A colleague of yours is seeking advice on purchasing replacement ink cartridges for his inkjet printer. He saw a company advertising refillable ink cartridges for much cheaper than the manufacturer charges, and he is asking for your advice on these. What do you tell him?
  1. These ink cartridges are identical to manufacturer ink cartridges and are a great bargain.
  2. Refillable ink cartridges should not be used because they are against manufacturer warranties.
  3. Refillable ink cartridges should not be used because print-heads are built into the cartridges.
  4. Refillable cartridges are superior to manufacturer cartridges and should always be used.
Explanation
Answer: C - Refillable ink cartridges should not be used because print-heads are built-into the cartridges.

Key Takeaway: Inkjet printers heat the ink, forcing it to bubble through print-heads onto the paper. Because print-heads are built-into the print cartridges, these heads can easily get clogged if used more than once. Hence, buying refillable ink cartridges may end up costing you more than buying the manufacturer ones.
