    How to Save Money Replacing an HP Cartridge

    Ink cartridges require more frequent replacement than laser toner, but they have their advantages. For example, inkjet printers are great for high-resolution photos. However, the price for the original supplies upsets their owners. Here are the best ideas for HP cartridge replacement in 2021.

    Most consumers pursue the best value for money, but OEM cartridges can hardly deliver it. Meanwhile, independent stores offer HP 564 ink with a money-back guarantee, and the price is much lower (under $35 at Smart Ink). These savings add up to a lot in the long run. The appeal of these alternative products is understandable, but are they really reliable? Learn about your options. 

    Why OEM Prices Are Always High

    Hewlett Packard, like other major printer brands, offers a wide range of equipment models, some of which are as cheap as chips. Customers who snatch these deals end up buying the costly original ink if they follow the brand’s recommendations. Selling cheap products to capitalize on consumable supplies is known as the “razor and blades” concept.

    Some industry experts claim the equipment may be sold at break-even or a loss just to attract new customers. Afterward, if they stick to the original supplies, the company can recoup its investment. This explains the notorious pricing, but there is a way to circumvent it. 

    Should You Switch to Compatible Products?

    If you want to save money without sacrificing quality, cartridges from independent brands are a great option. However, providers should not be trusted blindly. As the demand is high, there are plenty of shady websites. Here are the key features to look for.

    • A positive rating on platforms like TrustPilot;
    • Certified quality following international standards like ISO;
    • Instant recognizability;
    • Large volume (XL);
    • 2-year warranty;
    • Free shipping.

    As long as the store checks all the boxes, your purchase is a no-brainer. You will get a product that emulates the original cartridge, but is unique at the same time. Compatible products are perfectly legal despite the repeated attempts by big brands to outlaw them. So far, those legal battles have failed, so you can enjoy an excellent quality of printing with a pleasant price tag.

    Refilled Cartridges: Pros and Cons

    Refilling, or remanufacturing involves emptying, cleaning, and injection of fresh ink. Popular stores sell remanufactured OEM products, so you can get an original cartridge for less money and enjoy excellent printing quality. This is also the most sustainable option, as the cartridges are reused. 

    You can still refill your old product at a brick-and-mortar outlet, but this is inconvenient and risky. The employees must ensure the right volume, injection, and protection of the sensitive elements. Compatible and remanufactured products from reliable stores are preferable, as they ensure certified quality and can be delivered right to your doorstep.
