Epson Ink Cartridges Tackle the Hidden Costs of Home Printing

A shocking sixty per cent of printer-ink goes to waste according to a 2007 study carried out by Epson. Ink cartridges used by households therefore only deliver an average total of just forty per cent of their potential output.

Purchasing printers for your PC or laptop may seem like a relatively cheap cost. These days, you can get very attractive computer/printer packages, and even when you purchase a printing device on its own, the prices are usually extremely fair. But this is not where the cost lies. The running your printer is where you will see the deficits - in fact, Epson themselves have identified that there is detrimental wastage with printer-inks. Epson ink cartridges attempt to tackle this problem.

Can Epson Ink Cartridges Make a Difference?

If you're shopping for a colour printer, you will probably want to get the most out of your money. In other words, you will want to get the best quality prints for the best possible prices. But the better quality prints that your device produces, the more money it will cost you. Did you know that printer-inks cost more per millilitre than the finest champagne? This helps us quantify just how much money an average household is forking out for printed documents. Not only is it costly for the user, but it impacts negatively on the environment - Epson Ink Cartridges are making changes so they can change the impact of products and processes.

Saving Money with Epson

Ink cartridges and toners need replacing more often than most things in the average office. An investigation by the BBC found that some machines were unable to accurately work out when the ink has run out. As some inkjet cartridges store their ink in a sponge rather than a free flow compartment, machines have to make an estimate of how much is left - and this is where wastage becomes a problem. This leads to adverse effects on the environment around us and contributes to the problem of global warming.

Not only can Epson ink cartridges work efficiently to save you money, but the careful environmental approach to tackle the issues of global warming, shows the company's Corporate Social Responsibility in action. The entire vision and strategy of Epson ink cartridges includes life-cycle thinking, chemical management, CO2 reduction, eco-friendly design, efficient production and recycling.
