Today we purchased an ink cartridge for our All-In-One Inkjet printer from Office Depot. They are offering an exchange program where we can trade in our empty ink cartridge for a free ream of copy paper. Alternately, they are also offering $3 off the price of a new ink cartridge for the trade in, if we do not need a ream of paper. Moreover we found out that Office Depot has their own series of re-manufactured ink cartridges priced at about 77% of the price of an original Lexmark ink cartridge.

The regular price of a black and white Lexmark ink cartridge for our All-In-One Inkjet printer at Office Depot is $32.89 . We purchased Office Depot's re-manufactured ink cartridge for $25.49 which saved us $7.4. Adding the $3 discount (by trading in the empty ink cartridge) brought our savings to $10.40 !! That was a little more than 31% off the price of an original Lexmark ink cartridge and was a neat deal with respect to savings and the environment as well. Now we have to check out the performance of Office Depot's re-manufactured ink cartridge on our printer and see if the money was worth it.

Office Max is having a similar exchange program. They also have their own series of compatible or re-manufactured cartridges.

Lets talk about margins. The most common selling Epson compatible ink cartridge today is the T0711 which we sell to the trade for £0.85 + VAT (our compatibles contain 19ml of ink). The Epson original T0711 retails for £8.99 (inc VAT) with only 6.5ml of ink, so you can immediately see the benefit to your customer. More ink equals more value. We would suggest a retail price of about £3.99 inc VAT, which equates to a possible profit of around £3 per cartridge. Remember that the T0711 compatible printers take 4 separate cartridges - a black cartridge plus three colours. So a complete set of cartridges will bring you a profit of £12.00 per sale.
