The original and best choice for us is to stick with the HP Officejet Pro ink cartridges, but begin to "shop around." As is the way with any product, there are different prices from one vendor to another. One of the best places to begin looking is the Google products page. The site has done a lot of the work for you, displaying you a list of the suppliers and their prices for the product you enter into the search bar.
Even if this may save you a little more, more savings can be got if you think buying in bulk at shops like SAM-INK.com. While you buy in bulk, the costs incurred by the manufacturer are less and a portion of those savings are often passed on to you.
Another item to consider is purchasing ink refills. These refill kits can be found and purchased online and in ink supply stores. Prices of kits and quantity of ink can vary, so it would be a good idea to do some research on price. If you would like to buy online, just search the number of ink cartridge and HP ink refill kit, for example "97 HP ink refill kit." These kits generally come along with an instruction manual, or "how-to" guides and instructional are available online. The basic premise is simple. You are first directed to pierce holes located on the cartridge with a needle and then slowly fill the cartridge. After refilling the cartridge to the appropriate level, the holes in the cartridge can be re-covered with included covers or with tape, and then the cartridge is ready to be put back into the printer.
If you still can't find a good price on HP ink, and you don't want to try filling your own cartridge, then you might want to consider re-manufactured ink, or an alternative. There are great ink brands that make cartridges to fit the HP models. To locate these do a search like "HP 97 compatible" in a price comparison site like mentioned above. Re-manufactured ink is very much alike.
Re-manufacturing companies use the original cartridges, refill them, replace parts and clean them to then resell them to you at a much cheaper price than a brand new one.
Another option, perhaps less ideal is to consider is to purchase a new printer. The price of printers has dropped significantly in recent years, while quality continues to improve. Another company's product might be more desirable, especially considering there are others that provide ink cartridges in a much more reasonable price range.
Whether you decide to stay with Officejet Pro products, go for having a choice, or go for an in between, you won't have cut your budget, shorten your documents, or print off personal documents at work in secret anymore.
So you have grown tired of paying the ludicrously high prices charged for new HP ink cartridges. Possibly you have found yourself worrying the "empty cartridge" warning and the fearful shopping travel, but don't be afraid. There are various methods to save, even on Hewlett-Packard ink.
