Nobody likes to feel left out. So what would you do if I told you that office supply stores have been keeping a big secret? Don’t freak out just yet. But maybe start soon, because here’s what they don’t want you to know:
Most printer ink costs more than buying a new printer does. And, even worse, a lot of that ink is going straight to waste. Included in a majority of printers is a tiny well (often called a “spittoon”) that holds the ink left over from the printer’s cleaning processes. Instead of being re-incorporated into the printer’s later processes, this ink just stays unused or evaporates.
So it’s bad enough that printer ink costs, on average, more per ounce than the finest champagne. But now it’s actively going to waste inside your machine. Don’t let yourself get caught up on the despair of it all. What can you do to avoid this cycle of waste?
