A report from Computer Shopper Magazine which was disseminated through the public on its March 2009 release (page 11) stated that the price of ink cartridges for printers has risen to unprecedented heights although this trend has gone unnoticed by many consumers.
Since June 2007, the price of ink has shot up by more than 50%. What may seem to be just an extra 2p or 3p per printout soon adds up. There was a marked increase in the cost of printing between December 2007 and January 2008 which Computer Shopper gathered these figures from printers reviewed over the past 18 months, and they always choose the cheapest possible prices.
It's not clear if this situation is due to global increases in the price of the oil needed to manufacture ink cartridges or printer manufacturers seeking extra profits. However, the hidden cost of the printer is likely to have increases significantly over the past 18 months.
People who print out only a handful of pages in a year are not necessarily immune from the rising price of ink cartridges. They may find they have to replace cartridges that have lain id;e because the ink has solidified and clogged up the print heads.
Thus, when buying a new printer, remember that multifunction peripherals (MFPs) are often more expensive to run than regular printers. In all cases, they advise buying high-yield ink cartridges to save costs. Where available, there are the cartridges they use to calculate the print costs.
Customers should also be aware that cartridges for budget MFPs often cost more than those of their more expensive counterparts. Take note of the price-per-page calculations in their reviews when looking for a printer to buy. This way, customers can find the real bargains and not end up making a buying decision they will regret.
