What to do with extra cartridges?
We use our Hewlett Packard HP C6180 for printing fliers for our
business, and the printer really only seems to use three or four of the colors often. The dark blue, dark magenta, yellow, and black. I buy the all-in-one printer cartridge pack because it's far cheaper than buying each of the four cartridges. My problem is that I have several of each of the light blue and light magenta cartridges. The girl at Office Depot said I could "recycle" the unused cartridges just as I would the used cartridges and still receive my discount, but I don't like the idea of recycling something unused. Does anyone know of a program for getting rid of unused ink cartridges? |

Quite the problem you have. I may be able to help. (in a way) First, I would donate the cartridges to a charity such as a womans shelter or church for full value in a tax receipt. Secondly, I would donate the printer for a reasonable value tax receipt and take a serious look at getting a quality Epson printer for around $100 and a continuous ink system for around $100. (ask me why Epson) It seems to me that your fliers are colour, or you would have invested in a standard laser printer. The colour lasers just don't cut it (for a small business price). You bought a printer with individual colour cartridges to be economical, because that makes sense to replace just the one that needs it. Now, I am not trying to sound cruel or in sensitive to your existing printer, but I do dislike HP for building the print heads on to each new cartridge, which I am sure could be used for hundreds of prints, but gets tossed away after around 40 or so photos. (8.5 x 11). The land fills of North America are full of cartridges and perfectly good printers, as the cartridges have run out of ink, and it is cheaper to buy a new printer. God help us. *** anyhoo- back on track. You need a reliable, in expensive to run and sensible printer, so take a look at this: http://www.geocities.com/rudedude121...nk_system.html I do not sell these- but highly recommend them. Please have a look and feel free to ask any questions... Rudi |

This printer has a permanent printhead which the user CAN replace if needed
unlike an Epson. I think you should just buy what cartridges are needed. The HP value pack with paper is not such a sweet deal. wrote in message oups.com...

If the HP C6180 has a permanent print head, and the cartridges are just shells, than it would be moucho easy to refill them or buy spongeless refillable ones! Bonus! Check out www.inksupply.com for excellent refill kits and some of the worlds best quality third party ink. |

Design a one off themed campaign flier that uses mostly light blue & magenta (maybe just with a small standard colour logo in one corner). Print zillions. Problem goes away. -- Richard C |

Someone said e-bay, I would say http://seattle.craigslist.org/about/cities.html If it's really a better deal to buy multi-packs, it would be a stellar deal to sell the unused tanks, or give them away to a charity. |

Does anyone know of a program for getting rid of unused ink cartridges? Getting back to this a little late - You should carefully examine the ml size on the all in one pack and the individual cartridge boxes. Most HP All-In-One photo packs have half-sized cartridges included. (i.e. the one with the 57/58 cartridges say '57/58 Series', which means they'll work in the printer but are not the exact same model as the individual carts). It might not be a better deal at all. |
