Ink cartridges made by the printer manufactures are expensive. One can't argue that the lower priced generic brands or the refill kits are appealing. There are a few things to be considered, however, before making the switch to save money.

Printer manufactures will do everything they can to dissuade you from making the switch to the cheaper brands. They will tell you that it will harm your printer, you will not get quality prints. They may even threaten to discontinue your warranty if you stop using their ink products.

On the other hand the manufactures of the generic brands and refill kits have a totally different story to tell. They claim that their product works just as well and will cause no harm to your printer.

In all honesty they are both right to an extent. There is no doubt that the product you get from the printer manufacturer will give you high quality prints. However, it is also possible to get high quality prints from other brands or from refills and save money.

The deciding factor is the ink quality. All companies use different types of ink in their cartridges. The ink is what will determine what type of quality prints you get.

Each printer is manufactured to use a certain type of ink. If you do not use the type of ink required by your particular printer you could harm your printer and you will sacrifice the quality. Also certain inks are made to be used with certain paper. The wrong combination there will also affect your print quality.

Before you start shopping be aware of what type of ink your printer requires and be sure you stick with that kind.

Avoid buying from cartridge manufactures that put the same kind of ink in all of their cartridges. They are clearly not concerned with giving a quality product and their cartridges will most likely not work well on any printer type.

When choosing your ink, make sure the company uses the correct type of ink that will work properly with your printer. And be sure they offer a money-back guarantee in case you have any problems.

With careful shopping you will be able to find cartridges that are compatible with your printer, you will not sacrifice the quality of your prints and you will save money.
