Your Refilled Cartridges Can Pay Some Bills
Ever thought about putting your refilling talent to work for you? I'm not talking about starting an inkjet refilling business, however, there's nothing stopping you from doing that. What I mean is if you enjoy refilling inkjet cartridges there are ways that you can sell them and make some money without a whole lot of effort. Many people think that a refilling business is the type that people bring you their cartridges, you refill them, and they pay you and leave. That's the hard way to do it. A much easier way is to obtain empty cartridges, refill them and sell them.
The trick is where to get the empties so you don't go broke in the process. Another thing to realize is you only want to refill cartridges that have print heads on them. Most HP and Lexmark cartridges fall into that category. Most Canons and all Epson's won't.The easiest place to sell your cartridges is on eBay. You can also sell them to your friends, neighbors and work associates.
If you sell them on eBay you could include in your ad that you buy empties. Offer $1.00 per empty and stipulate that they must be virgin cartridges, never before refilled. Another place to get your empties is empties.com. You can also make up some fliers and pass them out to local business' offering to buy their empty cartridges. So many companies throw them away and would gladly sell them to you cheap.You don't need a lot of expensive tools to get started.
A couple refill kits will pay for themselves rather quickly. If you specialize in a few types of cartridges you won't have to buy a lot of supplies. Popular cartridges like HP C6578 and HP 51645A, HP 6656, HP 6657, Lexmark 12A1970 and 12A1980, 10N0016 and 10N0026.You will also need boxes and cartridge clips or just use print head sealing tape. These are pretty cheap and you can find them on the internet.If you have a printer that fits a popular cartridge you can use it to test your cartridges before selling them. You can buy printers on eBay for pennies on the dollar for testing machines.
Don't forget the other auctions like Yahoo, Ubid and Amazon for buying printers. Actually you might get a better deal buying a printer on the smaller auctions. Price your cartridges about 25% below retail or use the prices from our web site. There's plenty of business to go around so what are you waiting for? There's not enough room here to go into complete detail but if you want more information take a look at Matt Eve's book on starting a refilling business:http://atlascopy.com/cartridge-refilling-business.htm.

Can I Use My Old Ink In My New Printer?
The answer is...yes and no. Whoh!That's not an answer. Well consider this. How many printer models do you think there are out there right now? 1000? 2000? Who knows. But one thing I do know is nobody, including me, is going to spend the time testing the wrong inks in the wrong cartridges all day long to see if it works."OK wise guy", you say, "can I at least get a reasonable explanation of why I can't use my old ink in my new printer?"Sure, that's an easier question to answer.
You see, everybody already assumes that they can before they even ask the question, that's why they word it that way. It's because of the people who sell those "one kit fits all" refill kits.All printer manufacturers do things a little different. Without getting technical, there are basically three different technologies for inkjet printers. Epson uses Piezoelectric, Canon uses Bubblejet and HP and Lexmark use thermal inkjet technology. An ink designed for Canon, for instance, has a much lower convection...

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...

The Easiest Inkjet Cartridge To Refill
People keep asking me which is the easiest inkjet cartridge to refill and the answer has been the same for years now. Rather than tell you now I'm going to work from the bottom of the pile upwards.Probably the hardest cartridge to refill is the HP C6578. If you've mastered this one give yourself a hardy pat on the back. HP color cartridges like the C1823, the forbearer to the C6578, have been a challenge to refillers because of the unique design that I'm sure was carefully engineered to thwart refilling. Conversely and ironically, HP couples this with a black cartridge that is a snap to refill, the 51645A and C6615.
Go figure. But we still didn't get to the easiest one to refill. Keep reading.Lexmark cartridges have followed the same basic designs as HP. You can see a remarkable resemblance in the Lexmark 12A1980 and itscounterpart 15M0120 to HP's 51625A and 51649A color cartridges. All of these cartridges are a pain to refill but can be done with great success if you know the...
