HP Laser Printer Cartridges - Can They Save You Money 

When it comes to using HP laser printer cartridges, there is an argument between whether you should use remanufactured ink refills or go with original HP ink cartridges for your printer. I can understand why many people want to go the refill route. It is cheaper. Any person can see that. Actually, only on the surface is it cheaper.

If you have ever used ink refilled cartridges you'll find that pages become smudged more often when printing and that they can have more problems which causes you to have to reprint documents more often. Not only are you wasting printer ink but you're wasting time. Often times you end up not saving a thing and it actually costs you in terms of stress.

The fact is that HP laser printer cartridges simply work better than secondhand remanufactured ink refill cartridges.

When you purchase an HP printer cartridge you know that you're going to get a fresh printing and that your problems are going to be minimal. You do not know what you're getting when you purchase a refill cartridge. In some instances these cartridges will have been filled over a hundred times before you receive it. Who knows when the refill cartridge is going to go kaput.

Actually, science has stepped in and proven that original HP cartridges are a better deal. A leading quality assurance organization recently conducted a test putting original cartridges up against secondhand cartridges. What they found was that original printer cartridges from HP were not only more reliable, but they printed many more pages than the secondhand cartridges.

On average, their production was 50% more page wise than refill cartridges. When you look at it even further, what happens is that refills of ink cartridges have only a 75% chance of even working when they arrive at your home. One out of every four refilled inkjet cartridges will fail before being fully used. The premature failure rate of HP cartridges is 0% in the tests conducted.

It's really a no-brainer -- when you purchase an HP laser printer cartridge new, you are purchasing reliability and you are purchasing something that will produce far more than refill cartridges. What you may have thought you were saving in money was actually costing you. Go with the original, and skip out on the secondhand ink cartridges.
