<p>I can't say enough good things about my experiences buying cartridges with <a rel="nofollow" href="http://inksblog.com/suppliers/4inkjets" target="_blank">4Inkjets</a>. In the past year, I've saved about $250 on inkjet cartridges and toner by purchasing through them instead of at local store. I've tried 4 other suppliers, and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://inksblog.com/suppliers/4inkjets" target="_blank">4Inkjets</a> blows them all out of the water. You do pay a bit more compared to other discount ink retailers, but that extra is well-worth it when you consider the superior customer service and quality of product you receive at <a rel="nofollow" href="http://inksblog.com/suppliers/4inkjets" target="_blank">4Inkjets</a>.</p>
<p>When I first started with them, I have to admit that I was at first a bit skeptical; would the ink cartridges I receive be up to the quality of the cartridges I had been  buying? Well, countless ink cartridges later, I can say that the products I've purchased from <a rel="nofollow" href="http://inksblog.com/suppliers/4inkjets" target="_blank">4Inkjets</a> have far exceeded my expectations.</p>
<h3>#1: Rave Customer Reviews</h3>
<div id="attachment_285" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 135px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-285" title="bizrate-4inkjets" src="http://inksblog.com/wp-content/uploads/bizrate-4inkjets-20081.gif" alt="Over 50,000 positive customer reviews and counting..." width="125" height="37" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Over 47,520 positive customer reviews and counting...</p></div>
<p>What other customers say about a retailer is always one of the things I check first. On Bizrate, 4Inkjets has been rated over 50,000 times, with over 95% of those reviews being positive and indicated that the customer would return again to buy. I can definitely count myself as one of the many satisfied.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://inksblog.com/suppliers/4inkjets" target="_blank">4Inkjets</a> has also been awarded the highest rating possible by Yahoo Stores and is certified by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) as a retailer that follows the stringent quality guidelines set forth in the BBB's Online Reliability Program.</p>
<h3>#2: Your Purchases Are Fully Protected By A 1 Year Risk-Free Guarantee</h3>
<p>Say you buy a cartridge from a random online retailer. You receive the cartridge in a couple of days and proceed to try it out. Instead of crisp prints, you get faded printing, and worst of all, the cartridge starts to leak.</p>
<p>Won't happen if you buy from <a rel="nofollow" href="http://inksblog.com/suppliers/4inkjets" target="_blank">4Inkjets</a>. First, 4Inkjets puts all of their products through rigorous testing to ensure they conform to established ISO manufacturing standards, ensuring that your printer cartridge will produce crisp, quality prints every time. If for some reason, you're not entirely satisfied with your cartridge, simply return it (as long as it still has 75% of its original ink), and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://inksblog.com/suppliers/4inkjets" target="_blank">4Inkjets</a> will issue you a prompt refund. They will even pay for the return shipping!</p>
<h3>#3: Great Selection Of Discount Ink Cartridges and Laser Toner</h3>

<p>Finding compatible ink cartridges for your new printer is easier than you think. Some people call these generic or remanufactured ink cartridges. If you have an inkjet printer you know how expensive ink cartridges can be. You, like millions of other inkjet owners, have probably been perplexed when you went to buy your first new inkjet printer cartridges.</p>
<p>Most people suffer from severe sticker shock. The cost of replacement printer cartridges is ridiculously higher. In many cases you can purchase a new printer for less money than it cost to replace your ink cartridges. Generic, or compatible refilled ink cartridges may be the answer for you.</p>
<h3>Compatible Ink Is The Generic (Off-Brand) Version Of Ink Cartridges</h3>
<p>Refilled compatible ink cartridges offer a terrific alternative to new ones. Compatible ink cartridges typically cost anywhere from 30 to 50% less than new ones. The savings are significant. Refilling cartridges has become big business.<br />
Many entrepreneurs have answered the call for cheaper ink alternatives and are offering low cost compatible ink cartridges. 4Inkjets (<a href="http://inksblog.com/reviews/why-4inkjets-is-my-preferred-ink-supplier/">read review</a>) is one online store that has answered the call. You can find all your low cost compatible ink cartridge supplies there.</p>
<h3>Buying Compatible Ink Cartridges Is Less Of A Hassle Than Ink Refill Kits</h3>
