Frequently Asked Questions
Why Should I Use Refilled Cartridges?
We have Seven good reasons why you should refill a Inkjet or Toner Cartridge:
Price. Recycled cartridges cost 30% to 60% less than new ones.Reduces Waste. Of the Millions of inkjet cartridges purchased annually, only 20 to 25 percent are currently recycled (refilled). The rest, usually over 300 million have been dumped in landfill sites.
Save Natural Resources. One Liter (about32oz) of oil is required to produce one new Toner cartridge. This year alone cartridge recycling will save over20Million liters. (5,350,000 gallons)
Excellent Quality. Recycled cartridges contain high-quality components, toners and inks giving uncompromising print quality and durability
Creates jobs. Most recyclers are local, small businesses creating jobs for local people to the benefit of the local community. Most new cartridges are imported.
It's Your Right. You have the right to choose the products of your choice. The printer manufacturer would like you to choose a new cartridge every time, yet recycled cartridges are fully compatible.

Is it OK to keep printing if my cartridge is showing signs of running out of ink?
No. Like the gas tank in your car, don't let the tank run empty! Ink helps keep the resistors from overheating. Printing with an empty cartridge can cause irreparable heat damage to the resistors. With tri-color cartridges, this applies even if only one of the colors runs out. You risk damaging the cartridge if you continue to use it with one tank empty.
What are some signs that my cartridge is running out of ink?
The two most common signs are (1) white streaks where there should be black ink and (2) lighter-than-normal print. Sometimes these also can be signs of clogged nozzles, bad circuit or worn internal components. Here at Save on Ink we can make that determination.
What do I do with a cartridge that is no longer recyclable?
One sure rule is that all inkjet cartridges will eventually reach the end of their life cycles. And they don't ever seem to fail at the same time that they run out of ink! You eventually will need to buy a new cartridge or obtain another empty that can be refilled.
