10 Ways to Get Great Deals When You Buy Ink Cartridges from UK Stores
Office supply stores in the United Kingdom are some of the biggest and best office stores around so I won’t be surprised if you come across some of them, whether online or not.
If you’re thinking about buying ink cartridges UK office supply stores, here are some tips to help you find good deals and great prices:
1. You should know enough about the product that you will be buying. You should know, for example, that an ink cartridge is a removable and replaceable part of the inkjet printer. Ink cartridges carry the ink –some models even carry the print head – which bond with paper and help produce the printed image. The ink cartridge will, as we know, eventually run out ink. It would need to be replaced; often at regular intervals. So it is important to find reliable ink cartridges from reliable stores. Doing so would help you save a lot of money in the long run.
2. Brand name ink cartridges are different from compatible cartridges and remanufactured cartridges. Brand name ink cartridges, also known as OEM (original equipment manufacturer) cartridges are genuine ink cartridges from the manufacturer of the printer. The advantages of using OEM cartridges include the manufacturer’s guarantee of product quality and the OEM’s proprietary technologies that help produce consistently vibrant print images.
3. Compatible ink cartridges, on the other hand, are from third party manufacturers. These are brand new ink cartridges that can work with or are compatible with specific models of printers. As you may have guessed, they are considerably less expensive than OEM cartridges. They are fine for printing in bulk, particularly if you want to stay within your budget.
4. Remanufactured ink cartridges are also third party ink cartridges. They are recycled cartridges that are refilled with ink. Most remanufactured ink cartridges are even less expensive than compatible cartridges.
5. If you decide to buy OEM ink cartridges, make sure you are getting OEM cartridges. Read carefully the product labels and descriptions. You should not see the words “compatible” or “remanufactured” in the product description if you are buying an OEM cartridge.
6. There are many office super stores in the UK to check out; most of them you can also find online. Most office super stores have a diverse range of products which include paper, laptops, printers, folders, boxes, office furniture and computer supplies like ink cartridges. The well-known superstores typically offer a great selection of brands, models and discounts or promotions. The important thing here is to find a reliable office super store.
7. You would know a good store by its track record. Try to find out how long the store has been in business and what the former customers have to say about the products and service.
8. As you buy your ink cartridge, ask about the store’s guarantee of product quality, return policy and money back guaranty. And don’t forget to read the product warranty to find out the terms before making the purchase.
9. Check out the reward schemes and other promotional activities. Some stores offer discounts on the next purchase or if you are buying in bulk.
10. Look for online stores that have email promotions and those that don’t require a minimum number of orders.
