You would certainly not like to be among those who are penny wise, pound foolish. Yes, prudence does not lie in being stingy in minor things and extravagant in major things. But most people become so, often unknowingly. For example you can take the case of buying printer ink cartridges. Inadequate knowledge, ultra-carefulness of being frugal, and misguided ads lead many people buy ink cartridges that are relatively cheap and not at all healthy for their printer. In the long run they discover that in their pursuit to save money, they had to shell out a lot extra.

A little knowledge of how ink cartridges work and how the printer reacts to their quality will enable anybody to understand which product is right for them. Literally, ink cartridges mean a replaceable component of an ink-jet printer that contains the ink and in some cases the print head itself. The ink is spread on the paper used for taking print-out during the time of printing.

Each of the printer ink cartridges carries one or more than one ink reservoirs that remain partitioned. Some manufacturers also add electronic contacts and a chip that build connection with the printer. There remains a heating element with a tiny metal plate or resistor inside each partition of the ink reservoir. When any signal is given, a tiny current flows through the metal and make it warm. The ink then is forced out of the cartridges on the paper through a nozzle. The life and smooth function of the printer depends upon smooth ink flow; and only a good quality printer ink cartridge can ensure this.

Since, printer ink cartridges are expensive, many people use compatible ink cartridges that are made by other companies and not by the printer manufacturer. Some people also tend to use cheap inks with the full knowledge that it is in no way good for the health of the printer. So, in the long run their printer stops working and needs to be replaced. Ultimately, the money they save is lost in buying a new printer. Therefore, it is better to be careful about buying Printer ink cartridge.
