How to Buy Low Cost Ink for a Photo Printer

Today, we take pictures with our digital cameras and print them almost immediately. The only real complaint that most people have is the high cost of photo printer ink. There are low cost ink alternatives for your photo printer if you know where to find them.

Instructions

1. Buy a photo printer that uses individual ink tanks. Canon and Epson both offer a low cost photo printer that uses the individual tanks. You only need to replace what you use and you do not throw away any unused ink because one color has run out.

2. Purchase ink refill kits for your photo printer. Go online to any of the many web stores (see Resources) that sell ink refill kits. You purchase the refill kit one time and then purchase the bulk ink to refill your ink tanks for even more savings.

3. Choose to buy multi-packs of ink for your photo printer. If you already have a photo printer that does not use individual tanks and you do not want to refill your tanks, this is another option for low cost photo printer ink. The stores sell the multi-packs at a discount to you.

4. Select the large economy size ink cartridge for your photo printer. Both HP and Lexmark offer larger size single tanks that save money over the regular size cartridge. Ask the sales representative for this larger size.

5. Compare regular prices for ink for your photo printer and take advantage of specials the stores offer. Enjoy printing your photos on your photo printer.
