Printer Ink

For a long time, now, I've bought the brand name ink for my cheap printer ( $99 ). Finally, I said, enough's enough and I switched to the generic type and everything seems to be A-OK! Laughing

I would have changed sooner, except I thought cheap ink in a cheap printer really spelled DISASTER!

Not so...so it seems! Smile

I find that generic ink doesn't last as long as the specific printer brand. Generic may cost less but you end up buying it more often if you do alot of printing.

Don't know, but was surprised to find my new laserjet costs only $60.00 more than one cartridge. This sounds like the old "give 'em the razor, sell 'em the blades" marketing ploy.

I have a couple printers which seem to tolerate 3rd-party ink OK, yet the printer I favor, and use most, pretty much insists on its own particular, and not cheap, OEM ink. Its a little fussy about paper quality, too.

The cheaper inks usually have larger droplet sizes and are not as dense as the manufacturer's ink.
Basically they're not a high quality.

My printer was $99, when I bought it a few years ago.

The brand-name ink is $25/cartridge and the generic is of the order of $10.

So far the generic seems to be working, but time will tell. Smile
