The Great Ink Cartridge Conspiracy!

Buying an inkjet printer these days is no big deal. A reliable printer can be acquired very easily through a store or online for as little as $50. Some suppliers are even giving away inkjet printers on promotions or as free incentives when buying other products. Onrepparttar face of it, it seems like too good an opportunity to pass by - a worthwhile investment you might say.

But, much like a traditional camera that uses film, an inkjet printer is only 'cheap' before you start using it. The cost of keeping it in ink soon mounts up, especially when you're buying OEM (original equipment manufactured) inkjet cartridges as recommended byrepparttar 105113 printer manufacturer. Before you know it you'll find that you've actually spent more onrepparttar 105114 ink cartridges than you did onrepparttar 105115 purchase ofrepparttar 105116 inkjet printer itself!

If you're in this position - and let's face it, most of us are - what follows could be quite a revelation!

Five things inkjet printer manufacturers DON'T want you to know…

1. Inkjet printer manufacturers make their money selling ink cartridges NOT inkjet printers

Selling recommended OEM ink cartridges is a very lucrative business for inkjet printer manufacturers. They know that once you've purchasedrepparttar 105117 printer you'll be coming back to them time and time again to buyrepparttar 105118 ink that they recommend inrepparttar 105119 user guide and any other literature that accompaniesrepparttar 105120 printer. Fair enough you might say, but given thatrepparttar 105121 price of manufacturing an OEM ink cartridge is only a few cents why arerepparttar 105122 cartridges so expensive? The answer is that ink cartridges are in fact stuffed full of manufacturer profit. It is where they make their money, and is precisely why they are happy to give away an inkjet printer for nothing.

2. Inkjet cartridges supplied for 'free' with inkjet printers are rarely full OEM ink cartridges supplied withrepparttar 105123 printer are designed only to provide enough ink for a few pages to get you 'started'. Fromrepparttar 105124 manufacturer's perspective this is a great selling technique, as free cartridges can often makerepparttar 105125 difference between a retailer closing a sale or losing it…and once you've gotrepparttar 105126 printerrepparttar 105127 manufacturer is going to make money out of you every time you order more OEM ink! Supplying ink cartridges that are not full shortensrepparttar 105128 timeframe over which consumers start ordering OEM ink cartridges too. This bringsrepparttar 105129 manufacturer into profit on each customer much more quickly than had they supplied full cartridges for free withrepparttar 105130 printer.

Nowadays inrepparttar digital technology world, consumers are getting more inclined inrepparttar 105111 digital imaging market. As compared before, digital imaging tools like digital cameras, color printers and color scanners became less expensive, thus more accessible to eager users. Digital colors, along with their inherent complexities accompanyrepparttar 105112 boom of digital imaging technology.

With due consideration torepparttar 105113 complaints of typical end-users thatrepparttar 105114 colors onrepparttar 105115 monitor do not match withrepparttar 105116 printed item, there is a need for proper understanding andrepparttar 105117 right color model to go aroundrepparttar 105118 intricate behavior of digital color. Very few people understandrepparttar 105119 theory of how digital color works even with much technological advances in it. A printer’s inability to go aroundrepparttar 105120 intricacies of these new color technologies can lead to a general decline of consumers.