<p>Many people have tried to refill cartridges on their own and had great difficulty. Most people get discouraged when they try and refill cartridges on their own. They generally make a mess of things and quit early on. Don’t let this experience hinder you from buying a refilled compatible ink cartridge. Refilled compatible ink cartridges are refilled in a professional environment are in the same shape as the new ones you buy. Many people have discovered that refilled compatible ink cartridges perform just as well as the new ones.</p>
<p>So do not throw that new printer away. Get your compatible ink cartridge online and keep your financial sanity.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The story is always the same - you buy a new printer and are excited with your new purchase. The printer does a fantastic job and you find yourself printing up all the pictures on your digital camera. </p>
<p>Before you know it you have completely emptied the ink cartridges in your new printer. You take a trip to your local electronics store to restock on some new ink cartridges. Your mouth drops to the floor when you see the price of new brand-name cartridges. You are amazed as you see a new printer on sale cheaper than it would cost to buy your new ink cartridges. Disgusted, you leave the store without your new cartridges.</p>
<p>This is a story that happens over and over every day. I have to admit that I have actually bought a new printer cheaper than what it would have cost to buy new cartridges. I threw the barely used printer in the garbage can. One was donated to a local school. Yes, I have done that more than once.<br />
After doing this a few times I finally found a place to buy remanufactured or refilled ink cartridges. I was elated. Finally, I could keep my printer. Remanufactured ink cartridges are very affordable. They also perform just as well as new cartridges. </p>
<h3>But I've Heard That Alternative Cartridges Can Void My Printer Warranty?</h3>
<p>Not true at all. <a href="http://inksblog.com/remanufactured/remanufactured-cartridges-will-not-void-your-printer%E2%80%99s-warranty/">Consumers are protected from printer warranty voiding by the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act</a>. This is merely a scare tactic used by some printer companies.</p>
<h3>4Inkjets Provides Affordable Quality Ink</h3>
<p>If you get sticker shock when you shop for new printer cartridges, you should go online and check out <a href="http://inksblog.com/reviews/why-4inkjets-is-my-preferred-ink-supplier/">4Inkjets, an online ink supplier</a>. At <a href="http://inksblog.com/suppliers/4inkjets" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">4Inkjets</a> you will find remanufactured or refilled ink cartridges for your printer at a fraction of the original cost. It is great. Remanufactured ink cartridges perform very well and generally, you can save 30-50% off the cost of a new ink cartridge.</p>
<p>4inkjets is a great online store providing all your remanufactured ink cartridge needs. It can help you keep your sanity (in today's struggling economy) and your new printer.</p>

<p>Most people who own a personal computer also own an inkjet printer. Inkjet printers are very affordable. Inkjet printers usually come as part of a new computer package. Inkjet printing quality has improved with technology in the past few years.</p>
<h3>Printer Ink Costs Today Are Astronomical</h3>
<p>Today, you can achieve fantastic quality prints from your inkjet printer. This quality comes at a price. That price is the high cost of replacement ink cartridges. This <a href="http://inksblog.com/oem/hp-ink-costs-more-than-human-blood-booze/">replacement cost is astronomical</a>, and typically, the replacement ink cartridges cost more than a new printer.</p>
<p>For most people this boggles their minds. They can’t understand how a replacement ink cartridge can actually cost more than a new printer. Thus, refilling your expended ink cartridges has become a big business. There are kits that you can buy that allow you to <a href="http://inksblog.com/tips/basics-of-how-to-refill-ink-cartridges-and-toner/">refill your own cartridges</a>.<br />
There are also companies that will refill the cartridge for you. There are also companies that sell refilled cartridges. For most consumers these companies are a god send. Refilled ink cartridges can typically save you 30 to 50% over a new cartridge.</p>
<h3>Choose From A Variety of Ink Refilling Options</h3>
<p>The <a href="http://inksblog.com/reviews/why-4inkjets-is-my-preferred-ink-supplier/">online printer ink supplier 4Inkjets</a> offers everything you need to refill your ink cartridges. They are one of the many companies who have stepped up and provide a great service to consumers. The <a rel="nofollow" href="http://inksblog.com/suppliers/4inkjets" target="_blank">4Inkjets</a> site offers quality replacement ink cartridges at a fraction of the cost.<br />
