Think Ink

Good color printers don’t cost very much anymore, but those replacement ink cartridges…ouch, why are they so expensive?  Actually, they aren’t—if you know where to look.  Find the best prices at InkSell.com, which carries cartridges compatible with just about every model from the top printer manufacturers.  Typical prices are at least 15 percent below brand-name retail, but search around the site for discounts of up to 70 percent.  While you’re there, check out prices on ink-jet paper for both regular prints and photos.  Anyone who’s been getting into digital photography will immediately appreciate the savings.  If you use a laser printer, look for discounts of up to 50 percent on toner cartridges.
