User experience buying ink cartridges
In order to use ink cartridges you first have to be clear about two very important things:
- What models does your printer use?
- What is the recommended selling price to avoid overpaying, because the price can vary depending on each store.
Once you know this, you will have to go to the store to buy the cartridges you need. If that store does not have units available, you will have to look for another store, and you will have to compare prices if you want to save some money. You will waste a lot of time with all this, and you’ll have to pay a lot of money for each cartridge, even if you only need to print a little right now.
When printing with the cartridges you have purchased, you must control the ink consumption, because The ink used is what will determine your printing costs.A cartridge can print a specific number of pages, but if you print full pages, in color and/or at high quality, its printing capacity will be reduced much more quickly.
This will cause the ink cartridges to run out sooner, and you will have to buy new units sooner than expected, with the expense that this entails. The price may vary depending on the printer and the cartridges, but a pack of color and black and white cartridges can reach 100 euros.
While you are using the cartridges you will have to keep an eye on the ink levels, and before they run out you will have to go to the store to buy more if you don’t want them to run out. You could also order them online, but You may be charged shipping costs or that they do not have units available at that time. To recycle used cartridges you will have no choice but to take them to the store or to a recycling point.
