Best buy on hp printer cartridges

17 years ago

Wondering where you guys buy your cartridge replacements or do you buy refurbished? I see there are dozens listed on the web, after doing a search, but I want to make sure I get as good a deal as possible and preferably free shipping.

I usually do the messy refill thing but for some reason I can't get good results this time.

thanks in advance.........

I usually buy mine at sams or costco, I have used one of the off brand refills but was not as pleased with it.

Costco for me. Even better, at least twice this past year they had a $25 coupon when buying two twin packs (I bought a color and a B/W pack for our Officejet 6450/6470

Check out ebay auction number 330166991293. This is the exact system that I have. I'm very pleased with it. I was not able to find a brand name on the box - seems it's a generic from China - but it works well. Of course this won't work with your printer but if you look long enough you'll likely see a system for your printer that obviously comes from the same manufacturer based on the graphics on the box. I'm pretty sure this uses dye based inks. Seems that I came across that discussion doing my research and I decided it wasn't worth the headache to fret over the differences. I think the pigment based inks are supposed to be more long lasting. I decided to go the easier and cheaper route and simply plan to reprint any prints that fade over time.

From what I saw that printer has a poor history. And the error appears to indicate a color cartridge problem. some folks have replaced the color cartridge and resolved the error, for others it has not resolved the error, so I could not recommend buying a cartridge and saying that would take care of it based on my search results, I can say this when purchasing a printer I stay with companies in the printer business like, HP, Cannon, brother, because of the amount of printing I do per day I had to get away from cartridge type because of the expense, and have moved to a Brother Printer - Laser jet\drum type.

A tip to save ink: I print in "Fast Draft" mode rather than "Normal"--it uses much less ink, and the minor decrease in print quality doesn't bother me. If I'm doing a very important document, I just change to "Normal" quality. My printers are set to "Fast Draft" as default, so I don't have to remember to change the preferences each time. gneegirl, the cost of cartridges depends on the printer--my newer printers use cartridges that cost $15, whereas my old all-in-one uses cartridges that cost $30. And my laser printer cartridges are $65 (but last much, much longer).

Thanks, but I don't have a Costco nearby, you think Sam's would have as good a buy??

Check brick and mortar websites for availability and prices. On occasion you will find comparable pricing, and perhaps free shipping.

No success with off brand HP cartridges here either.

I buy my ink at my local Walmart. I can buy it cheaper there and it is the same brand as if I ordered it from my printer manufacturer website. When I bought my new printer, I bought it online from Walmart. The ink price for one black ink cartridge is 14.99 and the color is 19.99. Added together, that is cheaper than one cartridge of ink for the old Deskjet 932C I had. I gave that printer along with my old scanner and my old HP computer to a friend who has 2 children and didn't have a computer for her kids to learn with. I also gave her the spare ink I had for it so she did not have to go out and buy new ink.
My printer now is an all in one and use No.s 21, 21XL and 22, 22XL Tri-color , Photo print ink cartridge 58.

I have always kept to HP inks for my printer. However I now feel that was perhaps a waste. I have had 2 photos that I printed on magnetic paper - and using the 'photo' cartridge in the printer in place of the black - and these have faded miserably. This is not a slight fade, it is to the point they seriously need to be removed. Seems to be no correlation between price and quality with HP inks.

I've read some report(s) somewhere, maybe Consumers Reports, that some of the "off-brand" discount cartridges are not cheaper to use as they contain less ink.

I have used both the "fill my own" and have used Ink Pal cartridges and believe both cost me less per page than using the factory cartridges.

It actually depends on the "off-brand" store. you have to try some of them first before you can choose what store you can trust.
