*anj* Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I expect to run out of printer ink pretty soon and I would love to avoid spending a mint on new cartridges. I have an HP Deskjet 5150. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue G in PA Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Do you have a Walgreens nearby? They refill black cartridges for $10 and do a good job. Color for $15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*anj* Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Do you have a Walgreens nearby? They refill black cartridges for $10 and do a good job. Color for $15. Really? Are you saying that you just take your empty cartridges into the store and an employee refills them while you wait? That is awesome. Yes, we do have Walgreens. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diana in OR Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I haven't had great success with getting my cartridges refilled, so I buy my replacements at Costco for about half the price of what office stores charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*anj* Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Is it really that much cheaper at Costco? We don't have memberships to any of those places, so I always have to factor in a membership fee. Hmmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I waited for about 15 min. and got my cartridge back good as new. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamato4 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 it's an online store that I accidentally found. I have an HP Deskjet 882 which uses HP cartridges 45 and 23. I bought from this place the compatible b&w ink for my printer and I've been happy so far. One cartridge only costs $6.99. Even with shipping, it was way cheaper! I'm still on my first cartridge and I'm trying to keep track of how long it lasts. I do notice that refills do not print as sharp as the original HP inks. But since I'm using it mainly for printing out assignment sheets and the TOG questions, it's good enough for me. Our Walgreen's also offers the refills. HTH!

Jean in IN Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 cool! I just saw this the other day and was going to ask if anyone does this. It's hard to believe that you can get ink for less then half the price of a new cartridge! I'm going to do this next time I need ink.

HSDCY Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 123inkjets.com I was so happy I found this website, my cartridges cost me $4.99 each now (Amazon charges $59 for 4) and they often email me different discount offers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*anj* Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 Thanks for the info on that source. That is really cheap, isn't it? Wow. I'm sorry to have missed you at ENOCH. I actually got there late because I was volunteering at a workshop that didn't end on time. What year of TOG are you doing, btw? ;) it's an online store that I accidentally found.

Wow, this one looks really good too. How do you think the print quality compares to HP ink? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisN in NY Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 IMPORTANT NOTE: Don't refill your ink cartridges until after your printer's warranty has expired (usually 90 days last I knew). Doing so will void your warranty. I refill my ink cartridges myself. I don't like the idea of going to Walgreens or whereever because it's "universal" ink which, while it works for most, doesn't work for ALL and I don't want to take the chance. I buy my ink from Encore Ink, a business run by a homeschool family. They sell aftermarket ink for YOUR make and model printer. You can buy just ink, or you can buy a kit that includes all the supplies and instructions needed. They ship VERY quickly, and provide GREAT customer service! HTH!