This website and others like it provide a fantastic service to consumers. This website proves that inkjet printer cartridges do not have to cost an arm and a leg. Refilling your ink cartridge is also eco-friendly. Environmentalists are all for refilling and recycling inkjet cartridges. This practice saves the earth. By refilling your ink cartridges, you keep one less item from ending up in landfills.</p>
<p>The next time you need a new inkjet cartridge you should try a recycled and refilled cartridge instead.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Never refilled your own ink cartridges before? Read on to learn how you can start.</p>
<p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">After you have purchased your ink refill kit that is compatible with your printer model (if you haven't, I recommend <a rel="nofollow" href="http://inksblog.com/suppliers/4inkjets" target="_blank">4Inkjets</a> or <a rel="nofollow" href="http://inksblog.com/suppliers/123refills" target="_blank">123Refills</a> for great value and quality products), find yourself a flat workspace to begin refilling the cartridge. Make sure you have some towels for cleanup and clear tape for the installation, as well.</p>
<p>
<span id="more-329"></span></p>
<h3>Preparing For The Refill Process</h3>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Firstly, you'll want to take the empty cartridge out of your printer. Keep in mind that the ink can be messy, so you'll want to be close to a sink or, perhaps, wear some disposable gloves. Make sure to place the paper towels down on your work area to catch any ink that might be displaced - heavy duty paper towels work best, and, when using standard ply towels, you might want to double up. Keep in mind that individual refill kits may have their own instructions, so make sure to refer to them carefully and read over the instructions included in the kit you have purchased before beginning as well.</p>
<p></p>
<h3>Locate The Appropriate Injection Location</h3>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">At the top of the cartridge you will find holes to insert the ink - make sure to locate those before you begin. Each hole will correspond to a color - for color printers, there will be a magenta, cyan and yellow hole in addition to the black ink found on gray scale printers. Pay close attention to the diagram included in your kit and your printer so you make sure you are filling the colors properly. Next, use the needle to draw ink and insert the proper amount into the holes - be careful to insert only the amount needed. Once you have reached the right amount, slowly remove the needle and clean any excess ink. Once you have properly filled each hole, cover it with just a small amount of clear tape to ensure there will be no leaks; also make sure to wipe the cartridge itself on a paper towel to clean up any residual ink.</p>
<p></p>
<h3>Verify Ink Was Refilled Successfully</h3>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Make sure to eye the cartridge and visually check for any leakages before you insert it back into the printer. You'll want to print a test page in full color to make sure you've installed it properly, and then pat yourself on the back for saving a lot on your ink.</p>

<p>A great way to save on your printing costs is to utilize compatible ink cartridges rather than full-price brand name ink. Original Equipment Manufacturer, or OEM, ink is found in office supply stores and sold by the original printer manufacturer in glossy boxes at a high price. Usually, you will hear claims about how OEM cartridges are of the highest quality and will produce better results than any competitive products. In truth, however, compatible cartridges can produce a high quality of output at a much lower cost basis than brand-name manufacturer ink, if you purchase them from reputable online suppliers.</p>
<p>OEM cartridges do often come with warranties and guarantees, but it's much more likely that any defects will occur due to the printer hardware than with any ink refill. The relatively high frequency of cartridge replacement will mean that you'll likely use up your ink before you have any mechanical problems with the cartridge itself; in the rare cases that there is a defect, you will be able to tell upon your first print from the cartridge, and, in those cases, you can usually just exchange the product.</p>
<h3>Buying Compatible Ink Makes Sense</h3>
<p>Even when OEM ink supplies have a longer life, when adjusted for per unit cost, compatible cartridges are still much less expensive. For example, a black ink OEM cartridge for the HP Officejet 7210 printer currently retails for $22.99 in office supply stores. Online, at retailers like <a rel="nofollow" href="http://inksblog.com/suppliers/4inkjets" target="_blank">4Inkjets</a> or <a rel="nofollow" href="http://inksblog.com/suppliers/123refills" target="_blank">123Refills</a>, a compatible black cartridge can be had for almost three times less, at only $9.95, a savings over close to $13 per cartridge. The savings only multiply when one considers the need to replace separate color cartridges.</p>
