Guest Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Does anyone buy printer ink online and if so, from where? I usually buy it from Target, but I had hoped to find some at a better price on Amazon. I just opened up the cartridges I bought from Amazon, and they are starter packages, in plastic. :( Now I am so leery of buying any ink online.... If I were to buy from Amazon and made sure it was sold by Amazon, would that ensure a cartridge in a box? I have Prime and would love to get it from there, but not if I don't know what I'm getting. ETA: This is for a Brother printer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rbsmrter Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I've been buying from LD Products for years. If you sign up for their newsletter they constantly send coupons for free shipping. I found that they had the best prices on off brand cartridges. They also carry name brand, but I also bought the off brand Canon cartridges and used them without a problem. I just recently bought an HP and they dont have the cartridges I need now. I found the best price for the new cartridges was Costco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hearts4homeschooling Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 eBay. Just read the listing very carefully to be sure it isn't a starter cartridge. You can often get multi-packs for an even better price than just one. As a homeschooler, chances are you WILL use it! I also buy fridge water filters and air cleaner filters there. MUCH cheaper.

curlylocks Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I have an HP Photosmart that takes 6 cartridges. (1 black and 5 color) I bought them at Amazon at an amazing price. They are NOT starter cartridges. I have been very happy with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TN Mama Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I read a recommendation from this forum for InkMarts on ebay and have purchased my ink only from him for maybe 2 years? Shipping is fast and the ink is cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milovany Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Consider refilling them instead. This costs a fraction of the cartridges. It's not hard or messy. I use http://www.encoreink.com -- a homeschooling family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipping is fast and the ink is cheap. Okay, I am intrigued by these people...I think my next order will come from them. If that doesn't work out, refilling my own could be a possibility, as well.
