Canon Ink Cartridges, $30 - $80

Why are inkjet printers so inexpensive? Because inkjet printer manufacturers make a better profit selling replacement ink cartridges. (That's also why many printer ink cartridges are so small, so you buy them more often!) Well, beat them at their own game -- buy a discount ink cartridge for your printer at Overstock.com, where your electronics dollar always goes farther. Inkjet printers come in many sizes with various features, from handheld label printers to a stand-alone multifunction printers. They all have one thing in common, however: Every one will need a regular ink refill.

The more ambitious among us can purchase an ink refill kit, which allows the user to reload print cartridges at home. This isn't all that difficult, and it's a great money saver -- just remember, most ink cartridges can only be refilled a few times. Home refill may be more difficult for a high-end multifunction printer (also called all-in-one printers), because you have to work around the copier, fax machine and scanner. For these, it's often easier (and nearly as cost-effective) to buy new or refurbished discount ink cartridges from Overstock.com.

For digital shutterbugs, color photo printers are fast replacing the corner drug store as a place to get your shots on paper. Some printers have eight individual color ink cartridges and, when used with special photo print paper, produce prints almost indistinguishable from film. A good photo printer does not have to be a laser printer; many an inkjet printer can also be an exceptional quality graphics or photo printer.

Whatever model computer printer you use, from the simplest inkjet printer to the most versatile all-in-one printer, you saved a lot of money when you bought it at Overstock.com. Now you should save even more money buying ink cartridges at the Big Red O.

What, you didn't buy your printer at Overstock.com? Well, repentance is still part of our gospel.
