Printer Ink Refills & Kits

Printer Ink Refills to Keep the Pages Printing

As the emphasis on avoiding single-use plastic competes with the need to continue living the life you know, refills on things like printer cartridges can make a difference. Whether you want to save money or save the turtles, eBay has new and used printer ink refill kits for you.

Refills are a friendly option

If you have a printing deadline or if you simply want to create some beautiful picture albums, printer ink refills are an environmentally friendly ink option. Rather than having to go to the store to continually buy new plastic cartridges, you can simply fill the ink as needed in the comfort of your own home or office. You can find the right inexpensive ink for just about any brand of printer you may have with very little hassle.

The great news is that you can use these inkjet inks for practically any type of printer. These ink refills and kits are generally designed for home-based printing and small-scale print jobs. If you have a laser or a dye-sublimation printer, those products are also available.

Some of the common printer brands that accept ink refill products are:

• HP
• Dell
• Canon
• Brother
• Lexmark

You can find the ink refills in regular black, but you can also find them in just about every other color you can imagine. You should check the manufacturer's instructions to ensure that you choose the proper inks for your printer before finalizing the order. Many of the color inks have different hues, so you must get the same one that came with your printer for optimal success.

A few of the possible color options include:

• Cyan
• Magenta
• Tri-Color
• Multi-Color
• Yellow

You will have three basic choices of products to use for your inkjet printing needs. These are:

• Refill bottle: There are large bottles that are usually 500 or 600 milliliters of ink, but you can also choose smaller bottles for added convenience. Some of the bottles are also produced so that the ink can be immediately inserted into the cartridge. This option can be used without the syringe.
• Refill bottle and kit: The bottle and kit comes with at least one bottle of ink, a syringe, and rubber pads. It is possible to get multiples of each part of the kit. To use the cartridge refill kit, place the syringe in the ink, blot extra on the rubber pad, and then insert the ink from the syringe into the printer cartridge.
• Kit: If you have enough ink already, you may just want to get a kit. This is typically just a syringe and blotting pads.
