Since the earlier versions of cartridges incorporate both print head and the ink cartridge, it was very natural that such maintenance would be costly in the long run.
You had to replace both printer head and ink cartridge when the ink in the cartridge finishes. For this, you had to shell out huge money.
When it comes to the cartridge replacement, there are two options that the consumer grapples with as to what to choose. These options are re-filling the cartridge and purchasing a new one. Financial constraint allows you to re-fill the cartridge with ink. In case of cartridge replacement, you need to purchase a new cartridge, for this you need to spend some money. But in case of re-filling, all you need to do is re-fill the cartridge with the ink. This is a little bit cheaper as compared to purchasing a whole new cartridge. But remember that the refilling ink can not give your cartridge the same quality as you get from the new cartridges.
However, in the changing scenario, there are cartridges available for refilling but the printer should support the refilled cartridges. You can also purchase the print heads and ink cartridges separately from the market. The advancements in technology have improved the quality of print heads exceptionally.
The number of companies dealing in the printer cartridges and refilling is quite large, so the competition is bound to exist. To name a few :
