Free Printer Ink

As we all know, printer manufacturers generally price their printers reasonably cheap and charge higher rates for replacement ink or toner cartridges.  This pricing model was pioneered by razor blade company Gillette and continues today. As a result, printer ink is notoriously expensive, often being compared to the price of fine wine, human blood, or snake antivenom. These comparisons aren’t always accurate, but nonetheless highlight the sticker shock you might face the first time you go to buy ink for that new printer. I don’t have a magic wand to wave and change the capitalist ways of multinational companies, but I can (hopefully) help a few of you. Many times when we are called out to replace a failed printer the client still has some unopened ink cartridges left that don’t work with the new printer. We have been collecting these brand new cartridges and are offering them to anyone who asks – for free! If you have a printer that requires any of these models, let us know and we’ll drop it off for you the next time we’re in your neighborhood.
