Inkjet printer cartridges are expensive. If you recycle ink cartridges, you will keep production costs down since it’s easier for the manufacturers to recondition than to start from scratch. Refill It First An often overlooked first step is to refill your ink cartridges with bulk ink. You can do this many times before the inkjet cartridge wears out. This will save you hundreds per cartridge. 
Consider that a low average cost for a new single black inkjet cartridge is $30. The refill ink kit is about $20, but from it you can refill the toner cartridge 10 times. That makes your per-refill cost only $2. If you get 10 refills out of the life of your cartridge, the lifetime cost to refill is $50. Or you can buy new ones over the same time period for $300. Some inkjet cartridges such as Epson require you to buy a small device to reset the control chip each time you refill (yellow device in the photo). They cost about $20, but will last for years.

Buy Reconditioned Ink Cartridges If refilling sounds too messy or bothersome, you can still ink cartridge recycle. Then buy a replacement cartridge that is reconditioned, rather than a new one. A brief comparison follows between internet pricing for new inkjet cartridges at staples.com and reconditioned cartridges at clickinks.com, which offers free shipping on all orders.
