Are Ink Refill Kits Right for You?

If you’re looking to save money on your ink costs, you may want to consider refilling your old cartridges yourself. Refilling your empty ink cartridges isn’t just the most cost-effective solution to printing – it’s also the most environmentally-conscious. Reusing your old ink cartridges through printer ink refills only cost a quarter of what a new cartridge would amount to, and prevents greenhouse emissions associated with the manufacturing of virgin materials.

However, this method has its set-backs. The quality, although good enough for certain tasks and purposes, will not be as strong as new or remanufactured cartridges when it comes to certain print jobs. Check out our list below to see if ink refill kits are the right choice for you.
