Consumer printer products are a dime-a-dozen nowadays. Thanks to manufacturer’s capital investments in engineering, printer technology, and moving manufacturing to lower-cost centers like Southeast Asia, printers and their accessories have become unbelievably affordable. There is no time like the present to buy a high-quality printer for your home office.

But what about after you buy the printer? The manufacturer can only sell a certain number of these per year, since they are on the higher end of what people will purchase on a monthly basis – not near what a car or refrigerator costs, but definitely more than a loaf of bread and many other consumable items. So where do the printer companies make their money?

If you said toner and ink – you guessed it. Companies like Hewlett-Packard make their cash buy selling ink and toner to the consumer, which allows them to plow more money back into the capital engineering expenditures like engineering and automation mentioned earlier – which often results in higher quality for a lower price. But how do you know which inks and toners are best? Thank the Internet – you can find numerous blogs and forums that offer HP ink reviews.

Thankfully, since we don’t all have HP printers, HP ink reviews are not the only ones available out there. There are literally thousands of different sources of information as to which printer products and inks are the best for your printer or fax machine – all dependent upon quality and need. Dozens of variations can exist in single manufacturer’s product lines – especially the big dogs like HP, Canon, Lexmark, and a few others. Don’t be intimidated by them, though – just read the reviews. Wondering about color, ink particle count, ink composition, or any other minutiae, but don’t know where to turn? Once again, reviews can help you sort that out. But first… don’t you have to go buy that printer?
