Buy Remanufactured Cartridges and Save Money by:Kathryn Dawson

Buying remanufactured cartridges is an effective way to save money in comparison to buying original cartridges

. Most people these days choose to recycle their ink cartridges and at most large companies and offices you'll see special bins for empty cartridges which are then sent to be cleaned and refilled to be used again. If you are interested in recycling then look into remanufactured cartridges and never look back as they'll not only save you lots of money but also let you do your little bit in saving the planet.

Remanufactured printer cartridges are made of reused printer cartridge parts and just as good as the original ones, they are cheaper as the only costs the company has to cover are the ink and labour involved in the process. Switch to buying remanufactured cartridges and not only will you end up paying a lot less but also get to feel good about helping to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in a landfill and takes decades to decay.

There is nothing particularly difficult about remanufactured printer ink cartridges, they are simply made from empty ones. The process they go through involves being taken apart, cleaned and repaired, new parts added when necessary and then refilled with inkjet ink or laser toner, once they have been rigorously tested they are then packaged and the job is done. Throughout the process OEM standards have to be maintained so the finished product is just as good quality as the original, and even has to undergo various tests to confirm this. There are remanufactured cartridges for practically every printer and finding one suitable for yours shouldn't be an issue.

There is still a misconception with many companies that if you buy your printer from a brand name, you always then have to buy your cartridges from them too otherwise your warranty becomes invalid. However this isn't the case, by law (look up the Magnusson-Moss warranty act online for further information) the company you bought your printer from can only void the warranty if you used the cartridge in a manner that caused the damage to the printer. As the odds of this are highly unlikely it isn't really a matter of concern and means you can buy any compatible cartridge that you wish.

If you work in a large company that gets through a lot of ink cartridges then you could even earn yourself some money by switching to recycling. Some companies will pay for undamaged cartridges so incorporate a recycling bin in your workplace and set up a scheme that will make it all worthwhile.

Look online and you'll find companies where you can send your old cartridges, there is generally a form to download and fill out to be sent along with the items. Ensure you wrap the cartridges carefully so they can't be damaged on the journey, preferably in paper or plastic bags incase of leakage. Some companies will give you credit to be used in buying new ink cartridges, whilst others will pay the money directly into your bank account.

Remember that when you make the decision to buy remanufactured cartridges you are supporting recycling efforts, reusing cartridge parts saves enormous amounts of plastics, metal and oil from ending up on already overfull waste disposal sites and when you realize that plastics can take up to 1000 years to decompose how can you make any other choice?

The biggest advantage to shopping online is that you have the chance to open as many websites as you want and easily compare products and prices without having to spend a whole day or more going from shop to shop. You can also find lots of valuable advice and information from other users and shoppers via forums and reviews. As merchants from all over the world advertise online you are much more likely to find printer ink cartridges, HP ink cartridges or HP Photosmart c4580 ink at very reasonable prices.
