink cartridges in Galway or to make the switch to compatibles, a price comparison on some popular printer ink may help to sway the argument.

Get Generic Price Comparison between Original and Compatible Ink Cartridges in Galway

Taking the most popular ink cartridges in Galway as an example, namely HP, Canon, Epson and Brother, we can illustrate a comparison price (for use as a guide only) to buying the original version of the ink cartridges in Galway and buying compatible cartridges online.

Cartridge Original Brand Compatible Brand
HP364XL Black €18.00 13ml ink €12.30 18.6ml ink (50% more ink)
HP364XL Colour €18.00 7ml ink €12.30 14ml ink (100% more ink)
Canon CLI521 €12.00 9ml ink €4.95 10ml (10% more ink)
Brother LC1240 €20.00 12ml ink €4.99 19ml (55% more ink)
Epson T1285 €35.00 16ml ink €12.00 52ml (300% more ink)

The first thing that strikes us is the price difference between the compatible and original cartridge. This is typical of the savings to be had using compatible ink cartridges in Galway. The second is the amount of ink that is carried in the compatible printer inks. The least amount of increase in ink is 10% while the greatest increase is 300%! What we can derive from this information is that not only is it better value to buy compatible ink cartridges in Galway but the ink will last you longer as the in volume has increased over the original brand cartridge. The reason for this is that the ink cartridges, whole the same overall size, are filled to capacity with ink unlike the original brands (with the exception of the original brand XL cartridges).

Many people have their doubts about the compatibility of the compatible ink cartridges with their printer. While there are occasions where the printer will not recognise the cartridge, these are quite rare and the majority of printers will accept the cartridges with no issues. Surely the gain in money saved and extra ink would be reason enough to make the switch and why not pick an online supplier who will offer you a money-back guarantee so you are protected either way. Original brand printer ink in Galway has become expensive and a more economical way of fuelling your printer has to be found if everyone is to carry on printing without worrying about the expense. The ink volume in a typical original brand Galway ink cartridge can be found to be more expensive that champagne or expensive perfume per ml!
