Where can I get inexpensive ink and toner?
If there’s one thing worse than the price of gas (petrol?!) it’s the cost of Ink and Toner.
There’s really no need for the big name manufacturers to mark it up so heavily.
Yes, you can buy 3rd party manufactured ink but you likely void your printer warranty if you use it.
You can buy refill kits, risking blowing up your cartridge and overusing the head and again voiding whatever warranty there is.
The only other option is to be hung up by your thumbs by the manufacturers and pay more per gallon of ink than you would to fill your car.
The 3rd party manufacturers aren’t so bad. As long as you go to someone reputable and get the right cartridge. They can be a darned sight cheaper that’s for sure.
I’ve heard that InkJetDeals.info can be pretty good. They list the stores that sell discounted ink and toner cartridges as well as coupons for the stores (which is nice).
Do you know of any sites like this? are there any others that list or review ink and toner stores online?
Do you know of any good sites that offer tips and tricks? trouble shooting information and stuff?
What if my funky Brother multi function printer throws a wobbler and dies - do you know a good place (apart from Brother) where I can find some support?

Hey, Andy:
Of course I am partial, but I recommend the ReChargX brand of toner refill kits from http://www.TonerRefillKits.com (our company).
We have been in the toner and toner cartridge remanufacturing business for over 20 years and a bit over ten years ago we decided we would take our technology and bring it directly to the end user so they could refill their own cartridge, in under 10 minutes, for an average 70% discount off of the “office superstore” price.
The key reason our kits work as well as they do (beyond all of the experience that went into making them) is the fact that your cartridge went empty (or a “cartridge killer chip” declared it was empty), it didn’t break.
It stands to reason that until the cartridge does finally wear out, if you had a way to put more toner into it (and replace that chip if needed), it would come back to life.
That’s where our 100% guaranteed ReChargX brand toner refill kits come into play.
Every one of our kits for designed for more than 5,500 different printers, fax and copy machines (with more being added all the time) includes the same toner formula specified by the manufacturer (yes, they do vary widely in formulation) and complete instructions to bring your cartridge back to life (and if a chip is required, we take care of that, as well).
Everything we offer is backed up by a no-time-limit, no-fine-print guarantee.
Simply stated, if you aren’t delighted with our products, we don’t deserve to keep your money.
By the way, the average toner cartridge can be refilled 2 - 4 times before it finally does go to “cartridge heaven”.
Glad I could weigh in on the “where can I save a bunch of money on toner” thread,
