Office Printing Advice

So you have your new letter heads, envelopes and even match compliments slips and so you need to get to work printing out letters and notes to your customers to introduce yourself, or your new business image. However, you have spent the necessary money to get the best quality printed media for your business so is it alright to skimp a little in the office and refill your printer cartridges instead of buying new ones?

You don’t want to ruin all of your brand new stationery by printing on it with poor quality ink or cartridges but refilling is so much cheaper! Well the good news is, that refilling cartridges is not too good to be true, it’s just good. It is cheaper to have your cartridges refilled because the ink companies don’t have to package and ship them out to you – you bring them in and pick them up yourself.

However, as with anything to do with your business, it is important to shop around and make sure you use a quality, reputable supplier to refill your ink cartridges. And be aware that different printer brands use different types of ink, so make sure you are getting your cartridges refilled with the correct kind.

For example, Epson printers use dye based ink while the newer HP printers use pigment based ink and many older printers use water based ink. Therefore some inks are thicker than others and the different types of inks should not be used across the different types of printers as the quality will not be as good.

To help you find a reputable refill company and one who will know which type of ink your cartridges need to be refilled with, ask the experts in the industry and contact Print Compare now.
