Looking for a Fail safe Generic Ink

Those of you who have read my articles on money saving tips will know my passionate disregard for Brand name printer ink. Not because they are not good quality printer ink but because they are a legal way of committing highway robbery. Those of you who own HP printers and Lexmark printers will know what I am talking about.
I spent some time testing many off brand generic printer ink and came up with some pretty varied results. I am not going to bad mouth any of the Generic Brands that failed my tests because what I did was to look not only at quality, but also at price, shipping costs, easy of availability and customer service.
I do however want to point out a few issues that many people do not think about. When you purchase printer ink the “normal “ way, that is get in your car and drive to an office supply or Wal-Mart you are doing a few things that impact the cost. You are spending time and gas going there and back, you have to pay sales tax and all that is besides the very expensive price you pay for the cartridge itself. The alternative, of coarse, is to stay home or stay in your office and access the internet. You must know of a good online supplier or you will get frustrated hunting around. Once you are at the website you simply click your order, fill in your details and pay by credit card. Remember that you do have to allow a few days for the items to arrive. That may be a bit of a drawback for those of you who are not good at planning for some printer ink inventory. Do not wait for the ink to run out and then order. Remember, if you order from a low priced online supplier you can feel free to order enough considering that the price is so much lower.
Quite a number of online suppliers did pass the quality test, most failed the customer service test and many failed the price test. As far as price is concerned I realize that all generic printer ink is cheaper than Brand name product but how much cheaper can you get and still obtain a quality product? I have been through a number of suppliers and must say that I have saved a lot of money with every one of them. After some time I have settled on one that I like for price, quality and speed of delivery. It simply takes time to find the one good reliable supplier who is also inexpensive. Once you have found that reliable online supplier, and you have tried the product and like it, then stay with that supplier. I have my preference for a good online supplier and have saved so much with Peachtree Ink. Try finding one like that as well.
