Where should I buy ink cartridges?

Cartridge World. There's one at the Emory Commons shopping center. It's a good place to buy your ink cartridges for two reasons.

1. It's cheaper. The first time you buy an ink cartridge from them you'll pay pretty much what you would pay at Office Depot or Target. But when you bring that cartridge back and they refill it for you (takes less than 3 minutes) it's about half that price.

2. It's recycling. Most ink cartridges now have a computer chip on them that helps your computer keep up with how much ink you have left. That's how it knows when to send you incessant messages to refill soon...but I digress... anyway, those chips don't need to go in the garbage or the landfill because they contain toxins that don't need to make their way into the earth. So, not only does it keep the cartridge itself from taking up space in the landfill, it help prevent contamination as well.

Good work, Cartridge World!
