How Much Are You Saving?
Did you ever get the urge to EAT your digital photographs? Sounds weird but now you can! I found this neat web site that sells cake decorating
equipment that allows you to take your favorite photo and print it out on edible "Icing Sheets". Kind of like the opposite of archival quality! heheh.

We have a page where you can download all of our refill kit instructions. It is not linked to our web site but as a reader of this
newsletter I can give it to you for your reference. All the instructions are copyrighted.

We now offer a Wide Format Chip Resetter. It works with the Epson 7600, 9600 and 10000 wide format printers. $59.95. I know, I know,
ouch. It's new, the price will come down eventually.

How Much Are You Saving?
by Barry Shultz
There is a formula for figuring out exactly how much money you can save by using a refill kit. You already know how expensive
OEM inkjet cartridges are and you don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that you can save money by using them. But
how many people know EXACTLY how much money they are saving? If you really knew I'd be willing to bet that if you aren't
refilling now, you are going to take another look after reading this.
I'm going to use our HP790C3B kit as an example. This kit is used for refilling the very popular HP 51645A black and HP C6578 color
cartridges.
Here is the formula:
S = (RC x CCC) + (RB x CCB) - RK
S = Your actual savings over the life of the refill kit
RC = The number of color refills in the kit
CCC = Cost of a new color cartridge
RB = The number of black refills in the kit
CCB = Cost of a new black cartridge
Lets plug in some numbers. Today I checked the prices of the
aforementioned OEM cartridges on Staples web site.
HP 51645A - $29.99
HP C6578AN - $54.99
Our HP790C3B kit refills:
Black - 3 times
Color - 5 times
The kit sells for $27.95.
Here is the formula with the numbers plugged in:
S = (5 x 54.99) + (3 x 29.99) - 27.95
S = (274.95) + (89.97) - 27.95
S = 364.92 - 27.95
S = 336.97
Quite an eye opener isn't it? By spending $27.95 you can save $336.97. I would
get some ink on my hands to save $337.00!
If you think this is a shameless plug so I can sell more refill kits you're probably
right, however, I believe wholeheartedly that if more people knew how much
money they can save there would be a lot less of these cartridges ending up in the
landfills.
Just please remember, start small. If you've never refilled before don't start
by ordering a gallon of ink.

Till next time.
Happy printing
