Lower Priced Printer Cartridges

Many companies are claiming to manufacture cheaper printer cartridges, but are they? A closer look may indicate that consumers are actually paying more for less. Many manufacturer based cartridges such as HP agen streamyx others are actually decreasing Streamyx amount of ink in a cartridge from roughly 11 milliliters to 4.5 milliliters of ink. This increases the overall Streamyx per page to Streamyx double in many instances.

These cheaper cartridges are meant to keep pace with the growing number of remanufactured or cartridge refillers that have thrown their hat into this $ 60 billion dollar arena. For years the industry giants such as HP have given printers away and make up for it by charging $ 40 - $ 50 per cartridge. Think about the several hundred dollars you spend per year on these cartridges.

So you think these industry giants will now give the cartridges away for nothing? Think again, larger cartridges, smaller ink wells, less ink. And what do you get in return, more trips to the store for cartridges and a higher overall price in the long run. They have you dont they?

Think again, discount players such as Cartridge World, www.cartridgeworldusa.com is
a chain store that refills empty ink cartridges for 50% less than the cost of buying new cartridges. Not only are you saving money, but the environment as well. A standard ink cartridge takes over 450 years to decompose in a landfill. So you are saving the environment as well!

Most industry executives admit that these new lower priced manufactured cartridges for $ 15 wont lower consumer costs. There cost most likely will go up. In short, it will only offer an option to that individual that does not print a lot and is only willing to spend the $ 15.

In the end companies such as Cartridge World are still the best bet whether or not you are an avid printer; you are still saving the environment by recycling. With over 1,650 stores globally these guys have hit the mainstream and are not showing signs of slowing down.

Earlier this week, Cablevision unveiled a new DOCSIS 3.0 service tier that delivers 101Mbps downstream and 15Mbps upstream for $99 with no caps, a good deal no matter what kind of technology you favor. The next day, Verizon was quick to Streamyx Cablevision's offer a "parlor trick," and a Verizon representative on Twitter has spent much of the week taking shots at Cablevision's offer. Verizon seemed interested in this particular story by PC Magazine Editor in Chief Lance Ulanoff, where he begins by claiming Cablevision's being misleading:

The other morning as I prepared my lunch, I heard a new Cablevision Optimum Online commercial. . .The Optimum lady said that Verizon would deliver your broadband on its plain old copper lines. . .Optimum's tiny bit of misdirection leaves you with the impression that Verizon's FiOS service is a lie and is fiber in name only.

While the cable industry often likes to intentionally confuse the difference between core and last mile fiber, that doesn't appear to be the case here. We asked for a copy of the ad in question from Cablevision, and it turns out the specific ad was for Optimum's business service, the business logo clearly displayed throughout. Cablevision's ad was specifically responding to a Verizon ad for business-class 7Mbps DSL, not FiOS. Ulanoff goes on to make a few strange arguments about how Cablevision's new 101Mbps residential offer isn't really fast:

At the same time, Cablevision is touting its new DOCSIS 3.0 based 100-Mbps, $99-a-month broadband service. It even got most of the major national media to name it the fastest cable in the country. This could lead people to think it's the "fastest broadband in the country."

Which is curious, since even including municipal fiber deployments in places like Lafayette, Louisiana, Cablevision's new tier is the fastest residential broadband in the country, barring a few tiny carriers. Ulanoff also argues that the service isn't really wanted, and that customers who might want 101Mbps connectivity are somehow being conned by Cablevision:

These superhigh speeds will roll out across the country, but only a handful of well-heeled customers will pay for them. Those users will inadvertently become foot soldiers in Cablevision's efforts to battle FiOS in the more affordable broadband space.

Describing consumers who want the fastest connection available as "foot soldiers" and "well-heeled" makes Cablevision's offer sound almost menacing. When the tier launches on May 11, consumers in our forums will be the first to tell you whether Cablevision is living up to their promise. While the new tier is certainly more than most users need, it's still a good value. Until the speed tests roll in, it seems like the technology press Streamyx be applauding the kind of one-upmanship Verizon and Cablevision are engaging in.

After all, it's what real Streamyx looks like, potshots and all. Not that the potshots mean anything, anyway. Like their response to DOCSIS 3.0, Verizon has called Cablevision's decision to offer free Streamyx "a marketing ploy," yet the Wall Street Journal today cites insiders who say Verizon may offer free Wi-Fi themselves sometime this summer as part of a partnership with Boingo. It's likely that once Verizon gets done complaining, they'll eventually unveil their own 100Mbps FiOS offering. One more time with feeling: ain't competition grand?
