Why Buy a Refurbished Ink Cartridge?
An increasing number of printer users have turned to refurbished ink cartridges, despite discouragement from printer manufacturers. These are the advantages of buying refurbished print cartridges.
-
Cost
-
On average, a person will pay 30 percent less for a refurbished print cartridge versus a new one from the printer manufacturer.
Environment
-
Refurbished cartridges help to keep used print cartridges from being thrown into landfills. It is estimated that over 300 million ink cartridges are dumped into North American landfills every year.
-
Capacity
-
Refurbished ink cartridges often can print more pages than new cartridges, which translates into fewer cartridges a consumer needs to buy.
Choice
-
Oftentimes if consumers are looking for a unique color option (such as metallic gold) for printing, their only choice may be to go with a refurbished cartridge.
Quality
-
Some refurbished print cartridges claim to produce better quality prints than cartridges produced by printer manufacturers. These cartridges can produce higher resolution photos and higher density (darker) text.
