When it comes to printing, you should always be sure that you have the correct printer cartridge to print with the colours and quality you are after. Because of this, Cartridgex has come up with the top 5 most common ink cartridge buying mistakes.

Ignoring the manual.

Nothing is more frustrating than not knowing what model you need. Instead of being unsure of your purchase, read the manual that your printer came with. The owners manual will have the type of printer cartridge you need. This will help you avoid ordering a cartridge that won’t work for your printer, as well as making sure the cartridge you have ordered will give you the colour and quality you’re after.

Not confirming the printer model and cartridge number before you begin shopping.

Whether you’re looking for a printer cartridge that’s for coloured or black and white printing, you need to make sure you have the correct model for the printer you have. Check with your printer before you buy the printer cartridge you think is the one you need.

Choosing the wrong ink for your project.

Make sure you know what type of ink you’re looking for. There are problems like realising that you purchased the wrong type of ink for the project you’re working on. To keep it simple, there are two different types of ink that you can choose from, a dye-based ink or a pigment-based ink.

Buying refill options rather than buying a new cartridge.

Although refill kits may be able to save you some money, they rarely provide users with the results they’re looking for. We’re not saying that refill cartridges don’t work well, but if you don’t do it correctly, more than likely, you’ll end up with a result you’re not satisfied with.

Paying too much for your printer cartridge.

We understand that price is always a factor when purchasing a printer cartridge. We get it. Paying too much or too little is a mistake that you shouldn’t make. You should always check out reviews on cartridges that you haven’t tried before, especially if the price is right!
