Free Printer Ink Cartridges
by jim on February 3rd, 2010One of the small headaches of running your own business is that you need to keep your office stocked with all the boring things an office needs, like printer ink cartridges. I use a Canon i560s printer at home and use up a black cartridge every month or two, so finding an affordable source for them is crucial. My store of choice lately has been 123inkjets.com because they carry basically any generic ink cartridge you can think of. I bought replacement cartridges for my Canon i560s for less than a dollar or two a piece, it’s really affordable.
So how do I get them for free? I combine it with Staples’ ink cartridge recycling program to get $3 in store credit! Sign up to their Staples Rewards program and you can recycle up to 10 cartridges per month and get $3 in store credit. I get the cartridges for free because I pay less than $3 and I can get $3 in store credit, which I use to buy all the other supplies I need.
Help the Earth and get free ink cartridges, a win win!

I have an ancient HP 4L Laserjet (seriously 20 years old) and I’ve had two cartriges in my life (the second one is still going strong). The biggest problem isn’t ink, it’s that it was before USB, which makes it difficult to put into today’s computers.
Are there no printers today with as good or better ink efficiency?

Well a laserjet printer so the cartridges are much more expensive because they last longer, that’s why the cartridges are like $70-80 a piece.
