Where can I find a printer that uses less ink than the average?

How do you find out what kind of ink your printer uses?

  • I really need to print something, but my mom and I can't find out what ink our printer uses. Is there any way we can just look a tit or something to know what kind of ink it needs??

  • Answer:

    Yes, look for the exact model of your printer and google it OR go online to an office product store and plug in the model of your printer. The ink should pop up (example: HP 4L or OfficeJet). Also, look at the name and numbers on the existing cartridges. For instance, mine is HP 21 and HP 22. Gina http://keepitsimplehtml.com

You can look at your printer and google in the model to find what ink catridge it is or bring in your empty ink cartridge in a store like costco or best buy and ask them. Costco has good deals on ink cartridges and they're happy to match the ink cartridge for you. That's where I go for mine.

You could find the model number of the printer. If you find it, you go to the store and just by telling the guy in the store, he/she will know what ink you need

Open the printer's lid and look at the current cartridges that are being used. You can then either write down the cartridge type or else pull them out and take with you to the store.

Find out the model it uses normally electrolyte, put the old catridge in boiling water for 10 mins it will be ready for re prints

Take the cartridges out of the printer and look at them, better yet take them to the store. Or you can ask me.

you should just take the empty cartridge to an office supply store and some one should be able to help you.
