These days, printers (the hardware) are a “dime a dozen”. Why? Because the real business of manufacturers are to sell the “consumables”. By that, I mean – ink.

Just recently, I’ve been consuming my own ink for my personal printer really fast. But now, there are alternatives to saving money on printer ink.

The first, and obvious thing, is to have your ink cartridges refilled. Although this is the fast and easy way, the life of your “head” and toner cartridge  is limited and often does not give the same quality output.

Fortunately, there are other options. Learn more after the jump.

One such way to reduce your printer ink costs is to buy premium ink cartridges without the premium price tag. One such company that does this is Carrot Ink.

Carrot ink offers branded cartridges such as Epson ink cartridges and canon inket cartridges at prices that are 30% to 70% LESS than what print manufacturers charge.

Every Carrot Ink Brand product that hits your doorstep has been manufactured under stringent ISO 9001/2000 standards. And yet the quality speaks for itself in exceptional looking printouts.

So, you can go ahead and print all the photos, artwork and even doodles without worrying about printer ink costs now. I’ve been to their website and you’ll easily find what you need. The names of major manufacturers are easily identifiable. Just click the manufacturer of your printer, then look for your printer model, click that and ORDER. It’s that simple. You can also search via toner or cartridge model number.

Carrot Ink also offers same day shipping and a 100% satisfaction guarantee, as well as a no-questions-asked return policy.

What’s more, Carrot Ink is the proud recipient of BizRate.com’s Circle of Excellence Platinum Award for exceptional performance in online retailing during the 2001, 2002, and 2003 holiday shopping seasons. Only a handful of other online retailers can claim this same distinction of being recognized as one of the top online retailers three years in a row.

You can’t beat that kind of service. Great cost, great product, great value!
