Running a Small Business? Here's Why You Should Never Pay Retail for Ink Again

If you're a small business owner, you already know how quickly printing costs can add up.

Whether you're producing invoices, marketing materials, shipping labels, or daily paperwork, ink and toner are a constant expense - and one that’s often overlooked in the budget.

But here’s the truth: paying retail for printer cartridges is draining your profits.

At Discount Ink & Toner, we help small businesses cut those costs dramatically - with no compromise in quality or reliability.

Why Retail Ink Prices Hurt Small Business

Retail cartridges are priced like luxury goods. Major brands know you’re locked into buying their cartridges for your specific printer, so they charge premium prices.

The average small business spends hundreds to thousands per year on ink and toner - and most of it is completely unnecessary.

Here’s why:

• Retail markup can exceed 300% on OEM ink
• Big-box stores rarely offer discounts on legacy or specialty cartridges
• Buying one cartridge at a time costs more per page than buying smart

If you're still buying name-brand ink at full price, you're leaving money on the table.

The Smarter Way to Buy Ink

Discount Ink & Toner offers two business-friendly solutions:

OEM Surplus Ink & Toner

• Unopened, unused name-brand cartridges
• Sourced through recycling and liquidation channels
• In and out of expiration date—but always tested and backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee
• Save up to 70% off retail prices

Certified Remanufactured Printer Cartridges (CRPCs)

• Made in the USA using original OEM cores
• Carefully cleaned, rebuilt, refilled, and tested
• Guaranteed to meet or exceed OEM performance
• Environmentally responsible - and incredibly cost-effective

The Numbers Add Up Fast

Let’s say your office goes through 10 cartridges a month. Retail cost? Around $500–$600 depending on the type.

With Discount Ink & Toner, that same volume might cost $200 or less - putting thousands back in your budget each year.

Now imagine you scale that across quarters or multiple locations.
