Inkjet Printers: How Much Do They Really Cost?
There are inkjet printers for every budget. At the low end, you can pay less than $50. At the high-end, you can pay several hundred dollars. However, the purchase price of an inkjet printer is not the best way to determine how good of a bargain you are getting.The truth of the matter is, printer ink is not cheap. An inkjet cartridge for your $50 printer can cost you $30.
That means that the cost of two inkjet cartridges will be more than the cost of your purchase price. A much better way to determine if you are getting a bargain on your inkjet printer is to try to figure out what it will cost you over the period of one year. That means you have to add the cost of your inkjet cartridges to the purchase price of your printer. To give you an idea of your cost, here's a simple way to estimate your cost. First, look up how many pages you inkjet cartridge will print.
Then, make a rough estimate of how many pages of print you print each week. Multiply your weekly estimate by 52 to get the total pages for the year. Finally, divide the total number of pages per year by the number of cartridges your printer is rated to print. This will tell you how many inkjet cartridges you will need to purchase in a year.For example, suppose your ink cartridge prints 200 pages and you estimate you print 20 pages per week. That means you'd print 1040 pages in one year.
If you divide 1040 pages by 200 pages, you'd have to buy 6 cartridges to cover your printing for one year. Now, how much does each cartridge cost? Multiply that by the number of cartridges you'll need for one year and you have your answer. This simple exercise may surprise you. If an ink cartridge cost $30 each, you'll spend $180 in one year on ink. If you only paid $50 for the printer, that's over three times the cost of the printer.If it cost you $180 to print 1040 pages and the printer costs $50, you'll pay $230 for your one-year printer cost.
That comes to 22.1 cents per page. Now do the same thing for a different printer and compare. You just might be surprised. One more thing? go online and look at some reputable printer companies. There are several recommended on this site.
Check out the cost of their discount inkjet cartridges. These are brand new ink cartridges that are guaranteed to be as good as the original ink cartridge. They just don't have the "brand name" on the box. You'll probably be able to cut your printing cost in half. Now, you can make an informed decision on your next inkjet printer.
You'll at least have an idea on how much it really costs..

Buying an inkjet printer these days is no big deal. A reliable printer can be acquired very easily through a store or online for as little as $50. Some suppliers are even giving away inkjet printers on promotions or as free incentives when buying other products. On the face of it, it seems like too good an opportunity to pass by - a worthwhile investment you might say. But, much like a traditional camera that uses film, an inkjet printer is only 'cheap' before you start using it.
The cost of keeping it in ink soon mounts up, especially when you're buying OEM (original equipment manufactured) inkjet cartridges as recommended by the printer manufacturer. Before you know it you'll find that you've actually spent more on the ink cartridges than you did on the purchase of the inkjet printer itself! If you're in this position - and let's face it, most of us are - what follows could be quite a revelation!Five things inkjet printer manufacturers DON'T want you to know? 1. Inkjet printer...

Do I need to buy name-brand replacement ink cartridges?
No way! Name brand replacements are often twice or three-times more expensive than compatible or remanufactured ink cartridges. And that's not it. Compatible and remanufactured ink cartridges are of equal or better quality than name-brand replacements.
Remanufactured printer cartridges are completely cleaned and refilled with premium ink. Compatible cartridges are built just like name brand cartridges and filled with similar ink.
Printer manufacturers "recommend" that you buy their replacement ink simply because they rely on cartridge sales for survival. Don't be apprehensive about buying remanufactured or compatible ink cartridges. They really are just as good ? and you'll save yourself 75-85% every time your ink runs out..

Ink Cartridges - A humble beginning
Computers and their accompanying printers were huge years ago. In the past toner reservoirs and toner cartridges were used instead of ink cartridges like those used now. It was difficult to fill a toner cartridge and it was very messy.Toner cartridges were an improvement. Print wheels and ribbons were used in some printers. Computers are now more compact and the printers do more than just print in some cases.
Printer cartridges now have self-contained reservoirs. Refilling some printer cartridges now is not as messy as adding toner was.Printer cartridges are available in two types. Primarily Hewlett-Packard and Epson printers used the first type the Piezo Electric. An applied electric current is put to a small crystal causing it to expand approximately every five microseconds (20,000 per second).The inkjet ink squirts out through the print heads very fast and very precisely because of this expansion. Because Piezo Electric has fewer print heads than bubble jet/thermal printers...
