How to Save on Printer Ink

Ok, we have a new tip for all of the couponers out there.  We all know that with the amount of printing we do, we go through printer cartridges, and ink, like crazy.  I THOUGHT we went through alot when it was just my "tween" daughter printing page after page of "stuff", but the reality is, I print a TON of coupons.  So then I went to printing in only greyscale...still burned through the next cartridge in just over a month.  I decided to take a chance and try something new.  "Real Deal Finder Sister" suggested I google to find less expensive ink over the internet, as she was able to order hers on e-bay for a fraction of the cost of the cost for her "Brother Printer" cartridges.  I discovered that my cartridges were not THAT much cheaper on e-bay, and once you added shipping, I thought I was better off just buying it at Staples.  Then, I came across some "do it yourself" refill kits on e-bay.  I honestly felt like it might be WAY more than I could handle, but I watched a 42 second video (no joke...42 seconds) and I thought, if this is anywhere near as easy as it looks...I can totally do this!!  Watch the same 42 second video here :)
So...I took a chance.  For the price of 2 new Cartridges (that INCLUDED shipping), I ordered the kit which included enough ink to refill EACH cartridge 20 times (there are 4 colours in my printer).  I figured it was a good gamble considering the promise of at east 60 fills with the system.  Shipping  took only 3 days, and the box sat waiting for me at the front door today.  I left it there...at the front door...for a few hours this evening.  I think part of me was afraid to break it open and get started...the part that still thought MAYBE the whole idea was WAY over my head.  Then, reality hit.  I am a smart girl.  I have done great things, and I can do this (and so could the dude in the 42 second video...with ease I might add...so, really, come on...42 seconds?!)
I have great news...I DID IT!!!  All 3 of the colour cartridges (I chickened out 2 days ago and bought a new black one from Staples as an insurance policy, a girl can't go without ANY ink ;).  I can say, that there are a couple of small quirks I need to figure out.  1. I don't know yet how to "reset" the cartridge so that it recognizes it's NOT out of ink, so it keeps telling me it's not going to print, but it does, and 2. the print quality isn't quite as good and crisp as BRAND NEW ink.  It is good enough to live with though, and it passed the "Real Deal Finder Tween"s test ;)
So, my tip of the day...TRY IT, you will save yourself a fortune!  If you want to make sure you can print excellent quality documents, have 2 printers.  You can get a basic HP for $20 at Walmart right now, use one that you re-fill for coupons etc, and another just for the important stuff ;)
