Replacement Ink Cartridge – Be Environment Friendly

How do you replace your ink cartridges? Do you buy them new? Or do you refill them? Are you aware that refilling of the cartridge is environment friendly and at the same time it is half the cost of the new one? The replacement ink cartridge can be of three kinds, (i) new and branded, (ii) refilled and recycled, (iii) local brand refilled.

The Three Types Of Replacement Ink Cartridges

(i) The new and branded ink cartridge is perfect, recommended, and very expensive. For people who have the money and do not want any type of compromise, this choice is the best. You can use the new ones, if money is of no concern to you.

(ii) The second choice, refilled and recycled, is the best choice because it saves at least fifty percent on the cost of the cartridge. Besides, refilling of the cartridge means that there are fewer cartridges discarded and hence, there are fewer pollutants on the Planet. The replacement ink cartridge in this way helps you financially; helps the earth environmentally and also promotes small cottage industries which have been set up specifically to cater to this segment of computer peripherals.

(iii) The replacement ink cartridge that is refilled and manufactured locally is another feasible way. When the replacement ink cartridge is local made, it is as good as new, while the cost is about half of the price of the new one. This also prevents further damage to the environment since the cartridges are no more discarded but recycled for new usage.

Taking into consideration that the consumables of the ink jet printer are extremely expensive, the second and third choices give you a great way to saving money as well as promote environment friendly ways of managing waste.

The demand for the alternatives available in the market, whether they are the local brands consumables or just refills, indicate that the consumer today is more careful about how he/she spends their money. The consumer is also highly sensitized to the environment concerns that plague the planet today.

All said and done, be careful about counterfeit refills which will spoil your printer and the printouts. When you decide to use the alternatives available in the market, choose carefully and only after thorough testing of the locally branded products. As long as you use the authentic refills, you will not loose in any way in terms of quality. You would rather gain financially, because the local brands will cost much less that the originals.
