How to buy ink cartridges for your printer. If you need to get new ink cartridges you should do some searching before you buy anything.

By Millie K Kaur

Ink cartridges come in various shapes and sizes but it is always important to make sure that you buy the right kind for your printer. There are loads of places that sell ink cartridges such as Staples, Office World, PC World, Tesco and various stores online too.

It's easy to find ink cartridges that will work with your printer. All you need to do is know what to look for on your printer and in store. Most modern printers are compatible with various kinds of ink cartridges so you will have to consider a few things when you are shopping.

Throughout this guide you'll learn how to spot which ink cartridges work with your printer and you'll know where to buy them. Shopping for ink cartridges can be confusing because there are a lot of different types of printers and cartridges available.

You will need to know which brand of printer you have to start with. It may be Lexmark, Canon, HP or Epson which are some of the major brands. It is also important that you know whether you have a laser printer or an inkjet printer because they use different ink cartridges.

Once you have all the information you need then you will easily be able to find the right sort of ink cartridges for your printer. Usually, ink cartridges come in two separate forms. There will be one cartridge for the black ink and one for the three primary colours.

Sometimes, depending on the brand of printer you have, you will have to buy three separate ink cartridges for the three primary colours. Tesco are just one of the many stores who supply cheaper ink cartridges so that you don't have to buy brand specific ink cartridges.

It's really easy to install ink cartridges and newer printers make it simple. It doesn't matter where you buy your ink cartridges from either. Older printers are a lot more mechanical inside so you may find it harder to install ink cartridges compared with newer printers.

In general, it's not difficult to install ink cartridges so you shouldn't have a problem, no matter what brand of printer you have in your home. Most printers come with software that tells you when your ink is running low and they also tell you how to install ink cartridges.

The usual procedure for installing ink cartridges in a new printer is to lift the front panel and select the option on either your PC or the printer directly to install ink cartridges. Just make sure that you read the manual for your printer before you even think about changing ink cartridges because if you get it wrong it is possible that you will break your printer.

There are places that sell ink cartridge refilling kits but they are nothing compared to new ink cartridges because they leak and can cause a real mess. They are sold in Tesco. There is a difference between spending a lot on ink cartridges and being ripped off so make sure that the quality of your ink cartridges are reflected in the price you pay.

If you spend over 15 GBP on ink cartridges then you should consider whether you can find a way to use your printer more to get the most for your money. It should be easy for you to find ink cartridges that are easy to use and easy to install, no matter what kind of printer you have.

Ink cartridges are widely available so you should have no problem finding them. You can look in PC World, Staples and even Tesco and find the ones you need. Make sure you do your research though, to ensure that you know how much you will have to pay for ink cartridges that are suitable for your printer. - 22787
