Never Buy from the Manufacturer!
Are you looking to save money when it comes to your inkjet cartridges and refills? Most everyone enjoys new ways to save. Sometimes getting something cheaper doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice the quality. Printer manufacturers don’t make their money selling printers these days (many can be purchased for under $50). The real money lies in selling the inkjet cartridges you will need to keep your printer running. You also need to know that buying direct from the manufacturer is not always a necessity and can even cost you more money that you have to spend. So what other options are available for you?
Do you need an inkjet refill or a new ink cartridge for your inkjet printer? Have you been told to never buy your refills or replacements from the manufacturer? When it comes to this debate, there are many different opinions about where you should buy your refills or replacement cartridges. When you shop in the stores, the manufacturer or store employees will often tell you that you should only buy the cartridges with the same name as the brand of your printer.
Often you will have individuals tell you that you should never buy from the manufacturer and that to do so is a waste of money. So which it is? What should you do? Well, the choice is always up to you and if you want to spend more money on your replacement cartridges, you are certainly welcome to order direct from the manufacturer. However, if you are looking to save money, there are some other options for you.

1. It is more expensive
2. You can’t buy in bulk

The manufacturer is the company that built your printer. When you buy inkjet cartridges directly from them, this means you are buying the same brand as your printer. For example, HP for a Hewitt-Packard or Cannon cartridges for a Cannon printer would be the manufacturer or “original” cartridge. However, these are not your only options. When you take time to learn all of your options, you are on your way to saving money and getting the most from your printer and ink jet cartridges.
There are other brands or “off brands” which can be purchased for cheaper than the name brand inkjet cartridges and will typically be cheaper. In addition, you can buy name brand from other places besides the manufacturer. Often, you can find name brand printer cartridges online that are cheaper or at a discount when the manufacturer will not offer you this when you order from them direct.
One of the main things you need to be careful of when buying your ink jet cartridges from someone other than the manufacturer is to be sure you get the right type for your printer brand and model. You should be able to see now why it benefits you more not to buy from the manufacturer. You can save time and money on all your ink jet related needs. Why would you spend more for the very same thing you can get from another company for less?
