Want to get more for your money and help to save the environment too? Then the Dell NextLife Ink is the perfect ink cartages for you. They are made from remanufactured cartridges so it helps keep them from landing up in landfills. It’s estimated that 400 million ink cartridges are disposed of every year in our nations’ landfills. But if roughly 1% of the cartridges thrown into landfills were remanufactured by NextLife, the carbon savings over new cartridges would equate to planting almost 15,000 new trees. That makes NexLife Ink an environmentally responsible choice in addition to a great value.

We will have to admit – we rarely attempt to refill an ink cartridge on our own. We either sprung for a new one, or let the experts handle it; that’s just the way we roll, and mainly because we can be such klutzes there is no telling where that ink will end up.

Anyway, we watched this video and figured we were right about leaving it to the experts after all. We could totally imagine being in this guy Jon Davison’s shoes!

It seems like every which way you turn, there are scammers who lurk in the shadows, and they can come up with the most imaginative ways possible to cheat people – and bigshot companies – of their cash.

According to a news report, Xerox became a victim of three scammers who managed to cheat the company out of $90,000.00 worth of printing supplies. Although that amount may seem like a tiny speck of the Xerox fortune, it is certainly an amount that is more than just worth sitting up for and taking notice

That's the debate sparked at Digg's tech page when a user posted this photo comparing deskjet ink prices to the cost of brand name replacement cartridges.

We expect HP's share gains to continue over the Trefis forecast period due to HP's strong relationships with large business buyers and its traction with consumers through its PC business which has also gained share in recent years.