<p><span id="more-192"></span></p>
<h3>Buy Cartridges From An ISO-Compliant Supplier To Ensure Quality</h3>
<p>Original manufacturer claims about better quality are often overstated. Contrary to any of these claims, compatible cartridges are capable of working well with nearly any printer model, in nearly any printer line by meeting level of standards required by the printer manufacturer. Simply buy from a retailer that complies with <a href="http://inksblog.com/compatible/iso-manufacturing-standards-ensure-high-inkjet-cartridge-quality/">ISO manufacturing standards</a> like <a rel="nofollow" href="http://inksblog.com/suppliers/4inkjets" target="_blank">4Inkjets</a>, and you will be safe.</p>
<p>Rest assured that your compatible ink clears the bar needed for working with the printer, and if you buy the right cartridge for your model, you should be able to get great results at a lower price. Additionally, compatible cartridges can often be purchased at bulk discounts that are not available for original OEM products, which are sold at high retail prices.</p>
<p>When choosing your next cartridge, keep in mind that there a number of alternatives to high OEM ink prices, and compatible cartridges can be found for most printer models at affordable rates.</p>

<p>The International Organization for Standardization, or ISO, sets quality standards for various manufacturing processes. The ISO standard is comprehensive and touches on each aspect of the supply chain from raw source materials all the way to end-user delivery. While product defects are inevitable, the goal of ISO is continued improvement to limit any problems and constant work to improve the quality of outputs.</p>
<p>Buying an ISO-certified ink cartridge helps ensure that, while you are saving on your ink refills, you are not sacrificing quality standards.</p>
<h3>Look For Ink Suppliers That Comply With ISO 9000 Certifications</h3>
<p>The most common set of standards is the ISO 9001 standard which certifies a level of quality in manufacturer business operations, output improvement and product compliance. Ink manufacturers that are ISO 9000 certified have met a level of inspection quality that ensures quality control procedures; make sure to look for the ISO seal, especially when purchasing remanufactured ink cartridges as a safeguard for quality.</p>

<h3>ISO 14000 Standards Protect The Environment</h3>
<p>Similarly, the ISO 14000 environmental standards set an internationally accepted set of practices for environmental quality throughout the supply chain. ISO 14000 certified companies constantly work to limit the impact of their production on the environment, and seek out ways to streamline the impact of their by-products and factories. Since recycled and remanufactured ink cartridges allow for re-use of previously used cartridges, they can potentially cut down on environmental waste and landfill material, extending the life of the original materials. Purchasing recycled ink can provide ecological as well as economic benefits, and finding an ISO 14000-accredited supplier further ensures that both of those goals will be met.</p>
<h3>Which Printer Ink Suppliers Are ISO Compliant?</h3>
<p><a href="http://inksblog.com/suppliers/4inkjets" rel="nofollow"><img class="size-full wp-image-114 alignnone" style="border: medium none; margin-right: 10px;" title="4inkjets Logo" src="http://inksblog.com/wp-content/uploads/4inkjets-logo.gif" alt="" width="120" height="60" /></a><br />
<strong><a href="http://inksblog.com/suppliers/4inkjets" rel="nofollow">4Inkjets</a></strong> - Their compatible and remanufactured cartridges are manufactured in an ISO 9001 compliant factory. Because of this, they offer a 1-year moneyback guarantee that their printer supplies will match or exceed brand-name counterparts.</p>
<p><a href="http://inksblog.com/suppliers/123refills" rel="nofollow"><img class="size-full wp-image-111 alignnone" style="border: medium none; margin-right: 10px;" title="123refills-logo" src="http://inksblog.com/wp-content/uploads/123refills-logo.jpg" alt="" width="252" height="69" /></a><br />
<strong><a href="http://inksblog.com/suppliers/123refills" rel="nofollow">123Refills</a></strong> - 123Refills also stocks a wide variety of ink cartridges that are certified ISO complaint, and provide a similar moneyback guarantee.</p>
<p>Both set of ISO standards share the same basic framework in focusing on quality throughout the supply chain from beginning to end. Nearly all classes of products and companies can obtain ISO-certification which is application independent, but has a particularly important use in improving transparency in the case of 3rd party products such as recycled ink. Just as the brand name on an OEM cartridge signals a level of reliability, so does ISO certification imply a level of standards for 3rd party ink solutions.</p>
