Printer Cartridges

A printer ink cartridge or an inkjet cartridge is the replaceable component of an inkjet printer which contains the ink and sometimes the print head itself that is made in spread on paper during printing. Each of the ink cartridge contains one or more partitioned ink reservoirs; also some cartridge models add electronic contacts and a chip that communicates with the printer.

Variants

Basically, two separate cartridges are inserted into a printer; one containing black ink and one with each of the three primary colors. Alternatively, each of the primary color may have a dedicated cartridge. Some of the cartridges contain ink specially formulated for printing photographs. The cartridges for different printers may be incompatible - either physically or electrically. Some of the cartridges have incorporated the printer's head. Other cartridges don't include the print head and so can cost less.

As the replacements of cartridges from the original manufacturer of the printer are often expensive, several other vendors provide refilling service which is less expensive. The refilling of cartridges always costs less and for almost the same quality and more ink volume, you can always go for a cartridge refill instead of replacement. Dell consumers can refill their ink cartridges themselves with a refill kit, or they can simply take the cartridge to a refiller or manufacturer where ink is pumped back into the cartridge.
