Why Do Ink Cartridges Cost So Much? Consumers revolt over the cost of ink jet cartridges, even as printer prices plummet. At $22 per quarter-ounce, a Hewlett-Packard color ink-jet cartridge is more expensive, by weight, than imported Russian caviar. Observing such high prices, Connecticut research consultant Zel Dolinsky wants to know the reasons for them. "How come, with printer prices falling, ink prices are still so outrageous?" Dolinsky asks. "I'm appalled." Full Story....... |

Should You Use Third-Party Ink Cartridges?
One of the questions that comes up frequently is whether or not you should buy ink cartridges from companies other than your printer manufacturer (also known as "third-party" companies). On the one hand, printer manufacturers can be a little too vehement about how necessary it is to use their brand -- and only their brand -- when buying ink cartridges. Cartridges are an important income source for printer manufacturers and vendors: For example, if the owner of a $150 printer has to buy a $15 ink cartridge once a month, within a year he or she has spent more on ink than on the original printer.

How can I save ink?
Ink cartridges aren't called "consumables" for nothing. Your printer may have only cost you $50, but you may be spending over twice that in a year in ink alone. One way to begin to save ink is to only print in color when you need to. Color ink is way more expensive than black ink, and often you don't need to use it. For example, when you're printing a copy of some information on a Web page, do you really need all those pretty colors? Full Story....... Full Story....... |

Counterfeit ink and toner cartridges can ruin prints, spray ink, and permanently damage your printer. Part one of a series on cheap ink.
In early February, Yasar Sattar shook hands with undercover detective Rod Jones and a private investigator for Epson, who were posing as potential ink buyers. All three men were inside a Brampton, Ontario, doughnut shop, and Sattar had just agreed to sell $30,000 (U.S.) worth of Epson and Hewlett-Packard ink jet and toner cartridges for a fraction of the normal price. Jones and the Epson sleuth, who had pegged the cartridges as counterfeit after a lengthy joint investigation, hopped into an SUV and followed Sattar to a nondescript warehouse a mile away. There, Sattar swung open a metal door to reveal pallets of what looked like legitimate ink cartridges, packaged for sale. "These fakes looked so real, I couldn't believe my eyes," recalls Jones, a member of the Brampton-based Peel Regional Police's intelligence unit. Sattar handed Jones the invoice for the cartridges, assuring him that the ink was genuine. Backup officers then barged in and arrested Sattar, ending one of a growing number of worldwide sting operations against counterfeit-ink rings. Growing Problem In U.S. and Canadian stores and on a host of Web sites, counterfeit ink jet and laser toner cartridges packaged as the real thing are becoming as ubiquitous as bogus Rolex wristwatches and fake Prada handbags. Individuals and businesses that purchase these knockoffs to save a few bucks can wind up with substandard prints, leaky or exploding cartridges, and permanent damage to their printers. The problem has reached epidemic proportions in some areas--as much as half of certain brand-name inks sold in Mexico and in the Middle East may be inauthentic--and it's on the rise here as well. The Imaging Supplies Coalition, a printer and supplies manufacturers' organization, estimates that 1 of every 20 brand-name ink cartridges sold in the United States is counterfeit. Fake cartridges--which are not to be confused with third-party products clearly labeled as such and compatible with various name-brand printers--are showing up in reputable brick-and-mortar retailers and online stores. In at least some instances, the sellers do not realize the cartridges they're stocking are bogus. The coalition estimates that its eight member companies--Brother, Canon, Epson, Katun (a maker of printer supplies), Lexmark, Oki, Toshiba, and Xerox--lost close to $2 billion last year globally to fake ink and toner cartridges. It's easy to see why: Counterfeit ink is simple to manufacture, yields enormous profits, and is a consumable that people buy over and over again. According to police and private investigators, these characteristics make ersatz ink an ideal product for both organized criminals and terrorist groups. Full Story....... |
