If you haven't tried this, refilling your printer cartridges is a good way to save money and help out the environment. Cartridges can be refilled numerous times if done correctly. I asked a friend if she knew of a place I could get my printer cartridges refilled here in Jakarta. She recommended Amazon Refill Station in Ratu Plaza. I'm sure there are other places around town, but I have really liked Amazon Refill Station. It cost IDR 40,000 to refill my HP color cartridge and IDR 25,000 to refill the black cartridge. I was told that the cartridges could be refilled 5 times each.
Check out this article Ways To Go Green with Ink Cartridges. I liked the 4 step outline that was set out in the article. The article wasn't that long, but if you don't want to read it, in a nutshell it said:
1) CONSERVE-make the ink last as long as possible
2) REFILL-doesn't require additional manufacturing and is cheaper
3) RECYCLE- 80% less energy consumed than manufacturing a new one
4) SUPPORT-choose eco-friendly products and companies
FYI:

ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. It is definitely a smart money-saving move to buy inexpensive ink cartridges and have them refilled. I can refill my black ink cartridges almost 4 times and the colored ones twice for about the same price as one new cartridge.
