Individuals and companies alike have uses for printers from printing newsletters to the kid’s photos to flyers to wedding photos. The price of the printer itself is not usually the problem with prices normally beginning at under $100. The problem is the price of the ink cartridges, which can be more expensive than silver or gold.

According to Lyra Research the ink cartridge, replacement industry sees sales of around $21 billion each year. As a matter of fact, Hewlett Packard can attribute 50% of their profit in 2004 to ink and toner supplies while sales for printers were only a small ¼ of the $80 billion sales.

The truth is that companies manufacturing printers and ink cartridge replacements offer the printers at a low price, in some cases, factory prices, just so they hook consumers into purchasing ink cartridges and toner. The big companies may never disclose the answer as to why the ink is so expensive but there is good news. You can find inexpensive ink cartridges and toner without paying those high price tags by the big name companies and you do not have to purchase a kit that is messy and time consuming.
