There are a lot of printers on the market and if you're looking to buy a new printer it can be quite overwhelming to see just how many choices there are.
Budget conscious consumers will often shop based on price, but looking for the cheapest printer might not be the smartest thing to do.
The running costs of a printer are often more significant than the initial purchase price - some companies even give away free printers in the hope you will buy the more expensive cartridges when it comes time to refill.
When it comes to checking prices for the total cost of ownership of printers, Inkfactory.com is a good place to start, they don't sell printers and so that means you can be sure their ink cartridges prices are going to be competitive.
Click through to the printer model you're considering purchasing and you will see a list of cartridges that are guaranteed to be compatible with that model of printer. For example, here are a few current printer models you can click through to.
BROTHER PRINTERS
CANON PRINTERS
EPSON PRINTERS
HP PRINTERS
Clicking further into the site you can see the specification of each cartridge along with the price and how many pages that cartridge will print (although at the time of writing this information is not available for all cartridges); use this information to make yourself informed about the running costs BEFORE you buy your next printer.

What is a remanufactured cartridge?
A remanufactured ink cartridge is a recycled, refurbished and refilled ink cartridge.
When a customer purchases a new ink cartridge, they will usually turn in an empty cartridge in exchange. These empty cartridges are shipped to certain third party manufacturers for refurbishing and refilling. The third party then ships the cartridges to retailers labeled for resale as "remanufactured cartridges.”
These types of cartridges usually cost a percentage less than new ones.
