OT: Where do you buy your printer ink???

[ChisJo]

I have to get new ink for my printer, but I don't want to pay through the roof for printer ink. I have heard that online stores are way cheaper than the big box stores. Has anyone had experience with this, and if so, where do you get your ink? I have gotten ink before at Costco, but they've been out the last couple of times I've been there

Walmart or Costco!

We order from blankdvdmedia.com. I believe that they are located in Montreal. We have always had great service.

Honestly, I usually just go with Staples, but I keep an eye on their flyers so I can snap up any deals or sales. In the past, I've taken advantage of "buy two toners, get a free paper shredder" and "buy two toners, get a free case of printer paper". I like to have spare ink on hand, so I don't mind buying multiples.

We were looking for some new ink for our HP home printer--would you believe it was actually $30 cheaper to buy a whole new printer (WITH INK IN IT) than it was to buy the ink alone? What kind of business model is that, anyway?

Ebay. i can get 15 cartridges for $25. I used to work for Epson Printers and printer companies make their money off ink and paper. You don't need to buy their brand. I print photos with my ebay ink and they look great. You get 10 black and 5 colour, and you can't beat the price.

Bought my last cartridge at:

Have found that my HP is now "old" (4yrs) and getting harder to find the ink for!!!

Really don't want to but may have to splurge and buy a new printer if I have issues finding a cartridge when the current one runs out and will have to pay the new fee associated with purchasing electronics!

PP mentioned that a replacement cartridge cost more than a new printer with cartridge...... shows you that the printer companies view their products are disposable! Not very GREEN, eh?

I've seen this too, but don't forget most printers only come with "starter" ink cartridges. Usually around half the capacity of a regular one.

Was this the refillable ink where you send in your old cartridge and they refill them?
I tired this once, it was o.k. for just black & white printing, but photo printing colour was awful.

We buy from here too- comes very fast in the mail- our cartridges are $5 each and they have always worked great.
